  • * Mean number of clients in the last week as reported by FSWs.

  • Total number of clients' visits to FSWs in the last week obtained by multiplying the mean number of clients in the last week by the Avahan FSW size estimate.

  • Estimate obtained for a 1-week period only under the assumption that clients only visit FSWs once in a given week and by dividing the total number of clients visits to FSWs in the last week by the urban 15–49 male population (except for Belgaum where the population of the whole district was included in the denominator).

  • NA, not available; ND, no study carried out among clients in these districts.
