Table 2:

Model estimates of the fraction (i.e. tPAF) (a,c), and number (b,d) of incident heterosexual HIV infections occurring among non-PWID populations (in thousands) attributable to HSV-2 over 2009-2018 and 2019-2028 by WHO region under the conservative (a-b) and liberal (c-d) scenarios, median (95% uncertainty interval).
