  1. Values are: Sample sizes (N) and relative sizes in percent (%) of the different categories of variables and, among each of these categories, the number of people and proportion perceiving a risk for HIV infection. Values may not add up to 100% due to rounding. Statistics are based on all observations (multiple observation per participant are treated as independent observations), so sample sizes are higher compared to regression analyses as unit of analysis for regressions was the survey pair. Details on measures are provided in Additional file 1, section 1.
  2. a Sexual risk factors were: Reporting more than one sexual partner in the past 12 months; reporting at least one non-regular sexual partner in the past 3 years; and reporting being in more than one sexual relationship at the moment
