aRow percent represents the proportion of participants who met the specific measure out of the population in each demographic group.

bP-value correspond to bivariate comparison of characteristics; P-values less than 0.0083 are considered statistically significant, using a Bonferroni correction for multiple testing.

cAdjusted odds ratio (aOR) are adjusted for all other variables presented in the table; aORs in bold denote statistical differences at the 0.0083 level, using a Bonferroni correction for multiple testing.

dOther race includes races reported as Hispanic, Asian, American Indian/Native American, Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, White-Black, and Other.

eMSM risk includes persons identified as having both MSM and injection drug use risk. Other risk includes perinatal transmission (65%), transfusion/coagulation disorder (19%), hemophiliacs and risk due to occupational exposure and other (16%).

Note. IOM = Institute of Medicine; ARV = antiretroviral; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; MSM = men who have sex with men; HRH = high risk heterosexual risk; IDU = injection drug use; CBO = community-based organization
