RRR; relative risk ratio, RRR adjusted for sex, age, education level, marital status, religion, monthly income, HIV status, sexual orientation, age of first sexual intercourse, history of sexual transmitted disease and recruiting hospital, RRR are from Multinomial logistic regression model, *Regression coefficient are from linear regression, ¶height was used as continuous dependent variable so there were group comparison (No results to report)
