This study used nationally representative data from the 2011 to 2013 National Survey of Family Growth to compare sexual behaviors and history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) between male veterans and nonveterans. The sample included 3,860 men aged 18 to 44 years who reported ever having sex with a man or woman. The key independent variable was veteran status. Sexual behavior outcomes included \u22656 lifetime female partners, \u226510 lifetime partners of either sex, \u22652 past-year partners of either sex, having past-year partners of both sexes, and condom nonuse at last vaginal sex. STI outcomes included past-year history of chlamydia, gonorrhea, or receiving any STI treatment; lifetime history of herpes, genital warts, or syphilis; and an aggregate measure capturing any reported STI history. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations between veteran status and each outcome. In models adjusting for age, race\/ethnicity, education, income, and marital status, veterans had significantly greater odds than nonveterans of having \u22656 lifetime female partners ( OR = 1.5, 95% CI [1.02, 2.31]). In models adjusting for age and marital status, veterans had significantly greater odds of having partners of both sexes in the past year ( OR = 4.8, 95% CI [1.2, 19.8]), and gonorrhea in the past year ( OR = 3.2, 95% CI [1.2, 8.5]). Male veterans were thus significantly more likely than nonveterans to have STI risk factors. Health care providers should be aware that male veterans may be at higher risk for STIs and assess veterans\u2019 sexual risk behaviors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1557988317698615","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,22]],"date-time":"2017-03-22T06:34:30Z","timestamp":1490164470000},"page":"791-800","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Sexual Behaviors and Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Male Veterans and Nonveterans"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Mark W.","family":"Evans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sonya","family":"Borrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Internal Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Center for Women\u2019s Health Research and Innovation, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion, VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Yabes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Internal Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Center for Research on Health Care Data Center, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elian A.","family":"Rosenfeld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Women\u2019s Health Research and Innovation, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"},{"name":"Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion, VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1557988317698615","volume-title":"In their own right: Addressing the sexual and reproductive health needs of American men","author":"Alan Guttmacher Institute","year":"2002"},{"key":"bibr2-1557988317698615","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7205\/MILMED-D-10-00218"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr3-1557988317698615","first-page":"5","volume":"20","author":"Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center","year":"2013","journal-title":"Medical Surveillance Monthly Report"},{"key":"bibr4-1557988317698615","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21236\/ADA582287"},{"key":"bibr5-1557988317698615","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006250-200312000-00017"},{"key":"bibr6-1557988317698615","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2010.08.005"},{"key":"bibr7-1557988317698615","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/174.4.679"},{"key":"bibr8-1557988317698615","first-page":"456","volume":"59","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","year":"2010","journal-title":"Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report"},{"key":"bibr9-1557988317698615","volume-title":"Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2013","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","year":"2014"},{"key":"bibr10-1557988317698615","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.whi.2012.06.005"},{"key":"bibr11-1557988317698615","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0135660"},{"key":"bibr12-1557988317698615","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15288\/jsas.2002.s14.101"},{"key":"bibr13-1557988317698615","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0963-7214.2006.00385.x"},{"key":"bibr14-1557988317698615","first-page":"1","volume":"88","author":"Copen C.
