Notes:* an ever-treated net is a pretreated net or a non-pretreated net that has subsequently been treated with insecticide at any time;**<br />

comprehensive knowledge means knowing that consistent use of condoms during sexual intercourse and having just one uninfected faithful partner<br />

canreduce the chance of getting the HIV virus, knowing that a healthy-looking person can have the HIV virus, and rejecting the two most common local<br />

misconceptions about HIV transmission or prevention.<br />
