Type
Summary

A random sample of 10,250 Active Duty U.S. Military personnel who were single and sexually active were used to identify risk factors for self-reported sexually transmitted infection (STI) within the past 12 months. Results indicate that factors associated with reports of increased sexual partnership and reports of an STI differed by gender.
