Factors associated with viral suppression among Venezuelans migrants and refugees living with HIV in Colombia (n=70)
OR | 95%CI | p-value | aOR | 95%CI | p-value | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Irregular migration status (Ref: Regular) | 0.2 | (0.1–0.6) | 0.0037 | 0.3 | (0.1–0.9) | 0.0263 |
Member of key population (Ref: no) | 3.0 | (1.1–7.9) | 0.0297 | |||
Country of last HIV tests (Ref: Venezuela) | ||||||
Colombia | 0.2 | (0.0–0.7) | 0.015 | 0.1 | (0.0–0.5) | 0.0077 |
Never tested | 0.2 | (0.1–0.5) | 0.0026 | 0.2 | (0.1–0.8) | 0.0176 |
Used humanitarian services (Ref: No use) | 2.7 | (0.9–7.6) | 0.0632 |
Note: Viral suppression is defined as <1000 copies/ml; OR: odds ratio; aOR: adjusted odds ratio calculated via a penalized multivariable logistic regression model; final models are fit based on goodness of fit statistics and tested for collinearity; Reporting membership in a key population and use of humanitarian services in Colombia were associated with viral suppression at the bivariate level but were not associated in the multivariable model. Gender, time since migration, site, age, education, literacy, income, food security, and BMI were not associated with viral suppression in bivariate or multivariable models. Sensitivity analysis using undetectable viral load as the outcome found no meaningful difference in identified correlates (results not displayed). 71 participants were living with HIV but one participant who had been previously diagnosed declined viral load testing, thus restricting this analytic sample to 70.
