aSecondary outcome.
bSTI (blood screen) = HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis.
cSTI (non-blood screen) = chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis.
dAny STI = HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis.
Notes: A positive—clinically significant—CAGE score was defined as ≥2, and a score <2 was defined as negative. Each individual infection for patients with multiple infections is counted, but each patient is only counted once for STI (blood screen), STI (non-blood screen), and Any STI.
HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; STI, sexually transmitted infection.
