HIV Cohort Characterization Protocol

Details about HIV including age at HIV diagnosis, ART regimen and duration were collected from hand-held medical records during the interviewer-administered questionnaire for CLWH. CD4⁺ cell count was measured using an Alere PIMA CD4 machine (Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) and HIV viral load using the GeneXpert HIV-1 viral load platform (Cepheid Inc., Sunnyvale, California, USA), with viral suppression defined as <1000 copies/ml as per WHO guidelines [17 ].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
