Only statistically significant covariates (P < 0.05) in the overall models are presented in the table above. All four models adjusted for gender, age, employment, treatment, alcohol use, STI symptoms, marital status, and time in care. Model I was also adjusted for >2 coital acts, unprotected sex, and >1 sex partner. Model II also adjusted for unprotected sex and >1 sex partner. Model III also adjusted for >2 coital acts and >1 sex partner. Model IV also adjusted for >2 coital acts and unprotected sex
