Female partner HIV status | Newman’s r estimate (SE) (95% CI)† | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Male index HIV status | Negative | Positive | Total | Naive | WCR |
Negative | 513 (86%) | 27 (5%) | 540 | 0.465 (0.062) | 0.539 (0.068) |
Positive | 26 (4%) | 28 (5%) | 54 | (0.342 to 0.587) | (0.407 to 0.671) |
Total | 539 | 55 | 594 |
Male index participants (n=253) in the Ho Chi Minh City Sex Network study (2009) provided data on their HIV status as well as the HIV status of up to five of their recent sexual partners (n=594). Male indexes’ HIV status was obtained via a combination of biological testing and self-report; partner HIV status was self-reported by male index participants.
Newman’s r is equivalent to the standard unweighted kappa statistic.
