^a Reported χ² and p-value for difference in total proportions refugees vs. nationals.

^b A non-regular partner is defined as any sexual partner different from the one the respondent lives with or is married to and from whom the respondent does not receive or give money, gifts, or favors.

^c A transactional partner is defined as a sexual partner with whom the respondent exchanged sex for money, gifts, or favors.

^d High risk sex is defined as sex with a non-regular or transactional sex partner.

^e Respondents have comprehensive and correct knowledge of HIV if they correctly identified two major ways of preventing HIV sexual transmission (using condoms and limiting sex to one faithful, uninfected partner), and if they rejected two common misconceptions (mosquitoes transmit HIV, sharing food with an infected person transmits HIV), and if they knew that a healthy-looking person can transmit HIV.

^f Respondents have accepting attitudes if they reported to be willing to care for a family member sick with AIDS in their own household, and would buy vegetables from a shopkeeper with AIDS, and feel a teacher with HIV should be allowed to continue working, and do not feel that it should be kept a secret if a family member has HIV.
