  1. VS virological suppression, FARVDT first naïve ARV date
  2. aData shown are frequencies and proportions for categorical variables and median and interquartile ranges for continuous variables. p values for continuous variables were calculated using chi-square or Fisher exact tests and for continuous variables were calculated using Wilcoxon’s Rank Sum tests
  3. bAIDS-defining illness present prior to or before first naïve ARV date
