The authors would like to inform the readers of needed clarification regarding errors inserted in Table 3 of this article. (See Table 3.) In the information on the group analysis for multiple sexual partners, the row corresponding to the information on the estimate of the parameter Sigma^2 actually corresponds to the information on the interaction term between control-case status and multiple sexual partners (Cases:MSP). The information reported for I 2 is actually the information for Sigma^2 and the information for I 2 was not presented. In addition, we have changed the name of the column “Mean structure” to parameter, since parameters like Sigma^2 and I 2 are not related to the mean structure of the models. The authors wish to apologise for any inconvenience caused. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
