Note. AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. Logistic regressions were conducted in which gay or bisexual men and lesbian or bisexual women were compared with heterosexuals (the reference category); analyses were stratified by gender. Analyses took into account sample weights and the complex sample design.

a

Weighted values taking into account the complex sample design and nonresponse.

b

Adjusted for age, education, income, nation of birth, and, among men, HIV status.

c

According to the classification in Phelan et al.3
