Yоu were аsked tо be the cоnsulting epidemiologist for а 5-yeаr cohort study of the potential association between no condom use and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). You enrolled 20,000 participants in your study, among whom 7,500 reported not using condoms (exposed group). Over the course of 5 years, 615 individuals who reported not using condoms and 214 individuals who reported regularly using condoms contracted HIV. a. Create a 2x2 table depicting your study results. HIV (+) HIV (-) Total No condom use (+) A B Condom use (-) C D Total Cell A = [cella] Cell B = [cellb] Cell C = [cellc] Cell D = [celld] Note-If it is appropriate to report an answer value as a percentage and you would like to input your answer in percent format, you must include the % sign, but you do not need to add a comma to numbers larger than three digits (1234)! Please round your answers to the nearest tenth decimal place (i.e, x.x). Lastly, remember to round at the end, not during the calculations The cumulative incidence of HIV among individuals who didn't regularly use condoms was [CIe] percent (Round your answer to the nearest decimal place). The cumulative incidence of HIV among individuals who reported regularly using condoms was [CIu] percent (Round your answer to a single decimal place). Analyses of the association under study indicate that individuals who didn't regularly use condoms were [__1__] times [__2__] more likely to develop [__3__] than individuals who reported having regular condom use. (Round your answer to the nearest decimal place). Almost [__4__] percent of HIV cases were prevented in the study population with regular condom use. PF = [(Ru-Re)/Ru] *100
