Condom use was highest (72%) among women whose most recent partner was a casual or occasional partner, followed by women with a regular partner (59%) and women with a cohabiting regular partner (40%). One-third of the women (34%) used condoms as a sole method, and 14% used oral contraceptives together with a condom. Few women used implants or intrauterine devices (8%) and, among them, very few women also used condoms (&amp;lt;1%). Among the women who used a condom at their last vaginal intercourse, 49% reported both the correct use for STI prevention and consistent condom use during the previous 6\u00a0months. Among women using condoms, correct and consistent use was also highest among women whose most recent partner was a casual or occasional partner (76%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
