N1 - Funding Information:
This research was funded by a 2018 secondary data analysis developmental award (P30 AI50410) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) (Andrea K. Knittel, Bonnie E. Shook-Sa, Jacqueline Rudolph), National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences grant T32 ES007018 (Jacqueline Rudolph), and a Gillings Innovation Laboratory award (Jacqueline Rudolph). The data used in this article were collected by the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS). WIHS sites and principal investigators were as follows: Birmingham/ Jackson (Mirjam-Colette Kempf and Deborah Konkle-Parker; National Institutes of Health [NIH] grant U01-AI-103401); Atlanta (Ighovwerha Ofotokun, Anandi Sheth, and Gina Wingood; NIH grant U01-AI-103408); Bronx (Kathryn Anastos and Anjali Sharma; NIH grant U01-AI-035004); Brooklyn (Deborah Gustafson and Tracey Wilson; NIH grant U01-AI-031834); Chicago (Mardge Cohen and Audrey French; NIH grant U01-AI-034993); Washington, DC (Seble Kassaye and Daniel Merenstein; NIH grant U01-AI-034994); Miami (Maria Alcaide, Margaret Fischl, and Deborah Jones; NIH grant U01-AI-103397); Chapel Hill (Adaora Adimora; NIH grant U01-AI-103390); Connie Wofsy Women’s HIV Study, San Francisco (Bradley Aouizerat and Phyllis Tien; NIH grant U01-AI-034989); WIHS Data Management and Analysis Center (Stephen Gange and Elizabeth Golub; NIH grant U01-AI-042590); and Los Angeles (Joel Milam; NIH grant U01-HD-032632). The WIHS is funded primarily by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, with additional co-funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute of Mental Health. Targeted supplemental funding for specific projects is also provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, and the National Institutes of Health Office of Research on Women’s Health. In addition, WIHS data collection is supported by grants UL1-TR000004 (University of California, San Francisco, Clinical and Translational Science Award), UL1-TR000454 (Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Award), P30-AI-050410 (University of North Carolina CFAR), and P30-AI-027767 (University of Alabama at Birmingham CFAR).

N2 - Objectives. To examine whether women's incarceration increases numbers of total and new sexual partners. Methods. US women with or at risk for HIV in a multicenter cohort study answered incarceration and sexual partner questions semiannually between 2007 and 2017. We used marginal structural models to compare total and new partners at visits not following incarceration with all visits following incarceration and visits immediately following incarceration. Covariates included demographics, HIV status, sex exchange, drug or alcohol use, and housing instability. Results. Of the 3180 participants, 155 were incarcerated. Women reported 2 partners, 3 or more partners, and new partners at 5.2%, 5.2%, and 9.3% of visits, respectively. Relative to visits not occurring after incarceration, odds ratios were 2.41 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.20, 4.85) for 2 partners, 2.03 (95% CI = 0.97, 4.26) for 3 or more partners, and 3.24 (95% CI = 1.69, 6.22) for new partners at visits immediately after incarceration. Odds ratios were similar for all visits following incarceration. Conclusions. Women had more total partners and new partners immediately and at all visits following incarceration after confounders and loss to follow-up had been taken into account.
