aThree participants did not report race/ethnicity and were excluded from model.
bMultivariable logistic regression models adjusted for all other covariates from first 2 columns.
cOrdinal logistic regression model adjusted for all other covariates from first 2 columns. Ordered levels were never, rarely, sometimes, often, and always.
dPer 10% increase in percent of practice that is HIV-infected.
