Odds Ratio of Risk of Future HIV Load >20 Copies/mL by Concentration of Tenofovir Diphosphate in DBS at Current Visit in a Subset of 284 Participants with Consecutively Analyzed DBS (N = 452 Paired Assessments)

TFV-DP (fmol/punch) Paired Assessments, n (%) OR (95% CI) P Value aOR (95% CI)a P Value
BLQ to <800 57 (13) 4.4 (2.1–9.4) <.0001 4.5 (2.0–10.1) .0003

Abbreviations: aOR, adjusted odds ratio; ART, antiretroviral therapy; BLQ, below limit of quantification; CI, confidence interval; DBS, dried blood spots; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; OR, odds ratio; REF, reference; TFV-DP, tenofovir diphosphate.

aAdjusted for age, sex, race, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, CD4+ T-cell count, and antiretroviral therapy class. The OR and aOR between categories BLQ to <800 vs 800 to <1650 fmol/punch were 2.3 (1.2–4.5), P = .02 and 2.0 (0.9–4.3), P = .08, respectively.
