  1. Data among adults aged 24–74 years across three exposure status groups and the general cohort (N = 150). Notes: The “Other” category encompasses, Alaska Native, American Indian, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian, mixed, or declined to answer on treatment intake surveys. Current housing status, stable, referred to rent, own, SRO, or hotel survey responses. Unstable housing self-reporting referred to treatment or transitional housing, staying with a friend, shelter, outdoors, or in a vehicle responses. FIB-4 scores less than 1.25 indicated minimal fibrosis, 1.25 to 3.25 moderate fibrosis, and greater than 3.25 advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis. HIV serological data were only available for 149 of the 150 cohort
