The analytical subsamples consist of men who have sex with men (MSM), including male sex workers (MSW). MSM defined as a man who has had sex with another man with anal penetration within the last year. The conditional incentive offers were random offers for α1 and α3. The incentive offers for α2, and α 4 were follow-up questions: a bargaining experimental game to increase participation and/or reduce program costs by increasing the incentive offer (for those who initially said “no”) or to lower the incentive offer (for those who initially said “yes”). Conditional incentive offer amounts are expressed in US dollars (USD) of 2008. Data collection activities took place during October 1-December 15, 2008 in Mexico City; the average exchange rate was 12.97 pesos per USD [29]
Sample population at the highest risk was defined as male sex workers or those with 5 or more sexual partners per month.
Participants who declared to currently having been infected with HIV or with other sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Low-wealth sample were participants with a wealth index below the 25 percentile of the distribution; the wealth index was constructed using data on availability of: vehicle, own house, more than five rooms in the house, laptop and desktop computers, cable television, Internet access, and household help.
Appropriate condom use during the last sex act was defined as when respondent used a condom when he had a penetrative role only, or when partner used it when respondent had a receptive role only, or when both used it regardless of sexual roles.
Correct knowledge (yes/no) was based on a battery of questions about HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
