Included missing values were less than %1 of total. Excludes those with 0 UAI partners at baseline.

IR-IR (Baseline Risk - Remained at Risk), IR-RR (Baseline Risk - Reduced Risk).

Sample sizes vary in the treatment group (baseline risk, reduced risk) due to refusals to answer. Significance for Mann-Whitney = 0.05.

Reflection was assessed with the following question on 5-point Likert scale (strongly disagree to strongly agree) at 3-months: Over the last 3 months, I thought about the ideas contained in Sexpulse (Sexpulse substituted with “the surveys” for Control).

Discourse was assessed with the following question on 5-point Likert scale (strongly disagree to strongly agree) at 3-months: Over the last 3 months, I talked about the ideas in Sexpulse with at least one other person (Sexpulse substituted with “the surveys” for Control).
