The study will take place during routinely scheduled ART visits as per Ministry of Health guidelines. Routinely collected programmatic data will be used to assess general HIV outcomes (CD4 response, loss to follow-up, death) as well as collecting study specific data (hepatitis testing, questionnaire regarding risk factors for hepatitis/liver disease, and non-invasive liver scan) to address other aims. The study will be implemented at two sites in Southern Africa (Zambia and Mozambique) with a total enrollment across all sites of 1,900 participants. The Zambia site will only enroll 900.
