Sexually Transmitted Infections 2009;85(Suppl. 1). Jim Todd, Basia
Zaba, Simon Gregson, editors This supplement presents 10 recent analyses of sexual behaviour from longitudinal studies in Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe and South Africa--experiencing different sizes and stages of the HIV epidemic. Ugandan data show that younger cohorts of women are delaying sexual debut compared with earlier cohorts, although little change has occurred for Zimbabwean women. In rural South Africa, early sexual debut is associated with peri-urban residence and the death of a parent. Three papers report on sexual behaviour after marriage. The results provide valuable information for use in evaluating trends in HIV epidemics and the impact of HIV prevention programmes. An underlying purpose is to highlight appropriate methods to encourage better analysis and presentation of sexual behaviour data, especially as they relate to HIV and HIV prevention.
