Multivariable logistic regression analysis of internalized and alter HIV stigma measures as predictors of condomless intercourse with negative and unknown HIV status partners
| Independent variables (predictors) | Engagement in condomless intercourse
|
|
|---|---|---|
| OR (95 % CI) | Standardized beta | |
| Internalized HIV stigma | 1.6 (1.1, 2.4)* | 0.30 |
| Any alter agrees with stigma belief | 1.0 (0.3, 3.2) | −0.01 |
| Network density | 0.9 (0.9, 1.0)a | −0.57 |
| Density × any alter agrees with stigma belief | 1.1 (1.0, 1.3)* | 0.42 |
| Age | 1.0 (1.0, 1.1) | 0.00 |
| No high school degree | 0.3 (0.1, 1.2) | −0.26 |

Due to the presence of the interaction in the model, this odds ratio represents the effects of network density among participants who did not report any alters agreeing with stigma beliefs. Among participants who did report alters agreeing with stigma beliefs, the odds ratio (95 % CI) of network density is 1.05 (0.97, 1.13); p = .25. The two odds ratios are statistically different per the interaction
