Note. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; MSM = men who have sex with men exclusively; MSMW = men who have sex with both men and women; STI = sexually transmitted infection. Regression analyses included only respondents who could be classified into 1 of the 4 sexual orientation groups considered.
