This working paper examines men’s condom use at last higher-risk sex (i.e., nonmarital, noncohabiting partner) in five sub-Saharan countries: Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia. The two most recent DHS surveys in each country are analyzed to show trends in various indicators. Use of condoms has increased substantially in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, and Tanzania, with smaller increases in Kenya and Zambia. Multivariate analysis shows that higher education is a consistently strong, positive predictor of condom use at last higher-risk sex, whereas higher wealth status is not significant in most surveys.
