Abstract: The purpose of this study is to provide baseline estimates for the PSI/Kenya five-year project, "Concurrent Sexual Partnerships (CSP)". The project intends to create an understanding of how a large number of otherwise unrelated individuals can be connected sexually in a network of concurrent relationships; to demonstrate how the infection of one individual in the network with HIV can result in the rapid transmission of the virus to individuals throughout the network; and to build an appreciation of concurrency as one of the primary behaviors contributing to the high incidence of HIV among relationships previously considered “low risk”.
