a
Among respondents who had ever engaged in anal intercourse.
b
The categories for current residence were collapsed into “no regular place to stay” and “have a regular place to stay” in order to increase cell sizes in the calculation of the unadjusted odds ratio for variables sex exchange in the last 6 months and HIV status; Fisher exact test of significance was used for analyses of these variables.
