ART-related risk compensation and a belief that ART cures HIV were associated with an increased HIV seroprevalence among men but not women.
Two items ("ART cures HIV/AIDS" and "ART increases one's sexual drive") did not load strongly (<0.40) on either factor.

Because it was not easily summarized by either of the factors, we included the belief that "ART cures HIV/AIDS" as a single item predictor in subsequent analyses.
ART-related risk compensation (Adjusted (A OR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.16 1.81), and a belief that ART cures HIV (AOR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.22 3.76) were associated with an increased HIV seroprevalence in men but not women after controlling for age.
Finally, a belief that ART cures HIV/AIDS was associated with increased HIV-seroprevalence among men (AOR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.22 3.76) but not women (AOR = 1.43, 95% CI.93 2.21) after controlling for age.
