Association between outcomes (condom use and STIs, including HIV) and rounds of IBBA, Maharashtra, India a, b

Variables Odds ratio (95% CI) Odds ratio (95% CI)
Unadjusted models Adjusted modelsc
A. Condom use
Condom use during the last sex act With regular male partner 1.93 (1.48 – 2.53)** 5.15 (2.68 – 9.90)**
With paying male partner 13.77 (2.94 – 64.59)** 13.23 (2.84 – 61.92)**
With paid male/hijra partner 0.24 (0.08 – 0.73)* 0.91 (0.27 – 3.10)
With other non-commercial male/hijra partner 0.88 (3.16 – 6.74) 0.71 (0.27 – 1.85)
Consistent condom use With regular male partner(s) 1.07 (0.83 – 1.38) 1.90 (1.01 – 3.58)*
With paid male/hijra partner(s) 0.26 (0.06 – 1.10) 0.57 (0.16 – 2.08)
With other non-commercial male/hijra partner(s) 1.45 (0.64 – 3.31) 1.71 (0.82 – 3.58)
B. Sexually transmitted infections (including HIV)
Type of infections Reactive Syphilis Serology† 0.12 (0.05 – 0.25)** 0.11 (0.05 – 0.22)**
Syphilis titre > 1:8 †† 0.06 (0.02 – 0.19)** 0.08 (0.03 – 0.27)**
Chlamydia infection 0.04 (0.02 – 0.07)** 0.35 (0.05 – 2.41)
Neisseria gonorrhoea infection 0.003 (0.001 – 0.010) --
HIV 1 infection 0.48 (0.17 – 1.34) 0.39 (0.17 – 0.87)*

a = The estimates shown here are weighted estimates.

b = The reference for each of the estimate is Round 1 of the IBBA. Thus, for consistent condom use with a regular male partner, the interpretation will be as follows: subjects in Round 2 of IBBA were significantly more likely to report consistent condom use with a regular male partner, compared with those in Round 1 of IBBA (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.01 – 3.58).

c = The models were adjusted for district of interview, self-reported sexual identity, current age, literacy, place of residence, sex outside place of residence, and main source of income.

*p = 0.05, ** p < 0.01.

 = Any person reactive on RPR and TPHA.

†† = The titre obtained on RPR was used to measure this variable.
