Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.

Question pretext

I would like to talk with you about another subject - your sexual life and sexual partners. I know it may be difficult to remember exactly, but I would
like you to answer the questions to the best of your knowledge, as this information is very important for the survey. I would like to assure you that
this information is all completely private and anonymous and cannot be linked to you or any partner in any way.

Interviewer instructions

This question is asked if the respondent is not married and does not have a sexual partner (the answers to questions Q6601 and Q6602 are "No"). The question asks for important information about respondents' sexual behaviour. Note that by sexual intercourse we mean penetrative sexual intercourse in the vagina, anus or mouth. The interviewer must be tactful and provide more details if necessary, but ask the question exactly as it is worded.
