Hi Janet,

Since Botswana has no report i will use a report from data collected in the Lesotho 2014 DHS as an example available at https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR309/FR309.pdf, From this realised that Comprehensive HIV knowledge being defined as on the report on page 193 "composite measure and indicates that an individual knows that both consistent condom use and limiting sexual intercourse to one uninfected partner can prevent HIV, and that a healthy-looking person can have HIV, and rejects the two most common local misconceptions about the transmission of HIV, which in Lesotho are that HIV can be transmitted through mosquitoes and that a person can become infected with HIV by sharing food with a person who has AIDS" so in this case when you assign 1 to correct answer and 0 to incorrect...what is the cut off recommended if you wasn't to assess level of comprehensive knowledge for an individual .
