↵*Duration varied for different participants.
↵†Person-time estimated by: (n_FSWs * yrs * retention) − (n_preg * yrs/2); where: n_FSWs, number of FSWs enrolled; yrs, study duration in years; retention, retention rate; n_p reg, number of women who became pregnant. We could not use the approach advocated by Vandenbrou c ke et al 95 as average follow-up time among FSWs was not known.
FSWs, female sex workers; N/A, not measured or reported, data not available from author.
