Exponentiated coefficients describe the change in the outcome variable associated with receiving VCT, stratified by sex and HIV status

Results are adjusted for age, calendar year and marital status, see “Methods” for details

Exp(Coef.): Exponentiated coefficient. A value of 1 indicates no change

SE: Standard error

P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01

aThose who had tested within the year before the survey were categorized as not tested when defining the indicator for having received VCT

bModelled as a binary variable
