Figure Legend Snippet: Consort diagram of screening and enrolment for the ENCORE trial. Sixteen clusters were randomized to Visitect CD4 testing versus standard‐of‐care CD4 testing. All clusters received the allocated intervention and were included in the analysis. The average size of each cluster was 100 participants. Potential participants were screened at the point of CD4 testing (which is performed for all who are entering or re‐entering HIV care). However, given the poor specificity of the Visitect CD4 test, 294 participants initially thought to have CD4≤200 cells/µl by the Visitect CD4 test were determined to have a confirmatory CD4 result >200 cells/µl. Thus, we present an intention‐to‐treat analysis and a per‐protocol analysis, where only participants in the Visitect CD4 assignment and confirmatory CD4 testing results ≤200 cells/µl were included.

Figure Legend Snippet: Time to ART initiation by CD4 group among participants who were ART naive. The left panel includes all participants. The right panel includes only participants with a confirmed CD4 result ≤200 cells/µl. Overall, median time to ART initiation, estimated from the Kaplan−Meier curve, was 0 days (95% CI, 0–1) among participants assigned to Visitect CD4 testing versus 7 days (95% CI, 0–12) among participants assigned to standard CD4 testing. In the Visitect CD4 arm, 54% of participants started ART on the day of enrolment; in the standard CD4 testing arm, 46% of participants started ART on the day of enrolment. Among participants with only advanced HIV disease (CD4 ≤200 cells/µl), median time to ART initiation was 5 days (95% CI, 0–10) among participants assigned to Visitect CD4 testing versus 7 days (95% CI, 0–12) among participants assigned to standard CD4 testing.
