There are no confidence intervals for rate ratios for MSM race/ethnicity or age because the proportion of men in each subgroup does not change as the proportion of MSM in the population changes.
There are no confidence intervals for women because the rate calculation uses U.S. census count, not an estimated number as with MSM and other men.
Sex of sex partner data were available for 8,900 (86.5%) of 10,289 men in these 39 states during 2008.
