Data are presented as n (%) where n is the number of men in each category. The proportion of MSMO and MSMW was calculated using the total number of men each year as the denominator. The proportion of MSMW-W, MSMW-M and MSMW(=) was calculated using the total number of MSMW each year as the denominator.

MSMW(=), men who have sex with men and women but reported an equal number of male and female partners in the past 12 months; MSMW-M, men who have sex with men and women and had more male than female sexual partners in the past 12 months; MSMW-W, men who have sex with men and women and had more female than male sexual partners in the past 12 months.
