aSimple logistic regression model. bMultivariable logistic regression model. SSS-S: Self-Stigma Scale–Short Form; MSM: men who have sex with men; CBO: community-based organization; COR: crude odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; AOR = adjusted odds ratio, odds ratio adjusted by significant background variables (educational level and marital status).
