Abbreviations: ART, antiretroviral therapy; CI, confidence interval; HET, heterosexual transmission; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; IDU, injection drug use; IQR, interquartile range; MSM, men who have sex with men.
a Age, race/ethnicity, HIV risk factor, and insurance were compared using the χ2 test of independence. CD4 count and HIV load were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test due to their nonnormal distribution.
b P < .01 when comparing nontransgender men to transgender persons.
c P < .01 when comparing nontransgender women to transgender persons.
d Patients who had IDU in combination with another risk factor were categorized as injection drug users.
e Calculated for 106 440 patient years eligible for the retention in care analysis. Patients newly enrolled in care during the last 6 months of the year or who died in the first 6 months of the year were excluded.
f Calculated for 72 728 patient-years eligible for the HIV suppression analysis in which ART was prescribed for >6 months.
