Analyses adjusted for recruitment site.
Overall p‐value represents overall statistical significance of difference between groups, based on Pearson’s chi‐square test.
Among venue‐based sample only, since service‐based sample included many coming for HIV testing. Excluded men who reported initiating ART (i.e., were diagnosed) over 12 months ago.
Four of the 84 HIV‐positive men did not provide a valid response regarding current ART use.
Small sample sizes for each class precluded testing significance of differences between them.
*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; significance of comparisons with the reference category (ref; selected based on youngest mean age of the latent class).
aIRR, adjusted incidence rate ratio; aPR, adjusted prevalence ratio; CI, confidence interval; SD, standard deviation.
