- MSM = men who have sex with men, IDU = injection drug user, cART = combination antiretroviral therapy, NNRTI = non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, PI = protease inhibitor, VL = viral load.
- †Race percentages are calculated as percentages of non-missing values. ‡Risk factors are not mutually exclusive. Results are N (%) or median (interquartile range). Missing values are only reported for variables with more than 25% missing data.
