  1. P-value was 0.03 for the comparison of the proportions of HIV diagnoses between seeds’ networks; P-value was 0.02 for the comparison of the proportions of recents among HIV-positives between seeds’ networks. The term network here refers to participants’ risk or social contacts who were eventually recruited and not to the entire sociometric network.
