a
Seven men were excluded from the model due to missing data on the number of sexual partners in the past 2 months.
b
Adjusted for all other characteristics shown in the table (the other BVAB, CT, MG, UU, HI, and >1 sex partners in the past two months).
c
Restricting to men negative for CT, MG, UU, and TV. Only bivariate odds ratios are shown as the number of men with each bacterium was small and resulted in unstable multivariable models
Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval, NGU = nongonococcal urethritis, OR = odds ratio; aOR=adjusted OR
