Note. CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio. Reference categories for the individual-level dummy variables are gay or bisexual male, non-Hispanic White, no high-school diploma, CD4 cell count less than 200/mm3, and aged less than 35 years. Longer sales hours reflect number of hours per day alcohol is sold on weekdays. Drinking analyses use data drawn from participants in the HIV Cost and Services Utilization Study, August 1997–January 1998. Sexual behavior analyses use data drawn from the Risk and Prevention Study, September 1998–December 1998.
Defined as drinking on each of the past 28 days.
Defined as drinking 5 or more drinks on 1 or more days in the past month.
Defined as any anal or vaginal sex without a condom and with a partner of negative or unknown serostatus.
