CI, confidence interval; MSM, men who have sex with men; MSW, men who have sex with women; PR, prevalence ratio; WSM, women who have sex with men.

aNote: viral suppression is defined as all viral load measurements in the 12 months before interview undetectable or <200 copies/ml.

bExcludes persons who reported no sexual behaviour and did not report their sexual orientation as heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. Includes transgender participants (n = 64) and women who have sex with women (n = 26) because sample sizes were too small to provide valid estimates for separate analysis.
