Note: Figures in parentheses represent 95% confidence bounds (95% confidence interval for mean across setting scenarios for HIV Synthesis). Ranges for the Contact Model are across 6 countries. Different models were applied to different countries as specified in methods section. The rate of mortality is the unweighted averaged across the countries for which the analysis was conducted.
