Condom use is more widespread - Study

Most Batswana identify with condom use as shown by the lower percentage of those who do not use condoms in the productive age group of 15 to 49, the Botswana AIDS Impact Survey III has revealed.

Making a presentation at the launch of the report at Phakalane Golf Estate, the Chief Demographer of the Central Statistics Office, Dr Peter Ubomba -Jaswa, said all survey participants  who had ever had sexual intercourse were asked about condom use with their most recent,  next-most recent and second-most recent sexual partners.

Generally, 55 percent of the respondents used a condom the first time they had sexual intercourse with their most recent sexual partners. However, the demographer said, condom use declined as the list went on.
