"Methods: Adult symptomatic outpatients aged 18–39 years were evaluated by a consensus AHI risk score. Patients with a risk score ≥ 2 and no previous HIV diagnosis were enrolled in a stepped‐wedge trial of opt‐out delivery of point‐of‐care (POC) HIV‐1 nucleic acid testing (NAAT), compared with standard provider‐initiated HIV testing using rapid tests in the observation period. The primary outcome was the number of new diagnoses in each study period. Generalized estimating equations with a log‐binomial link and robust variance estimates were used to account for clustering by health facility. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03508908."
