DHHS, Department of Health and Human Services; aOR, adjusted odds ratio; PCP, primary care physician; ID, infectious diseases; ANP, advanced nurse practitioner; PA, physician assistant. Significant results in bold.

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.
