The table shows the baseline demographics and health characteristics of participants based on viral suppression status. Suppressed indicates that the viral load was <200 copies/mL at the month 12 study visit. Numbers in parentheses incidate percentatges, ranges (min/max), or quartiles (Q1, Q3). CM: case manager study arm; SOC: standard of care study arm; N=number; HIV viral load (VL, HIV RNA copies/mL).

Abbreviations: ART: antiretroviral therapy; SAMISS: Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Symptoms Screener; Min: minimum, Max: maximum, 1–5; Q: quartertile.

P-Values are from Fisher exact test. For race, not being mutually exclusive among racial categories, we conducted alternative comparison between Black “Yes/No” and VL suppression status.
