1P-value for delivery arm versus standard arm.
2P-value for coupon arm versus standard arm.
3Due to an interruption in data collection for the 1-month visits, some visits were conducted >1 month after the first peer educator visit, and thus some participants reported that they had not had an HIV test in the past month but they had had an HIV test since their peer educator visit. Note that past 1-month HIV testing is the prespecified primary outcome.
4N = 682 due to non-participation in the assessment, measured via asking participant to report current HIV status and confirming with a rapid test.
