Only capital/main cities	16	1988	-0.462	-0.462 –-0.462	0.07177	0.09442
Main and major cities	21	1988	-0.584	-0.591 –-0.584	0.00540	0.00713

Shown the Spearman rho correlation between HIV-2 prevalence in 1985–91 and estimated MC rate at various times, for different subsets of cities. The cities included in each subset are referred to in S1 Computer Code. Shown the IQRs of correlations, median and maximum p-values from 1,000 tests with re-sampled parameters.
