Notes: Neither participant nor partner on PrEP category is shown because of redundancy with Table 2. Values with 0.00 are non-zero, rounded numbers.

*

p < 0.05;

**

p < 0.01;

***

p < 0.001.

+

RRR = relative risk ratio; this is the multinomial logistic regression coefficient exponentiated (i.e., eb).

++

NR = not reported due to large values.

--

Values are not reported because of concern of a spurious finding since zero individuals fall within this category (i.e., RRR = 3.46***, 2.16–5.56 95% CI).

Sexually transmitted infection diagnoses included chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
