Note. CI = confidence interval; MSM = men who have sex with men; MSMW = men who have sex with men and women; MSW = men who have sex with women. We performed structural equation modeling in Mplus with a model that accounted for the complex sampling design. Unless otherwise indicated, parameter estimates are significant at P < .05. The 11 jurisdictions were Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; Delaware; Maine; Massachusetts; New York City, NY; San Diego, CA; Vermont; Rhode Island; Wisconsin; and Milwaukee, WI.
