Compared with non-Indigenous participants, a higher proportion of Indigenous participants were female (p = 0.029), living in non-metropolitan areas (p < 0.001), and reported potential HIV exposures of heterosexual contact (p = 0.022) and injecting drug use (p = 0.082) (Table 1).
Government statistics show that 6% of Mexicans speak an indigenous language, a proportion that has held steady since the mid-1990s.
There was little difference in the comorbidity score between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people (Table 1) and although a greater proportion of Indigenous people had diabetes (12% vs. 3%), this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.09).

A higher proportion of Indigenous compared with non-Indigenous people live in regional and remote areas [ 18].
