Abbreviation: Gen‐pop, general population.

^a We took 2009 as the study mid‐year as this was the year that was used to calculate the standardized mortality ratios with the general population, while the study start year was 1987 when the first case of HIV in Latvia was recorded, so the data would have been heavily right‐skewed.

^b Taken from UNAIDS data for corresponding mid‐year.
