aRelease of information is sent to the provider who performed first positive HIV test and/or last negative HIV test if within 365 days.

bOral fluid tests include Dual Path Platform (DPP) HIV 1/2 Assay (Chembio Diagnostics System, Inc) and OraQuick ADVANCE Rapid HIV 1/2 Antibody test (Orasure Technologies, Inc).

cVenipuncture whole blood tests include DPP HIV 1/2 Assay, OraQuick ADVANCE Rapid HIV 1/2 Antibody test, INSTI HIV-1/HIV-2 Rapid Antibody Test (bioLytical Laboratories, Inc), Determine HIV 1/2 Ag/Ab Combo (Abbott Laboratories), and SAMBA II HIV-1 Qual test (Diagnostics for the Real World). SAMBA II HIV-1 Qual test was added to the Project DETECT study protocol in June 2018.

dFingerstick whole blood tests include DPP HIV 1/2 Assay, OraQuick ADVANCE Rapid HIV 1/2 Antibody test, INSTI HIV-1/HIV-2 Rapid Antibody Test, Determine HIV 1/2 Ag/Ab Combo, and SAMBA II HIV-1 Qual test. SAMBA II HIV-1 Qual test was added to the Project DETECT study protocol in June 2018.

eGeenius HIV 1/2 Supplemental Assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc).

fGeenius HIV 1/2 Supplemental Assay performed as point-of-care test on venipuncture whole blood if at least one point-of-care test is positive.

gDBS: dried blood spot.

hIncludes DPP HIV 1/2 oral fluid swabs, HIV-1 Oral Specimen Collection Device (Orasure Technologies, Inc), and a Whatman 903 Protein Saver Card (dried blood spot; GE Healthcare).

iIf point-of-care results are discordant, the point-of-care oral fluid and venipuncture whole blood DPP HIV 1/2 Assays are saved and stored.

jAb/Ag: antibody/antigen.

kSTD: sexually transmitted disease.

lGS HIV-1/HIV-2 Combo EIA (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc).

mIf the STD clinic does not order an Ab/Ag test for clinical purposes, the Project DETECT research team will order the test to be performed by PHSKC Public Health Laboratory.

nNAT: nucleic acid testing.

o10-member pools using RealTime HIV-1 (Abbott Laboratories).

pPooled NAT is performed only if participant is concordant negative on all point-of-care tests.

qRealTime HIV-1.

rIndividual NAT is performed if participant has discordant point-of-care test results. Individual NAT has been validated for diagnostic and monitoring purposes.

sPOC: point-of-care.
