Note. CI = confidence interval; CVD = cardiovascular disease; HR = hazard ratio. All models adjusted for treatment group, age, gender, race/ethnicity (Black, Hispanic, other), baseline HIV RNA, and baseline and nadir CD4+ counts. Death and AIDS endpoints additionally adjusted for alcohol abuse, injection drug use, and previous AIDS disease. CVD endpoints additionally adjusted for body mass index, diabetes, blood pressure–lowering drugs, lipid-lowering drugs, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides. Cancer and liver endpoints additionally adjusted for alcohol abuse, injection drug use, and hepatitis B or C.

a

Major CVD events, as well as congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease requiring drug treatment, or peripheral vascular disease.

b

Initial occurrence.
