Values are given as counts per number of patients of which data was available. For the multivariate analysis, odds ratios are given with regard to MSM. The p-value for the Hosmer-Lemeshow test for the multivariate model is 0.625.
MSM, men who have sex with men; HBV, Hepatitis B Virus; HCV, Hepatitis C Virus; DRM, Drug Resistant Mutations; PHI, Primary HIV Infection; IQR, interquartile range; CI, confidence interval.
