Abstract
Research on concurrent sexual partnerships in sub-Saharan Africa is hindered by lack of accurate partnership data. Life history calendars could be beneficial for gathering such information. Using retrospective calendar data from a population-based sample of youth ages 18-24 in Kenya (N=608), we estimated the prevalence and correlates of concurrency. In the sixth month before the survey, 3.5 per cent of females and 4.0 per cent of males experienced concurrency. Males had more concurrencies and of shorter duration than females. Using survival analysis, we found that the characteristics of initial partnerships affect entry into a second (concurrent) relationship. Among females, marriage decreases and geographic separation from a partner increases the risk of concurrency, and relationship duration increases the risk for males. For both sexes, casual relationships and the perception of partner infidelity increase the risk, suggesting that concurrency expands one's egocentric sexual network and bridges additional networks involving partners' other partners.
