The impact of non‐disclosure of <scp>HIV</scp> status and antiretroviral therapy on <scp>HIV</scp> recency testing and incidence algorithms

Abstract

We confirmed significant misclassification of recent HIV cases when not including viral load and ARV testing. Context-specific MDRI and FRR resulted in progressively lower incidence estimates but did not fully account for the context-specific variability in incidence modelling. The inclusion of ARV testing, in addition to viral load and ID-NAT testing, did not have a significant impact on incidence estimates.
