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.
