Abstract:
“Sugar daddy” relationships are marked by large age and economic disparities between partners and are believed to be a major factor in the spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. In order to determine how common such relations are, and whether or not they are linked to unsafe sexual behaviour, more information is needed about sugar daddy partnerships on age in particular and on economic differences in general. To this end, a survey was carried out in Kisumu, Kenya, in 2001. This article discusses the main results of this survey.
