Table 1.

A multilevel model treating “unprotected anal or vaginal sex acts” as a Poisson outcome. Variables listed at Level 2 are cross-level moderators of the effects of Level 1 variables on the outcome. Mean NA, at Level 3, controls for individual differences in the average self-reported intensity of NA across days
