  1. P-values are reported in parenthesis; They are testing variables’ contribution to gender inequality in HIV/AIDS in each country
  2. aDomestic category not collected
  3. bOccupation type variable not collected
  4. cUnemployed category not collected
  5. dTrade and domestic category not collected
  6. eThe overall absolute contribution of a given variable is equal to the sum of absolute contribution of its categories; the absolute contribution of socio-demographic characteristics, sexual behaviours, and awareness of HIV/AIDS is determined by summing the absolute contributions of all variables included in each category. The absolute contribution of a given variable to a given component was calculated as follow: the absolute difference of HIV/AIDS prevalence between women and men explained by this component multiplied by the relative contribution (in percentage) of this variable to this absolute difference in HIV/AIDS prevalence
  7. fSexual behavioural factors are not highly correlated
  8. gSeveral values of dichotomous variables for the “difference due to distribution” component became identical after rounding the estimated values
  9. hRepresent the contribution to gender inequalities in HIV/AIDS prevalence due to gender differences in the distributions of observable HIV/AIDS risk factors between women and men
  10. iReflect the contribution to gender inequalities in HIV/AIDS due to gender differences in the effects of measured HIV/AIDS risk factors, as well as unmeasured factors not included in the model
