The reference group for each variable is a follows: age (<25 years); education (less than high school); employment status (unemployed); relationship status (unstable— single/separated/divorced/widowed); HIV awareness (no/don’t know anyone); HIV education (no previous formal HIV education); perceived HIV risk (no risk); and HIV testing (no previous HIV test).
