2Demoninator is all FSW
3Among those who reported a previous positive test result (n = 123)
4Among those who self-reported ART use (n = 86), viral load suppression defined as <1000 copies/ml, 34 FSW were excluded due to missing viral load data
5Note that only HIV positive FSW were tested for viral load and 1152 (77%) are not included
