Proportion of current FSWn in Zimbabwe

[ValentinaCambiano]

Using the core program 27/09/2023 with parameter Zim_parameters_08a (so core sexual behaviour) and Zimbabwe abort statement, we are finding that the median % of current fsw is 1.7%. This is similar to what we have in core.

Based on SAPPHIRE data and conversations with the CESHHAR team, we would like this % to be lower (1.2%?)@Loveleen, could you please check? For this reason we have now added the parameter base_rate_sw in the file Zim_parameters_08b.

In core (20230931): %sample(base_rate_sw, 0.0015 0.0020 0.0025, 0.2 0.6 0.2); In Zim_parameters_08b: %sample(base_rate_sw, 0.0015 0.0020 , 0.3 0.7);

We are going to check whether this solves the issue

Thanks @ValentinaCambiano Yes the figure we have for Zimbabwe from an estimate from Liz Fearon is 1.2%
