  1. aMeans (standard deviations) are reported unless otherwise noted; negative value favors the intervention except for adherence where a positive value signifies improved adherence
  2. bReported as count (percentage)
  3. dPer (REF) has been scaled to a score of 0–10031
  4. eART concentration in hair available in 77/93; the lower limit of detection for EFV, LPV, ATV is 0.05 ng/mg and for NVP is 0.5 ng/mg
  5. fMissing single item questionnaire response: Baseline, one participant for PHQ-9; 4 participants for SDQ; 1 participant for UCLA Trauma; 4 participants for stigma total score. At 6 months: 2 participants for PHQ-9; 1 participant for SDQ; 0 participants for UCLA Trauma; 1 participant for stigma total score. There is no item missingness at either time point for self-reported adherence
