Note: Demographic information for HIV-positive and HIV-negative cohorts. DM = diabetes mellitus; HLD = hyperlipidemia; HTN = hypertension; PPD = purified protein derivative.

*The value of % life span HIV (since diagnosis) represented in the table represents an interquartile range, with the median (25 percentile, 75 percentile). p values less than or equal to .05 were considered significant.
