*P value is for comparison of ADCs vs. NADCs

aOropharyngeal cancers typically include both human papillomavirus-related and -unrelated cancers

bMissing HIV duration data: NADC's (2), Lung (1)

cN = 290 NADC's with measurements taken within one year before cancer diagnosis. Missing data by cancer individual cancers: Hodgkin (0), Anal (3), Liver (4), Lung (7), Prostate (2), Oral (5)

ADCs AIDS-defining cancers, ART antiretroviral therapy, IDU injection drug use, NADCs non-AIDS-defining cancers, VL viral load
