  • †Excludes seven HIV-negative men with missing data on date of last HIV test.

  • ‡Behavioural category p value compares the frequency of behaviour categories (ie, conventional risk reduction behaviours vs seroadaptive behaviours vs no strategy) rather than specific strategies).

  • UAI, unprotected anal intercourse.
