Central obesity (AOR = .316, 95 percent CI (.186,.538), p < .001), diabetes (AOR = .330, 95 percent CI (.203,.535), p < .001), and high blood pressure (AOR = .339 (.227,.507), p < .001) were all less common in HIV + participants than in HIV- participants. WHtR (AOR = 2.973 (1.831, 4.828), p < .001) was the only type of dyslipidemia factor that was substantially linked with HIV + subjects.
