For men who had a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or symptoms of such an infection in the past 12 months, STIPOTHSEXMN (MV863X) indicates whether the man tried to avoid infecting his partner(s) with the STI in some other sexual way. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample.
The related variable STIPOTHNSEXMN (MV863W) indicates whether the man tried to avoid infecting his partner in some other non-sexual way.
