FTFI, face to face interview; HRG, high-risk group; PBS, polling booth survey. Indirect client estimate was based on reported client volume by rural and urban female sex workers. Redistribution in incident infections is driven predominantly by the estimate of the client population (3.0 to 16.8%) and multiple partnerships (3.1 and 0.8% among males and females respectively using state-level estimates and 9.9 and 1.5% among males and females respectively using PBS estimates). Increasing the population size of each of these risk groups resulted in a predominance of infections among direct partners of clients and persons engaged in multiple partnerships.
