Less than 2% of the Moore Clinic patient population self-identifies as Hispanic, Asian, Native-American, or Other therefore these racial/ethnic groups were included among the population self-identifying as Caucasian for the purposes of this analysis.

b

Medication adherence is assessed only in those on antiretroviral therapy (n=1119) and is defined as >90%.

c

Undetectable viral load is based on those individuals on ART who had an HIV-1 RNA available for analysis (n=1106) and is defined as <50 copies/mL.
