Family member identification per index patient 2.71 (2.33, 3.09) 2.47 (2.25, 2.68) 2.54 (2.36, 2.73)

Family member tests per index patient ▶▶ 1.57 (1.26, 1.89) 1.59 (1.40, 1.79) 1.59 (1.42, 1.75)

† denominator is "family members identified"

* denominators are "partners identified" and "children identified"

‡ denominators are "partners tested for HIV" and "children tested for HIV"

¥ denominator is "family member HIV positive"

¥¥ denominators are "partners HIV positive" and "children HIV positive"

▶"family member reach per index patient" was calculated by taking total reached and dividing by the index N

▶▶family member tests per index patient was calculated by taking total tested and dividing by the index N

** Confidence intervals around proportions were calculated using binomial exact distribution; confidence intervals for means calculated were based on Student's T distribution.
