  • Have more than one partner
  • Are in a relationship where at least one of the partners has other sexual partners
  • Have had a confirmed sexually transmitted infection within the last year
  • Have attended venues for sexual contact (e.g., bath houses, sex clubs)
  • Have had anonymous sex (e.g., using hookup apps) recently.

2. Sexual partners of individuals who meet the criteria above

3. Sex workers (regardless of gender, sex assigned at birth, or sexual orientation) or who are a sexual contact of an individual who engages in sex work
