Of the 40 index participants, 57.5% were older than 35 years, 22.5% had any secondary education, 87.5% reported that they had a main sexual partner, 92.5% had children, and 7.5% were HIV-positive. There were no significant differences between the index participants randomized to the intervention and those that were randomized to the control arm. Among the 103 alter participants, 37.9% were older than 35 years of age, 29.1% had any secondary education, 81.6% reported that they had a main sexual partner, 95.1% had children, and 5.8% were HIV-positive. Compared to alters of index participants in the control arm, alters of index participants in the intervention arm were significantly more likely to have any secondary education (39.7% vs. 15.6%; p = 0.01) and to report that they had a main sex partner (89.7% vs. 71.1%; p = 0.02).
