New paper (Anderson): Predicting High One-Time Partnership Rate Among MSM
paper
New paper led by Emeli Anderson in AIDS and Behavior: Predictive Models to Identify Factors Associated with a High One-Time Sexual Partnership Rate among U.S. Men Who Have Sex with Men. The study fit negative binomial and penalized logistic models to counts of one-time partnerships reported in a web-based egocentric network survey of men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States. Predictors of a high rate were consistent across models: numbers of main and casual partners, exchange sex, use of apps or the internet to meet men, and non-injection drug use. Logistic models treating 6 partners per year as the high-count cut point performed best.
