NC-AE medication use was used as the independent (predictor) variable for this analysis. Logistic regression analysis with exchangeable within-woman correlation was performed on all observations (visits) for all HIV-infected individuals. No NC-AE medication use was used as the reference.
= reported adherence to cART therapy in six months preceding visit.
= both cART and non-CART visits included in the analysis.
OR= odds ratio. CI= confidence interval. cART= combination antiretroviral therapy.
