Note. AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. a For variables with more than 2 categorical response options, we calculated the global p values. Global p values suggest evidence of significance for marital status (p < 0.001), employment (p < 0.001), and mode of transmission (p < 0.001) on delayed entry to ART and late testing. ** MSM: men who have sex with men: PWID: persons with intravenous drug use. Each AOR means the odds ratio after incorporating other factors.
