Hi Joy,

Thanks a lot for your response!

My numbers are different from the ones published as I'm using those reporting sex in the past 12 months as the denominator rather than all who had sex before, and the graph was also produced before applying sampling weights. But, as you say, the large variation across DHS/AIS persists regardless.

One other example I found was in Uganda, also for multiple partners, for females. See figure below. This is particularly odd as the AIS and DHS were completed with only a couple of months in between. For males, the value is nearly exactly the same for both surveys.

Your explanation of response biases is plausible. Unfortunately, we can't know for sure. At least it's reassuring for me that I haven't missed anything!
