  • *Adjusted for sex, condom proportion at baseline, relationship status at baseline and previous experience of STI.

  • †Complete case, that is, participants that answered all follow-up questionnaires.

  • ‡Best case scenario imputed for missing values, that is, 0 partners, no tested positive for STI, no did not experience pregnancy and no did not test for STI.

  • §Worst case scenario imputed for missing values, that is, 10 or more partners, yes tested positive for STI, yes experienced pregnancy and yes tested for STI during study period.
