Sample, Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
All records of participants who consented to enrolment in the ITREMA trial were included in our sub-study. The trial included adult participants (18 years and older) who were HIV positive and were either ART-naïve and ready to start treatment or had been on treatment for more than 1 year. As the trial intervention was deemed not to interfere with the predictor-outcome relationships assessed in the current study, participants were included regardless of randomization status.
