*based on likelihood ratio test.
Descriptive statistics and mutually adjusted multinomial, multivariable regression model. Model adjusted for all variables presented in the table. Always/almost always condom use is reference group. Odds ratios show excess risk of using condoms often/sometimes or seldom/never instead of always/almost always, compared to the reference level of each exposure.
