Covariate Joint Longitudinal Survival Model*
Linear Mixed Model
OR 95% CI P Value Relative VL 95% CI P Value
Integrase strand transfer inhibitor use 0.67 0.63–0.72 <0.001 0.78 0.76–0.81 <0.001
Female 1.23 1.11–1.36 <0.001 1.14 1.07–1.21 <0.001
Age (per decade, centered at 40 y) 0.69 0.67–0.72 <0.001 0.85 0.83–0.87 <0.001
Race/ethnicity (reference is white race)
 Black 2.09 1.89–2.30 <0.001 1.54 1.46–1.65 <0.001
 Hispanic 0.84 0.74–0.96 0.01 0.91 0.84–0.98 0.014
 Other 0.88 0.73–1.06 0.2 0.93 0.83–1.04 0.197
Calendar time (year of cohort entry, centered around 2010) 1.14 1.10–1.17 <0.001 0.98 0.96–1.00 0.016
Years of follow-up 0.79 0.78–0.81 <0.001 0.78 0.77–0.79 <0.001

ART = antiretroviral therapy; OR = odds ratio; VL = viral load.

*

Outcome is detectable VL (>400 copies/mL).

Outcome is VL in log10 copies/mL.
