*

Expected incidence divided by observed incidence. The observed annual incidence is the actual rate observed in the Public Health—Seattle & King County repeat testers and the control arm of Project Explore. The expected rate is the average of the risk predicted by the full and simple MSM HIV acquisition prediction models.
