I. P-value: ‡ = p < 0.05, * = p < 0.01
II. Marital status and religion were not significantly associated with positive attitude to pre- and post-test HIV counselling.
III. The goodness-of-fit test (Omnibus Tests of Model Coefficients) of the final model for pre-test counselling positive attitude was significant [Chi-square statistic (χ²) = 17.219, degrees of freedom (df) = 7, p = 0.016] and the Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was not significant [χ² = 9.620, df = 8, p = 0.293] as indicators of model appropriateness.
