SSH were analyzed by the “Geodetector” software with q-value from 0 to 1. If q = 0, the spatial heterogeneity is not significant between strata, or vice versa. In this study, country was a dominant factor contributing to different HIV prevalence among women and men aged 15–49 years. Moreover, the interaction effect of country and year shows higher heterogeneity. However, there is no significant difference between strata factors for HIV prevalence among men 15–49 years [19]
