The authors find that in Lesotho education appears to have a protective effect: it is negatively associated with HIV infection (although not always significantly) and it strongly predicts preventive behaviors. The findings also show that married women who have extra-marital relationships are less likely to use a condom than non-married women. This is an important source of vulnerability that should be addressed in prevention efforts. The paper also analyzes HIV infection at the level of the couple. It shows that in 41 percent of the infected couples, only one of the two partners is HIV infected. Therefore, there are still opportunities for prevention inside the couple. 2012-06-11T14:48:10Z 2012-06-11T14:48:10Z 2007-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2007/12/8821884/determinants-hiv-infection-related-sexual-behaviors-evidence-lesotho http://hdl.handle.net/10986/7638 English Policy Research Working Paper; No. 4421 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Africa Lesotho |

This paper analyzes the socioeconomic
determinants of HIV infection and related sexual behaviors
using the 2004 Lesotho Demographic and Health Survey. The
authors find that in Lesotho education appears to have a
protective effect: it is negatively associated with HIV
infection (although not always significantly) and it
strongly predicts preventive behaviors. The findings also
show that married women who have extra-marital relationships
are less likely to use a condom than non-married women. This
is an important source of vulnerability that should be
addressed in prevention efforts. The paper also analyzes HIV
infection at the level of the couple. It shows that in 41
percent of the infected couples, only one of the two
partners is HIV infected. Therefore, there are still
opportunities for prevention inside the couple. |
