BL indicates Burkitt lymphoma; CI, confidence interval; MSM, men who have sex with men; and IDU, intravenous drug users.

*

Incidence rate ratio for BL for each factor is adjusted for all other factors in the table; records with missing CD4 data were coded as missing and included in the model.

CD4 lymphocyte count analyses based on data from 1990-2005.

Percentage of the CD4 lymphocyte counts for “missing” are of the total; for known categories, the percentages are based on those with known CD4 lymphocyte counts.
