Measures
The principal focus with this analysis would be to explore engagement in CAI measured as insertive/receptive unprotected intercourse that is anal the final half a year. Since we initially expected the вЂrisk’ behaviour for many participating in CAI within the last few six months to vary with regards to the relationship status (constant or casual partner), two separate вЂprimary’ outcomes had been designed for two split analyses. The outcome that is first whether someone had involved with CAI with a number of (yes = 1) or zero (no = 0) steady partners. This included вЂboyfriends’ and вЂhusbands’ (i.e. maybe maybe perhaps not being вЂsingle’) and excluded lovers who had been вЂsex buddies’. The 2nd result suggested whether people had involved in CAI with a number of (yes = 1) or zero (no = 0) casual lovers. Casual lovers had been understood to be: individuals with who one had had intercourse with just once (e.g. a вЂone night stand’); and the ones with whom one had sex with an increase of than when but are not considered a steady partner (such as for instance intercourse buddies). Some individuals classified relationships that are current a mixture of casual and steady partners considering that the 2 categorizations aren’t mutually exclusive.
