Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Kerry MacQuarrie:

The value held in v766a (mv766a in the men's data) refers to number of sexual partners excluding spouses/live-in partners (which is the way DHS measures marriage). Boyfriends/girlfriends are excluded unless the respondent is living with them as if married.

Use v766b/mv766b if you want the number of sexual partners INCLUDING spouses/partners in the last 12 months. Variables v767a, v767b, v767c (and mv767a-c) provide data one the relationship to the sexual partner in the last 12 months.
