RITA, n/N is number recent over total HIV+ tested for recency (unweighted), CI, aOR, controlling for sex and age group. All estimates adjusted for survey designs. Harmonized RITA is based on LAg-avidity and antiretroviral treatment (self-report and biomarker), full RITA is based on LAg-avidity assay, antiretroviral treatment (self-report and biomarker) and viral load ≥1,000 c/mL. Items in bold are significant (p < .05). Percentages, p-values, and odds ratios rounded to two significant digits.

aOR, adjusted odds ratio.
