Abbreviations: No., Number; %, Percent; HIV+, HIV-positive; HIV-, HIV-negative; ART, antiretroviral therapy.

Notes: HIV-negative participants are stratified based on whether they resided with HIV-positive household member. Antiretroviral therapy status at baseline was established using first medication pickup date. Participants were defined as being enrolled in ART if their first ART pickup date was before the CHC campaign began in their community. Wealth, in quintiles, was calculated using Principal Components Analysis and is based on ownership of 47 items.
