aThe cluster numbers correspond to the numbers indicated in Figure 2 and 3.
bThe relative risk and confidence intervals for being HIV-positive (A) or medically circumcised (B) were calculated as the number of participants who were HIV-positive and were medically circumcised, respectively, within the cluster compared to the number not in the cluster (the reference category) adjusted for age delineated into 5-year age groups using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method [29]. Note that the provided HIV prevalence and VMMC uptake statistics are not adjusted for age whilst the relative risks are.
cLikelihood ratio test statistics are calculated and p-values are obtained through Monte Carlo hypothesis testing with 9999 iterations.
dAreas of higher and lower than expected numbers of HIV-positive individuals.
eAreas of higher and lower than expected numbers of medically circumcised males aged 15–29.
aRR, relative risk adjusted for age; CI, confidence interval.
