Means with different superscripts are significantly different from one another and are based on post hoc Tukey’s tests (for continuous variables). Categorical covariate significance levels are denoted with asterisks (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001) and were based on post hoc logistic regressions—that is, the categorical covariates were regressed onto each of the HD class designations. Results are based on the combined sample of HIV+ and non-HIV controls.
