Table 1. Main parameters used in the extended MARISA model.

Rate Description Source/Definition
Rates estimated in the previous MARISA model [18]
γIDk,elig/inel,γDT1k,elig Diagnosis rate, treatment initiation rate to NNRTI Calibrated by fitting MARISA to Thembisa model (see [18]) from 2005 to 2016 (see S1 Text Section 2.2)
γT1S1,γT1F1,γF1S1,γS1F1 NNRTI suppression and failure rates Estimated with individual epidemiological data from IeDEA-SA [19] (see S1 Text Table B)
γT2S2,γT2F2,γF2S2,γS2F2 PI suppression and failure rates Estimated with data from IeDEA-SA [19] (see S1 Text Table B)
γF1T2k,elig/inel Rate of switching from NNRTI to PI (before 2020) Estimated with data from IeDEA-SA and then adjusted (see S1 Text Section 2.2)
Added rates
γT3S3,γT3F3,γF3S3,γS3F3 DTG suppression and failure rates Calibrated with data from NAMSAL study [12] (see S1 Text Section 2.5)
γDT3(t) (t≥2020) DTG initiation rate (from 2020) Same DTG initiation rate as for NNRTI (for DTG-inel. people) γDT3γDT1inel
γIDk,elig(t), γIDk,inel(t), (t≥2020) Diagnosis rate from 2020 (distribution across DTG-eligibility classes) γID1,elig(t)=p1·γID1(2020) and γID1,inel(t)=(1p1)·γID1(2020), for t≥2020 (see S1 Text Section 2.2)
γF1T2elig/inel(t), (t≥2020) Rate of switching from NNRTI to PI (DTG-inel.) γF1T2inel(t)=γF1T2,γF1T2elig(t)=0, for t≥2020 (see S1 Text Section 2.2)
γF3T2(t), (t≥2020) Rate of switching from DTG to PI γF3T2(t)γF1T2inel(t), t≥2020
γS1S3(t), (t≥2020) Switching rate from NNRTI to DTG (maintenance therapy) γS1S3k(t)1year1,t2020
γF1T3(t), (t≥2020) Switching rate from NNRTI to DTG (switch therapy) γF1T3(t)=1year1,t2020
