9. 2006 UDHS By age , the prevalence of STIs and STI symptoms was higher among the 30-39 age cohort (2 5 percent of women and 1 4 percent of men) By education, women with primary education were more likely to have reported STI infections or STI symptoms (2 4 percent of women and 1 5 percent of men) By wealth, women in the fourth and highest quintiles were slightly more likely than others to have reported STI infections or STI symptoms.

10. Cont’d By marital status, widowed/ divorced /separated women and men were more likely to have reported STI infections or STI symptoms with 24% and 18% respectively compared to their counterparts . By residence, rural women and men were more likely to report STI infections or STI symptoms compared to their urban counterparts. By region, women and men from central 1&2 reported more STI infections or STI symptoms than those from other regions

11. 2011 UDHS Among both women and men, the prevalence of STIs and STI symptoms was higher among the 30-39 age cohort (29 percent of women and 16 percent of men) and also among those living in the East Central region (37 percent of women and 28 percent of men).

15. COMPARISON AMONG THE THREE UDHS By marital status more attention should be put on women who are married , divorced /separated and widowed aged 30-39. This is because they are less likely to use condom and ask for safer sex (risky sexual behaviours).

16. Conclusion Women are more vulnerable to STI’s compared to men and therefore more attention is needed through; Comprehensive sexuality education, STI’s and HIV pre-and post-test counselling Safer sex and condom use promotion Improve people’s ability to recognize the symptoms of STI’s Interventions targeted at key populations such sex workers and rural residents
