Male subpopulation groups reporting sexual intercourse with different types of partners in the past one-year
Female sex worker: Seven percent diamond industry workers and 2% male slum dwellers had reported having had sexual intercourse with a female commercial partner in the preceding year and 1% male university students had also reported similar sexual behaviour during the same period (Figure 7).
Female non regular partner (does not include female sex worker) : Apart from having commercial partners, nearly one third of the male clients of sex workers had non-regular partners in the preceding year.
Just as for having commercial partners, a lower proportion of male slum dwellers (5%) had sex with non-regular partners as compared to the diamond industry workers (10%) as shown in Figure 8. A larger proportion of male university students had reported having sex with female non-regular partners than with female commercial partners.
Male partner: Apart from commercial and non-regular female partners, 2.4% male clients and small proportions of other male sub groups had also reported anal sex with a male partner in the last one-year (Figure 9).
