The aim of this project is to leverage the detailed clinical, population, and laboratory data from the AHRI population cohort and new Vukuzazi study data to compare and triangulate different approaches to estimating levels of HIV testing, treatment, and viral load suppression from cross-sectional population and longitudinal clinical data sources.
The ultimate objective of the project is to develop and validate approaches to assessing HIV testing and treatment programme outcomes from clinical surveillance data in typical settings that do not have detailed population data available.
Specifically, the project will use linked population and clinical surveillance data to investigate:
· Levels of HIV testing and diagnosis, and re-testing and engagement in care.
· Retention on ART among clinical cohorts compared to cross-sectional ART coverage.
· Population wide VLS amongst persons on ART compared to levels of VLS recorded via routine clinical monitoring of viral load.
