Notes

1 GEE with an exchangeable covariance structure and robust standard errors adjusted for a priori confounders (strata, marital status and education).

2 The reference group is the control arm.

3 Cut-off set at the median number of “correct” responses.

4 The reference category includes not reporting the characteristics and does not exclude those who have never had sex.
