Figure 3. Sexual behaviour data from National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) by Indian state.

Indian state-specific data on (A) median age of first sex, (B) proportion of respondents reporting sex with non-regular partners in the last 12 months, (C) proportion of male respondents reporting sex with commercial partners in the last 12 months, and (D) proportion of male respondents by number of commercial partners in the last 12 months. Each violin plot and the associated cloud of circles correspond to a sexual behaviour variable. Each circle corresponds to the data of a state (or group of states). The data were extracted from the 2006 National Behaviour Surveillance Survey of the National AIDS Control Organization of India (National Behavioural Surveillance Survey: General Population, 2006). Blue and red: Indian states identified in the high and low cervical cancer incidence clusters. Grey: states without cervical cancer incidence data and therefore unknown cluster.
