Goodness-of-fit for all models was assessed using Akaike Information Criterion.

p ≤ 0.05;

^**

p ≤ 0.01;

^***

p ≤ 0.001

JSI = Justice System Involvement.

ISU = illicit substance use (ecstasy, volatile nitrates, cocaine/crack, heroin, psychedelics, methamphetamines) in past 12 months.

Syndemic Index = presence of 0, 1, 2, 3, ≥ 4 psychosocial and structural factors (ISU, depression, history of community of violence, history of JSI, and poverty) among respondents.

^a.

≥ 50% of social network is friends.

^b.

≥ 1 social network member who is ≥ 1 year older.

^c.

≥50% of social network is family (blood or play).

^d.

≥ 1 friend in social network.

^e.

≥ 1 romantic members in social network.

^f.

≥ 1 member with JSI in social network.

^g.

Adjusted for respondent’s age, sexual orientation, transgender identity.

^h.

Adjusted for respondent’s age, sexual orientation, transgender identity, days spent in the justice system.

^i.

Adjusted for respondent’s age, HIV diagnosis (HIV dx), transgender identity.

^j.

Adjusted for respondent’s age, HIV dx, transgender identity, days in the justice system, days since HIV dx.

^k.

Adjusted for respondent’s age, HIV dx, sexual orientation, education, employment status.

^l.

Adjusted for respondent’s age, HIV dx, sexual orientation, education, employment status, days in the justice system, days since HIV dx.
