aPRs were estimated using Poisson regression models with robust variance estimation.
bFor each STI outcome variable, a separate multivariable regression model was used that adjusted for age, race and ethnicity, and geographic region.
cOther includes transfeminine/trans femme, woman of trans experience, person of trans experience, 2-spirit, other identity, and prefer not to answer.
