Abbreviations: RAI=receptive anal intercourse; MSM=men who have sex with men; OR=odds ratio; AOR=adjusted odds ratio; CI=confidence interval; P1=last sexual partner; P2=second to last sexual; P3=third to last sexual partner.

*

p-value < 0.05

a

Adjusted for visit, age, race/ethnicity, education, sexual identity, homelessness, partner type, age mixing, partnership serostatus, substance use (methamphetamine, volatile nitrites, cocaine and Viagra), lubricant use, and ejaculation.

b

Model 1 - no interactions.

c

Model 2 - interaction between partner type and methamphetamine use at last sexual event with partner (interaction: F statistic = 3.46; p-value = 0.06).

d

Model 3 - interaction between lubricant use during RAI and methamphetamine use at last sexual event with partner (interaction: F statistic = 4.08; p-value = 0.04).

e

Highly correlated with homelessness, thus not included in multivariate models.

f

Measured at the last sexual event within reported partnerships.

g

HIV-positive and HIV status unknown partners defined as serodiscordant.

h

Participant believes partner had partners concurrent to their partnership.

i

The participant ever gave his partner drugs, money, or other goods in exchange for sex or the partner ever gave the participant drugs, money, or other goods in exchange for sex.

j

Participant or their partner's home.

k

Highly correlated with partner type, therefore the adjusted odds ratio is not adjusted for partner type.
