Abstract

This national survey demonstrates age-disparate (≥5 years; AD-5) sexual partnerships remain common among males and females aged 20 to 29 years in the United States (2005-2016). Females reported more older AD-5 partners, and males reported more younger AD-5 partners. Having AD-5 partners was associated with greater lifetime and recent number of sexual partners.
