a

Defined by information from the physician callers; 80 is the number of clinics that offered services to the physician callers.

b

Four clinics did not respond to this question: “If yes to services, do you still see couples if the reason for seeking services is for prevention of an infection in the female partner, for infertility, or both.”

c

If respondents answered “both” to the question in regard to the purpose of services offered, we asked whether they also give their patients PrEP (“If yes to ‘both prevention and infertility,’ do you give them PrEP?”).
