*
Denominators vary due to missing data in the patient medical record for each characteristic (missing values deleted from analysis)
**
Each subcategory (i.e., heterosexual and MSM) includes the subset of male patients who were reported as bisexual (n = 45 of 152 heterosexual males), and therefore, the sum of the numerators of both subcategories is greater than the denominator
