  1. The last column provides p-values comparing hazard ratios for ADC vs. NADC using tests for interaction
  2. AIDS-defining cancer (ADC); non-AIDS-defining cancer (NADC)
  3. *= p-value from the model on the full cohort with the type of cancer interacted with the given variable. There were 219 subjects in the NADC cohort and 72 deaths. Similarly, there were 564 subjects in the ADC cohort and 159 deaths
