Virologic suppression was defined as a HIV-1 RNA viral load less than 200 copies/ml, as the first viral load drawn between 366 days and 730 days after diagnosis. Visits refer to clinic visits for HIV care; i.e., an outpatient visit with a provider with prescribing privileges in an HIV care setting. Tests refer to laboratory tests sent, including CD4 T-cell counts and HIV-1 RNA levels. Either a CD4 T-cell count or HIV-1 RNA level was considered a laboratory test. Laboratory tests drawn on the same day were counted as one test. The date of the laboratory test was the date that the laboratory test was drawn, regardless of when it was entered into the database. Estimates are unadjusted estimates unless specified. Sensitivity for virologic suppression was defined as the proportion of those meeting the virologic suppression criteria who met the linkage criteria. Similarly, specificity for virologic suppression was defined as the proportion of those who did not achieve virologic suppression who did not meet the linkage criteria. PPV was defined as the proportion of those meeting linkage criteria who achieved virologic suppression, and NPV was defined as the proportion of those not meeting linkage criteria who did not achieve virologic suppression.
Adjusted for AIDS at time of diagnosis, race/ethnicity, exposure risk, gender, and age.
Abbreviations: PPV: Positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value; HIV: human immunodeficiency virus; AIDS: acquired immunodeficiency syndrome; AUC: area under the curve
