Sample Size and Statistical Methods
viral suppression
We estimated enrolling at least 100 participants in 6 months but allowed for flexibility to enroll 80–180 participants based on available time and resources. We calculated the proportions of participants achieving study outcomes and compared proportions in each arm using the Fisher exact test. For the primary outcome, participants who were lost-to-follow-up were included as not virally suppressed. We did not intend for the study to be powered to compare the primary outcome of viral suppression at 24 weeks between the 2 arms. For time-to-event outcomes, we assessed the median number of days from enrolment to each outcome and compared outcomes using Cox proportional hazards.
