*Hazard ratio for employment loss associated with having reached AIDS stage or severe immunodeficiency in the 12 preceding months (compared with neither AIDS nor severe immunodeficiency), estimated for each category of sociodemographic/occupational characteristics by a Cox proportional hazard model including a term of interaction between disease severity and the considered sociodemographic/occupational characteristic.
