Both primary and secondary abstinence levels have risen in the past 10 years in Kenya. The abstinence levels were higher among female youth than among male youth. Multivariate analyses show that knowledge that abstinence can prevent HIV infection was positively associated with the likelihood of practicing abstinence (both primary and secondary). However, knowledge that condom use can prevent HIV infection was associated with lower abstinence practice.
