Increased likelihood of choosing new HIV remission strategy over standard daily ART if… |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Characteristic | No more daily pills, but must go to lab/clinic much more often (e.g., every 2 weeks) [Scenario 1] | No more daily pills, but very small increase in chance of passing HIV on to sex partner [Scenario 2] | New strategy causes worse side effects initially but went away eventually [Scenario 3] | Never take HIV medications again, but very small increase in risk of health problems (e.g., cancer) [Scenario 4] | Uncertainty of new strategy working, but need to stop taking the HIV medication to find out [Scenario 5] | New strategy might not increase life expectancy [Scenario 6] | New strategy might not increase quality of life [Scenario 7] |
| Gender | Cis and trans women (OR = 0.44) less likely to choose HIV remission than cis men | Cis and trans women (OR = 0.53) less likely to choose HIV remission than cis men | Cis and trans women (OR = 0.59) less likely to choose HIV remission than cis men | Cis and trans women (OR = 0.54) less likely to choose HIV remission than cis men | |||
| Race/ethnicity | African Americans (OR = 0.52) less likely to choose HIV remission than whites/Caucasians | African Americans (OR = 0.47) less likely to choose HIV remission than whites/Caucasians | Mixed race (OR = 0.26) less likely to choose HIV remission than whites/Caucasians | Hispanic or Latino/a (OR = 0.45) less likely to choose HIV remission than non-Hispanic and non-Latino/a | |||
| Education | Some college education (OR = 0.33), 4-year college graduates (OR = 0.19), Master's (OR = 0.18), and Doctorates (OR = 0.10) less likely to choose HIV remission than high-school graduates | Some college education (OR = 0.40), 4-year college graduates (OR = 0.34), and Master's (OR = 0.39) less likely to choose HIV remission than high-school graduates | |||||
| Region | Southerners (OR = 2.37) and Westerners (OR = 2.29) more likely to choose HIV remission than Northeasterners | Midwesterners (OR = 2.50), Southerners (OR = 2.69), and Westerners (OR = 2.34) more likely to choose HIV remission than Northeasterners | Southerners (OR = 2.42) more likely to choose HIV remission than Northeasterners | ||||
| Household income | $75k–$100k group (OR = 0.24) and >$100k group (OR = 0.30) less likely to choose HIV remission than <$15k group | $15k–$25k group (OR = 0.29) less likely to choose HIV remission than <$15k group | |||||
| Income source | Receiving government support (OR = 1.97) more likely to choose HIV remission than those without | ||||||
| Financial status | Able to pay expenses and has savings (OR = 0.36) less likely to choose HIV remission than those rarely able to pay expenses | ||||||
Age, partnership status, time since first exposure to HIV, time living with HIV, and health status are not statistically significantly correlated with increased likelihood of switching to new HIV remission strategy in scenarios 1–7.
