The study was conducted in the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) demographic surveillance area (DSA), in uMkhanyakude district, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The AHRI DSA covers 845km2, with approximately 25000 homesteads and over 60000 residents aged 15 years or above.
The population of interest in our analysis were all individuals over the age of 15 years who were a resident member (defined as intending to spend the majority of nights at a household within the study area) of a household in the AHRI DSA on 1st July 2017. Among 67124 DSA residents (=15 years), 27038 (40.3%) were men; 14196 (21.2%) were classified HIV-positive, 18892 (28.1%) HIV-negative and 34036 (50.7%) HIV-unknown.

Since January 2017, individuals who sought health care at any one of the 11 PHC's serving the AHRI DSA on weekdays between 7am and 7pm have been registered by a member of AHRI staff, and their self-reported reason for attending clinic recorded, using an electronic system known as ClinicLink.
