aWithin characteristic, mean proportions (%) for level with different superscript letters (g, h, j, l, n, o) are significantly different at P < .05.
bSummary is based on 2 independent analytical models built.
cMeans are least square means adjusted for covariates in the general linear model.
dSignificant level of P < .001.
eSignificant level of P < .0001.
fProviders’ reasons for delaying ART were not independent of each other as some providers identified more than one theme or subthemes.
iHispanics/Latinos were not distinguished by country of origin.
kOther include American Indian or Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.
mDistinction was not made on the mode of transmission for women.
