Conditional Logistic Regression Model; CI = confidence interval; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; hsCRP = high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; IL-6 = interleukin-6; IQR = interquartile range; NNRTI = nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; NRTI = nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; OR = odds ratio; PAI-1 = plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; PI = protease inhibitor; t-PA = tissue plasminogen activator.

*Adjusted for calendar year, duration of time between the date of samples and the analysis time, age, total cholesterol, HDL, CD4+ cell count and viral load, cumulative exposure to NRTI, NNRTI and PI prior to sample, and co-infection with hepatitis B or C.
