^*Numbers are unweighted.

^†Percentages are weighted row percentages.

^§CIs incorporate weighted percentages.

^¶Comparing people with no disability vs. who had any disability.

^**ART prescription documented in medical record; persons with no medical record abstraction were considered to have no documentation of ART prescription.

^††Did not miss a single dosage of any HIV medicines in the past 30 days.

^§§Defined as drinking ≥5 alcoholic beverages in a single sitting (≥4 for women) during the 30 days before the interview.

^¶¶Defined as consuming an average of >2 drinks/day or >14 drinks/week (for men) or consuming an average >1 drink/day or >7 drinks/week (for women) during the 30 days before the interview.
