(A) Inaccurate report of viral suppression means those who self-reported viral suppression but had biomarker-confirmed measure of detectable VL. Accurate report of viral suppression means those who had both self-reported and biomarker-confirmed measure of viral suppression. Inaccurate report of detectable VL means those who self-reported detectable VL but had biomarker-confirmed measure of viral suppression. Accurate report of detectable VL means those who had both self-reported and biomarker-confirmed measure of detectable VL. (B) Accurate report of CD4 means those who had the same levels of both self-reported and biomarker-confirmed measure of CD4+ T cell count. Under-report of CD4 means those who under-reported their level of CD4+ T cell count but had higher biomarker-confirmed measure of CD4+ T cell count. Over-report of CD4 means those who over-reported their level of CD4+ T cell count but had lower biomarker-confirmed measure of CD4+ T cell count. Unknown means those who self-reported “I don't know” to their CD4+ T cell count. VL, viral load.
