Bold values are those that are statistically significant at p < 0.05.

a

Reference is HIV uninfected

b

Reference is HCV seronegative

c

Viremic HCV-seropositive had 2.84 (95% CI 1.38–5.84) time the odds for liver fibrosis than those with undetectable HCV viral load; P=0.005. In multivariable regression, viremic HCV-seropositive participants had 2.88 (95% CI 1.31–6.32) times the odds for liver fibrosis than those with undetectable HCV viral load; P=0.008
