Factors Associated With False-Negative Tests (Primary Analyses) and With Oral Fluid OraQuick Conversion Delay Times >180 Days (Secondary Analyses), in the Botswana TDF/FTC Oral HIV Prophylaxis Trial, the Bangkok Tenofovir Study, and the Bangkok MSM Cohort Study, According To Univariable Modeling Results Based on a Log-Binomial Regression Model

Randomization to PrEP 1.56 (.38–6.41), P = .53 2.73 (1.22–6.09), P = .01 NA
HIV pVL (participants w/ vs w/o FN) 0.53 0.23 0.86
HIV subtype NA 1.15 (.32–4.11), P = .83 0.95 (.42–2.14), P = .89
Operator Yes Yes Yes
Location Yes Yes NA
Secondary analysis (factors associated with delay >180 d)
 Randomization to PrEP P = 1.0 P = .26 NA
 Low HIV pVL P = .96 P < .016 P = .93
 HIV subtype NA P = .55 P = 1.0

Quantitative measures are indicated with prevalence ratios (95% confidence interval) and/or P values. Dichotomous qualitative measures associated and not associated with FN tests are shown as “yes” and “no,” respectively. Significant P-values are shown in bold.
