a
Modeled as a simple, linear term where the OR reflects the relative change in odds of being out-of-care for each one point increase in the HIV stigma score.
b
Adjusted for age, gender, income, travel time to HNCH, social support, knowledge of HIV, and ART status
c
Adjusted for age, gender, income, social support, knowledge of HIV, and ART status (no adjustment for travel time to HNCH)
d
Evidence of a non-linear association with being out-of-care in both the primary and re-classified analyses; see results from Table 3 and Figure 1.
