BACKGROUND: Stagnating decreases in Kaposi sarcoma (KS) among men with HIV (MWH) following Treat-All policies necessitate evaluating changes in clinical drivers of KS. We examined clinical factors and their associations with KS rates among MWH in North America. METHODS: Among MWH in the North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design, we estimated annual KS rates (per 100 000 person-years [PY]) by viral suppression (<200 copies/mL), CD4 count (<500 vs ≥500 cells/mm3), and time since ART initiation (<1 year/naive vs ≥1 year) from 2009-2019. We quantified associations between clinical factors and KS rates using negative binomial regression, estimating incidence rate ratios (IRRs) with 95% CIs. Among MWH with KS, we estimated average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) in clinical factor distribution using joinpoint regression. RESULTS: There were 61 155 MWH (370 624 PY) contributing 262 KS diagnoses. KS decreased from 132 to 43 cases per 100 000 PY between 2009 and 2019. Viral suppression (IRR2009: .09 [95% CI: .04-.20]; IRR2019: .69 [.31-1.54]), recent/no ART initiation (IRR2009: .14 [.07-.30]; IRR2019: 1.16 [.53, 2.56]), and CD4 count ≥500 cells/mm3 (IRR2009: .13 [.05-.31]; IRR2019: .44 [.18-1.10]) were associated with reduced KS rates, attenuating over time. Unsuppressed viral load at KS diagnosis decreased by 10.6% (-15.8%, -4.8%) as did those on ART ≤1 year/naive (70%-40%; AAPC: -6.3% [-13.8%, 2.1%]). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings underscore the importance of ear...
