Exposed and unexposed person-visits after on 1:1 propensity score matching with replacement, accounting for age at visit, race/ethnicity, year of visit, current income, education, current employment, current insurance status, study site, CD4+ count, viral load, history of ART, number of children, change in number of children since last visit, history of recreational drug use, current recreational drug use, history of alcohol use, current alcohol use, current stable housing, depressive symptoms. Rate ratios determined by weighted log-binomial regression with robust variance.
