| Outcome RR (95% CI) |
Sexual orientation identity | Sex of sexual partners in past year | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| ||||
| Bisexual (reference) |
Lesbian | Male and female (reference) |
Only female | |
| Ever pregnant | 1.00 | 0.64 (0.48, 0.85) | 1.00 | 0.58 (0.43, 0.78) |
| Currently using hormonal contraception | 1.00 | 0.33 (0.09, 1.31) | 1.00 | 1.03 (0.29, 3.63) |
| Ever received HIV test | 1.00 | 0.88 (0.80, 0.96) | 1.00 | 0.87 (0.79, 0.96) |
| Pap test use in last 3 years | 1.00 | 0.75 (0.61, 0.91) | 1.00 | 0.82 (0.67, 0.99) |
| Ever received abnormal Pap test result | 1.00 | 0.42 (0.24, 0.75) | 1.00 | 0.55 (0.32, 0.94) |
| Received abnormal Pap test result at time of study visit* |
1.00 | 0.52 (0.21, 1.25) | 1.00 | 0.71 (0.30, 1.73) |

Note. RR: risk ratio; CI: confidence interval. Boldface indicates statistical significance (p<0.05). Women who responded “heterosexual,” “questioning,” or “don’t know” (n=8, 4.9%) to the question on sexual orientation identity were excluded from this analysis. The proportion of missing data was 1.8% (n=3) for Pap test use in the last 3 years, 17.6% (n=29) for ever receiving an abnormal Pap test result, and 13.0% (n=18) for receiving an abnormal Pap test at the time of the study visit (among women aged 21 years and over). Separate models were estimated for each outcome in relation to each dimension of sexual orientation. All models were adjusted for age (modeled as 17-21 years, 22-25 years, 26-30 years, and 31 years and older).
Only applies to women aged 21 years and over.
