All women aged 15-49 who usually live in selected households, or present night before the survey, were eligible to be investigated. In addition, in a sub-sample of households a sample of approximately 7,500 men aged 15-59 were also surveyed. In this subsample, all eligible women and men for the individual survey were also eligible for the HIV test.

It is a well-known practice in all DHS surveys which includes a HIV module and a male survey, the module will be restricted to the sub-sample of households selected for male survey, so was the Cameroon DHS 2011. Though it might not be mentioned explicitly in the text of the chapter, the questionnaire indicated clearly that the HIV knowledge and HIV testing are restricted to the households selected for male survey (See page 518 of the report). So the 7457 women in table 14.11.1 were from the households selected for male survey.
