*If participants are not reached at the time of a telephone call, the contact schedule is intensified by turning the next designated SMS reminder into a phone call. For example, if a subject is not reached at the week 1 phone call, the week 1.5 SMS becomes a phone call. The contact schedule differs slightly by study site, based on the site-specific time to return for CD4 count results.

HSN calls subject’s alternative contacts if the subject is still unreachable.

Participants are considered unreachable if the HSN still cannot contact them.
