HL=Hodgkin lymphoma; SCCA=Squamous cell carcinoma of the anus; HCC=Hepatocellular carcinoma. All adjusted regression models included the following additional variables: age at HIV diagnosis, race/ethnicity, use of illicit drugs, era of HIV diagnosis (pre-cART, early cART, late cART), Deyo modification of the Charlson comorbidity index, nadir CD4 count (prior to cART initiation), and recent CD4 count.

a

Regression model for SCCA also included condyloma.

b

Regression model for HCC also included hepatitis C and cirrhosis.
