  1. Adjusted (ORa) odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals (CI) calculated using logistic regression with random effects. Adjusted (RRa) rate ratio and 95%(CI) calculated using negative binomial regression with random effects. Model for HIV status at baseline (N = 1231, DF = 16) adjusted for age, sex, previous TB, level of education, marital status, SEP, and facility. Model for SEP (N = 1235 DF = 15) adjusted for age, sex, previous TB, level of education, marital status, and facility. Model for marital status (N = 1235 DF = 15) adjusted for age, sex, previous TB, level of education, SEP, and facility. The variable facility represents proportion of poor outcomes per facility in the previous year. SEP socio-economic position
