Adjusted odds ratios and (95% confidence intervals). Reference class=non users, Class 1

Model is adjusted for all other significant covariates detected in multinomial regressions using the unadjusted LCA class results

-- =no estimate because variable not included in model

SA=substance abuse, including alcohol and/or drug abuse, BMI= Body Mass Index, IVD=intravenous drug use, AUDIT-C=Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption, SF-12=Short form 12, BMI=Body Mass Index

Bold values are statistically significant from the reference non user class within HIV status
