CI, confidence interval; PR, prevalence ratio.

aPrevalence ratio was estimated from log-linear Poisson models. Numbers in bold indicate statistical significance at p <0.05.

bInverse probability of treatment weight was used to control for bias due to confounding. Covariates for the model for continuity of HIV care included age, sex, race/ethnicity, nativity, neighborhood poverty, a proxy measure of substance use, a proxy measure of mental illness, criminal charges due to drug sales, violent crimes, weapon possession, public administration, property crimes, quality of life crimes, sex crimes, ages of HIV diagnoses, and stage of HIV infection. The same sets of covariates except for criminal charges due to weapon possession were used for the model for viral suppression.
