MSM, men who have sex with men.

a

The analysis excludes 93 of 2771 individuals on ART. Exclusions were: missing clinic‐recorded viral load (n = 18); clinic‐recorded viral load dated after questionnaire issue (n = 11); missing self‐reported viral load (n = 64).

b

The analysis excludes 104 of 2771 individuals on ART. Exclusions were: missing clinic‐recorded CD4 count (n = 19); clinic‐recorded CD4 count dated after questionnaire issue (n = 15); missing self‐reported CD4 count (n = 70).

c

50 copies/mL or less (‘undetectable’ or ‘suppressed’).

d

More than 50 copies/mL (‘detectable’ or ‘raised’).
