a:
Conditional on ever achieved viral suppression
b:
The rate was calculated not conditional on having at least one viral load test. If no test was conducted for the time interval, it was coded as not having a suppressed viral load. The denominator was the n of each trajectory group. Chi-square tests were not performed for these outcomes
