A) the 2-year PrEP/TasP study and (B) various extended and scaled up 20-year PrEP and TasP interventions.
PrEP dropout rate kept constant at rate observed in study. Prior ranges for all parameters are given in Section 4, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/QAI/B549.
Increased testing among pFSW applied over the duration of the intervention (PrEP/TasP study scenarios: 2015–2017; long-term scenarios: 2015–2035).
PrEP and TasP initiation rates among HIV− and HIV+ pFSW (PrEP/TasP study scenarios as observed: 2015–2016; long-term scenarios: 2015–2035).
PrEP and TasP were available between 2015 and 2017, and impact measured both over 2 years (2015–2017) and over 20 years (2015–2035).
Eligibility returns to CD4<500 in 2017.
All 20-year scenarios involving PrEP are simulated twice: either assuming adherence as observed or assuming all FSW adhere perfectly.
¶Note long-term PrEP initiation rate assumed constant from 2015 onward (c.f. in the study where initiation only lasted 1 yr: 2015–2016).
