¥

RRs estimated using generalized estimating equations with log link, independence correlation structure and robust standard errors. The Wald (Chi-squared) test was used for all test statistics.

±

Multivariate models adjusted for age (restricted cubic spline) and education (<8 vs. 8 or more years)

1

≥180 viral copies per milliliter. The adjusted model and included 195 women and 570 visits when viral load testing was performed.

2

The adjusted model included 214 women and 3,189 visits when women were taking ART.

3

The adjusted model included 213 women and 3,190 visits when women were taking ART.
