CES-D, Center for Epidemiology Studies Depression score; CI, confidence interval; HCV, hepatitis C virus; IDU, injection drug use; WIHS, Women's Interagency HIV Study; VL, viral load.

aBased on GEE logistic regression. Study visit was also considered but was not statistically associated with adherence.

bFrom backwards selection GEE models with race, WIHS site, WIHS visit, age, and smoking forced in.

cNA – only CES-D and not the specific subscales was considered for the multivariate model.
