The “RITA Aware” estimates are calculated using equation 10 and takes into account the estimated reductions in FRR and MDRI from reference to adjusted. Adjustment is performed using either the testing history of the undiagnosed HIV-positive population, the testing history of the HIV-negative population, or using an external study. The “Historical” estimates assume the context-specific MDRI is equal to 130 days and the FRR is 0, a strategy that has been commonly applied in previous publications. The “Naive” estimates assume that the residual FRR and context-specific MDRI are equal to their reference values. Jackknife standard errors are presented in the parenthesis.
