Association between living in a state not contributing to the annual ADAP budget and ART initiation and virologic suppression, U.S. NA-ACCORD, 2001–2009.

ART = antiretroviral therapy, CI = confidence interval, HR = hazard ratio.
All analyses use Cox proportional hazards regression.
*Hazard ratios obtained after 1∶3 matching (with replacement) 683 “exposed” to 399 “unexposed” individuals based on propensity of living in a state contributing to the ADAP budget.
Both regression-adjusted and propensity-score matched analyses account for the following variables: age; sex; race/ethnicity; transmission risk; CD4+ count and viral load at eligibility; history of alcohol abuse, substance abuse, and mental disorders; year of eligibility; type of cohort; clinic-specific mechanisms to help obtain ART; state-level population density, % population of black race, % population below poverty line, median household income, and per capita Medicaid spending on HIV.
