PGAR: Perceived general absolute risk.

PGRR: Perceived general relative risk.

PRCUS(RP): Perceived risk conditional on unprotected sex with RP; PRCUS(NRP): Perceived risk conditional on unprotected sex with NRP; PRCUS(FSW): Perceived risk conditional on unprotected sex with FSW.

ORu: Univariate odds ratio.

ORadj: Odds ratio adjusted for significant background factor(s).
