Table 2 reports results for the first stage of logit analysis in which the
main and interactive effects of hypothesized cues on the odds of risk
perception were tested. As seen in the R2 analogues, cues alone and i
interaction had a relatively weak association with perceived
susceptibility for both men and women. The only interaction which
showed promise was that between coital experience and contact with
people tested for HIV. This is evident when comparing the
improvement in models represented in the R2 analogues, particularly
for models 2 and 7.
