Risk factors for incident anal gonorrhoea in the Health In Men Study (for those who reported casual partners)
| Incidence(/100 person-years) | Univariate | Multivariate | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR (95% CI) | p Value | HR (95% CI) | p Value | ||
| NA, not applicable; UAI, unprotected anal intercourse. | |||||
| Only those risk variables that were significant multivariate predictors and those sexual behaviours that could have led to exposure of the anorectum to infection (UAI, receptive fingering, fisting, rimming and use of dildos) are reported in this table. | |||||
| *Attained age at each interview. | |||||
| †p for trend. | |||||
| ‡p for homogeneity. | |||||
