We sought to describe the sexual behaviours of street-connected children and youth in order to comprehend their sexual practices and elucidate circumstances that put them at increased risk of contracting HIV utilizing qualitative methods from a sample of street-connected children and youth in Eldoret, Kenya. Participants identified both acceptable and unacceptable sexual acts that occur on the streets between males and females, between males, and between females.

Transactional sex and multiple concurrent partnerships were frequently described by participants. Rape was endemic to street life for girls.
