The size of the HRG is defined as the percentage of women (15–49 years old) who have had three or more lifetime sex partners. Data used to construct the map are from the 7396 women who participated in the 2010 MDHS and were tested for HIV. d Map showing, for men, geographic variation in the size of the HRG. The size of the HRG is defined as the percentage of men (15–49 years old) who have had four or more lifetime sex partners.
