    The document discusses data management and analysis for a study on HIV and HSV-2 prevalence. It describes computing frequencies for demographic variables, HIV/HSV-2 status, and conducting bivariate analyses to assess associations with HIV status. Variables like age, number of lifetime/recent partners, were treated as continuous or categorized. Multivariate logistic regression was run separately for men and women to identify factors associated with HIV status.

    Data management and analysis

    In order to describe our screener characteristics, we decided to compute the frequencies for the

    demographic variables, circumcision for men, as well as test status for women. In order to make

    our research more reliable, credible and efficient we also decided to calculate the prevalence of

    HIV as well as the HSV-2. We carried out bivariate analyses in order to assess the association

    between the status of HIV and the independent variables. Along the data analysis, we decided to

    treat age as a continuous variable. In addition, we decided to categorize the number of lifetime

    partners and the number of vaginal sexual partners in the past 4 months due to the highly skewed

    distribution.

    All the participants who were reported to be sexually active in the past 4 months in the screening

    computer-assisted personal interview. However, some of the participants indicated that they had

    no sexual partners or else they decided to refuse to provide a response in the screening.

    Furthermore, in questionnaires, sexual intercourse was defined as vaginal sex. Gender-specific

    variables like pregnancy status as well as hormonal contraceptive use for women, use of

    condoms for males and females the status of circumcision for men, were also included in the data

    analysis.

    Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression model was run separately for both men and women

    in order to allow for the different variables in the finalizing model which included variables that

    had a p-value <0.25 in the bivariate analyses. In addition, adjusted odds ratios and 95%

    confidence intervals were also incorporated in the calculations.
