  1. ART, antiretroviral therapy; EMR, electronic medical record; DMPA, depomedroxyprogesterone acetate; OCPs, oral contraceptive pills; MEC, other more effective contraceptive methods, such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and permanent methods; LEC, less effective contraceptive methods, such as male or female condoms and “natural” contraceptive methods of withdrawal or rhythm; PI, protease inhibitor; BMI, body mass index
  2. aART regimen and contraceptive method are considered time-varying exposures. All other variables are ascertained at the start of the ART/contraceptive combination category and assumed constant within an ART/contraceptive combination category, but allowed to vary between ART/contraceptive combination categories
