 Proportion of men reporting new sexual partner(s) while overseas in the past 5 years by selected sociodemographics and sexual and health behaviours

Row % (95% CI)Crude OR (95% CI)Adjusted OR (95% CI)Denominator*
OR, odds ratio (adjusted OR, OR after adjustment for all sociodemographic factors); STI, sexually transmitted infection.
Natsal 2000 used the following definition of a “sexual partner” “people who have had sex together—whether just once, or a few times, or as regular partners, or as married partners,” and “sex” was defined as “this includes vaginal, oral and anal sexual intercourse”. Respondents read these terms and definitions at the start of the CASI.
*Weighted, unweighted denominator defined as men resident in Britain for at least 5 years who reported sexual partner(s) in the past 5years.
