1Characteristics considered were: age, education, food security, wanting child in next year, primary sexual partner, age difference with partner >5 years, partnership duration, sex with primary partner in prior 30 days, sex with anyone else, risk taking, perception of participant’s own HIV risk, whether participant had heard of PrEP prior to the survey, how they had heard of PrEP, and whether the participant liked the video.
2Multivariate logistic regression models were adjusted for variables shown in the table as well as food security (p=0.13 and 0.19, in univariate and multivariate models, respectively) and risk taking (p=0.20 and 0.12).
