- *These calculations carried out by NACO.
- †HIV prevalence from the sentinel surveillance of 2005 in Andhra Pradesh applied as follows [2,6]: median HIV prevalence of 2% from 23 antenatal sentinel surveillance clinics at medical colleges or district headquarter hospitals (sample 400 at each clinic, range of HIV prevalence 0.25–3.5%) applied to urban and rural women 15–49 years old, and 20% higher prevalence than this applied to urban and rural men; median HIV prevalence of 22.8% from 11 STI sentinel surveillance clinics mostly at medical colleges or district headquarter hospitals (sample 250 at 10 clinics and 219 at one clinic, range of HIV prevalence 4–32.4%) applied to urban and rural men assumed to get STI annually, and 83.3% of this prevalence applied to urban and rural women assumed to get STI annually; median HIV prevalence of 12.8% from seven sentinel surveillance sites for female sex workers (sample 250 each, range of HIV prevalence 5.2–26.8%); HIV prevalence of 6.45% from one sentinel surveillance site for men who have sex with men (sample 217); the total HIV prevalence of 3.35% in people 15–49 years of age calculated by dividing the total number calculated to have HIV by the total population in this age group.
- ‡Excludes men and women shown separately in other categories below.
- §In this method, 6% urban men and women and 6.3% rural men and women were assumed to get STI annually; this portion was assumed to cover high-risk groups in the population, excluding female sex workers and men who have sex with men, shown separately [3,6].
- ¶0.55% of urban and rural women 15–49 years of age, comprising that portion of female sex workers not expected to be covered in the STI component of the calculations [6].
- **Number of men who have sex with men estimated in Andhra Pradesh who were not expected to be covered in the STI component of the calculations.
