PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Targeted time frame is 12 months post-randomization with a possible range of 10-16 months to account for variable timing of clinic visits.

Population: All participants with a viral load measurement at baseline.

Viral load suppression was defined as having viral load \< 200 copies/mL by the end of each participant's 12 months of follow-up assessment (with a window from start of 10 months through the end of 16 months post-randomization to accommodate timing of clinical visits).
