Note. MSW = men who have sex with women exclusively; MSMW = men who have sex with both men and women; MSM = men who have sex with men exclusively; STI = sexually transmitted infection. The first column presents percentages estimated for all survey respondents, including 6 participants who were classified as “other” sexual orientation (i.e., could not be classified as heterosexually identified MSW, heterosexually identified MSMW, bisexually identified MSMW, or gay-identified MSM). Thus, total numbers in the first column do not equal the sum of the numbers in the 4 subsequent columns.
Probability values on the basis of bivariate likelihood ratio tests on differences in percentages observed by sexual orientation.
Among subsamples who reported having ever been tested for HIV.
Among subsamples who reported having ever been tested for STIs.
