Questions and instructions

Pre question

I would like to talk with you about another subject - your sexual life and sexual partners. I know it may be difficult to remember exactly, but I would
like you to answer the questions to the best of your knowledge, as this information is very important for the survey. I would like to assure you that
this information is all completely private and anonymous and cannot be linked to you or any partner in any way.

Literal question

What was the relationship with the person with whom you last had sex?

Interviewer instructions

This question is only asked to respondents of reproductive age who had sex in the last 12 months. This question asks about the respondent's relationship with the last sexual partner. The interviewer should first ask what is the relationship with the partner and allow the respondent to define in his/her own words. If the respondent is unsure, prompt by reading out the categories.
