Missing data: 101 respondents’ missing information on recent testing; 41 respondents’ missing information on ever testing and testing during intervention.

Adjusted for age in years (16–19 years. 20–24 years., 25–29 years., 30–39 years., 40–49 years., 50–59 years., 60+ years), assets index in tertiles and pair.

Note that there were too few respondents to calculate k for current ART use.

ART model is adjusted for pair and average ART initiations per clinic before the beginning of the self-testing intervention. ART initiation was log-transformed for analysis and exponentiated OLS coefficients are reported above.

ART, antiretroviral therapy; HIVST, HIV self-testing; OLS, ordinary least squares; PLHIV, people living with HIV; SOC, standard of care.
