Patterns of Sexual Behaviors and Sexual Partner Characteristics as Predictors of Perceived HIV Risk and HIV Status Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Kenya.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Kenya remain at disproportionate risk of HIV acquisition. While individual risk factors are well-documented, fewer studies examine how these factors co-occur in distinct profiles or how such profiles relate to perceived HIV risk and HIV status. We analyzed data from 2,810 AGYW (aged 15-24) reporting ≥ 1 male sex partner in the prior 12 months in the 2018 Kenya Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (KENPHIA). Latent class analysis identified patterns of condom use, transactional sex, alcohol use, partner type, age disparity, and partner HIV status. Associations between class membership, perceived HIV risk, and HIV status were estimated. Three classes emerged: Married without Condoms (55%) was characterized by low condom and alcohol use and cohabitating partners; Dating with Condoms (42%) featured higher condom use, moderate transactional sex, low alcohol use, and similarly aged, non-cohabiting partners; and Older Husband (4%) was defined by higher alcohol use and older cohabitating partners of positive or unknown HIV status. Members of the Older Husband class had much higher odds of HIV positivity compared to the Married without Condoms class (aOR = 83.33, 95% CI 21.74-333.33) and the Dating with Condoms class (aOR = 54.36, 95% CI 18.51-159.58). Despite similarly low HIV prevalence (1%) in the Married without Condoms and Dating with Condoms classes, the latter perceived higher HIV risk. Distinct profiles exist among Kenyan AGYW. Tailored prevention is needed, especially for AGYW with older partners of unknown status, alongside efforts to improve risk recognition across profiles.
