TB: tuberculosis; PLWH: person living with HIV. The denominator for completion includes only those screening positive by symptoms, age or being a PLWH (190 in the intervention arm, 230 in the standard-of-care arm). The denominator for yield outcomes includes all household contacts (471 in the intervention arm, 443 in the standard-of-care arm). PLWHs are also reported with the relevant age subgroups. #: assessed 60 days after contact enrolment; : includes five PLWHs newly diagnosed during home HIV counselling and testing.
