Table 3.
Comparison of HIV infection rates of the adherence and nonadherence groups.
| Group | Seroconversions | Person years | Ratea (95% CI) | HRb (95%CI) | P value | AHRc (95%CI) | P value |
| Totald | 20 | 296.69 | 6.74 (4.38-10.00) | N/Ae | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Nonadherence to HIV testing |
12 | 249.91 | 4.80 (2.77-7.88) | 1.00 | N/A | 1.00 | N/A |
| Adherence to HIV testing | 8 | 46.77 | 17.10 (8.80-30.84) | 3.48 (1.42-8.54) | .006 | 3.33 (1.35-8.20) | .009 |
aRate is calculated as the number of seroconversions per 100 person years.
bHR: hazard ratio.
cAHR: adjusted hazard ratio; multivariate Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for age, condom use behaviors, and other sexually transmitted diseases.
dA total of 680 men who have sex with men with 2 or more HIV tests were included in this analysis.
eN/A: not applicable.
