The table shows factors associated with disclosure of HIV status among 103 participants who were confirmed to be HIV infected in the study and who were classified as previously diagnosed. Two groups were compared; those who reported a prior HIV diagnosis at screening, and those who did not report a prior HIV diagnosis, but had ARV drugs detected in the sample from their screening visit. Sixty-seven participants reported that their last HIV test was positive (HIV status disclosed, Yes). Thirty-six participants did not report a previous positive HIV test, but were classified as previously diagnosed based on results of antiretroviral (ARV) drug testing (HIV status disclosed: No, see text). Data for variables shown in the table were collected at the screening visit. p<0.05 is bolded. Abbreviations: N: number; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval, ref: reference.

Participants who identified as female, male and female, and/or transgender were classified as transgender.
