Note. N = 194. Values of 0.000 are less than 0.0005. AR Stigma = AIDS-related stigma. Prior Contact = prior contact with gay men and lesbians. Results of Model 2, which included all possible interaction terms involving the covariate attitudes toward lesbians, were omitted because attitudes toward lesbians was not a significant moderator. Whites were coded as the reference group for race. No, as opposed to yes, for prior contact with gay men and lesbians was coded as the reference group for prior contact. Thus, in regards to the present sample, this model refers to White men with no prior contact with gay men or lesbians.
