Depression, alcohol use, and intimate partner violence among outpatients in rural Uganda: vulnerabilities for HIV, STIs and high risk sexual behavior

Table 6 Tests of interactions between syndemic conditions on high risk sex and testing positive for HIV or an STI

	High risk sex acts AOR, 95% CI, p	Tested positive for HIV or STI AOR, 95% CI, p
Males (N = 160)
Depression x emotional IPV	13.15 (1.77–97.61), p = 0.01	2.25 (0.19–26.20), p = 0.52
Depression x alcohol	^a	18.09 (1.10–298.96) p = 0.04
Alcohol x emotional IPV	1.67 (0.92–3.02), p = 0.09	1.52 (0.14–16.81), p = 0.73
Depression x physical IPV	0.36 (0.04–3.01), p = 0.35	2.99 (0.07–121.24), p = 0.56
Alcohol x physical IPV	^a	0.97 (0.03–29.43), p = 0.97
Females (N = 165)
Depression x emotional IPV	2.50 (1.52–4.00), p < 0.001	1.20 (0.20–7.15), p = 0.85
Depression x physical IPV	1.44 (0.87–2.38), p = 0.16	1.04 (0.14–7.94), p = 0.97

Note: AOR = Odds Ratio; 95% CI = 95% Confidence interval. Models adjusted for sociodemographic covariates
^a model cannot run due to low variability in the outcome due to small cell sizes. Interactions were tested as part of the full multivariate models reported in Tables 2 and 3 but only the interactions are reported in this table
