Male indexes’ HIV status cross-classified by female partners’ HIV status*

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.
