Results from unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression generalized estimating equations models. A total of 1,492 missing midyear viral load outcomes were excluded from the analysis. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; MSM, men who have sex with men; IDU, injecting drug user; NRTI, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; NNRTI, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; PI, protease inhibitor; Hep, Hepatitis. *Time-updated variables. Bold text indicates p-value < 0.05.
