<p>Correlation plot of log<sub>10</sub> viral load and CD4 count taken at the same visit, stratified by gender with least-squares line for males and females.</p
Distribution of behavioural characteristics by CD4 and viral load.
<p>*p-value represents the comparison of proportions between CD4 count and viral load categories.</p
Characteristics of all asyptomatic, first time HIV testers at enrolment.
<p>* In the last month prior to the study.</p><p>P-values for condom usage and reason for testing not presented due to small numbers within group.</p
Demographic characteristics and contraceptive use by incident pregnancy.
*<p>Data from multiple time points contribute to this statistic, number for each time point not shown.</p
Multivariable model<sup>*</sup> of screening factors associated with incident pregnancy.
*<p>Final model does not include 3 women with known HIV-positive partners as this stratum was too thin for modeling.</p>Λ<p>Adjusted for all other variables in the model; for variables with >2 levels the overall p value shown.</p>**<p>Heavy drinking defined as 5 or more alcoholic drinks in one day.</p
HIV risk indicators<sup>*</sup> at screening by incident pregnancy.
*<p>Refers to six months prior to screening interview.</p>Λ<p>Heavy drinking defined as 5 or more alcoholic drinks in one day; 81% (52/64) of these women were heavy drinkers.</p>&<p>Includes women with partners where HIV status was either all unknown, or status known for 1 of multiple partners.</p>**<p>Excludes 3 women with known HIV-positive partners as data too scant for a separate stratum.
