aN = 367 for all unadjusted analyses except for heterosexual (n = 364), substance use (n = 365), and health literacy (n = 356); n = 353 for adjusted analyses.

bPartial proportional odds results for this covariate are reported in this footnote given the violation of the proportional odds assumption: For extremely/not at all: OR, 1.76 (95% CI, .94–3.32); very/not at all: OR, 1.70 (95% CI, .87–2.99); moderately/not at all: OR, 3.50 (95% CI, 1.91–6.23)***; slightly/not at all: OR, 4.08 (95% CI, 2.00–8.34)***.

cStably housed: owning or renting; well-engaged in care: virally suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <200 copies/mL) or ≥2 primary care visits attended in prior 12 months.
