Interviewer instructions
Again, we are looking for the age of the person she had sexual intercourse with at the time of the sexual encounter.

Record the age in the space provided. If she does not know, ask her to estimate the age of this person. If the respondent is unable to estimate the sexual partner's age, probe by asking “About how old is this person?”. If she still says she does not know, circle '98' and continue to the next question.
