| Base model Hazard Ratio | Substance use control Hazard Ratio | Adherence control Hazard Ratio | Social support Hazard Ratio | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sample size | 176 | 170 | 155 | 176 |
| Spiritual reframing | 0.27** | 0.30* | 0.33* | 0.26** |
| Spiritual guilt | 0.24** | 0.20** | 0.31* | 0.24** |

| Spiritual meaning | 0.55† | 0.52† | 0.58 | 0.55† |
The base model controlled for CD4 and VL at baseline, gender, age, education, ethnicity, sexual orientation. Additional controls were added individually above the base model because the sample size changes as indicated in the first line of the table
† p < 0.10; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001
