CI indicates confidence interval.

*

All P values are less than .05.

Individual bivariate models were run to control for sample size. Tetramer-positive absolute counts remained a significant predictor when paired with each covariate. All P values were less than or equal to .05.

Tetramer relative risk range compared individually with each of the other covariates in the bivariate models.
