The Kenya demographic and health survey 2022 shows that the average number of sexual partners are 2:3 among women and 7:4 among men in Kenya.
Background
The primary objective of the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey is to provide up-to-
date estimates of demographic, health, and nutrition indicators to guide the planning,
implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of population and health-related programs at the
national and county levels.
