Women with male female partners had higher adjusted odds being tested for STIs ([odds ratio:] 1.61; [95% confidence interval:] 1.37-1.89), (1.66; 1.29-2.14), HPV (1.79; 1.41-2.25) similar obtaining (0.98; 0.76-1.27) than only partners. Self-identified bisexual an (1.43; 1.10-1.86) (1.69; 1.24-2.30) but lower 3years (0.66; 0.47-0.93) heterosexual-identified receiving (0.14; 0.07-0.28) (0.10; 0.03-0.27) Results comparing self-identified lesbian heterosexual were similar.
