Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; cPN = contract partner notification; PD = prevalence differences; pPN = passive partner notification

*

P-value <0.15 for likelihood ratio tests from binomial models assessing whether each exposure-outcome relationship varied by referring participant characteristic.

Not married includes never married, separated, divorced, or widowed.

Recent = previous 4 weeks; Yes = ≥2 sexual partners; No = 0–1 sexual partners; eligibility criteria included having had any sexual activity within the previous 6 months.
