variable identifying sample
of N=8,551 HIV-negative
participants who enrolled
in the Evaluation Protocol
in year 1, completed 21
follow-up visit(s) in years 2
and/or 3, and therefore,
form the HIV incidence
cohort.
BCPP Evaluation Protocol Data Manual v2.0

infection at study visit.
Variable coded to missing for participants not
included in the HIV incidence cohort.
endpoint_persontime
Derived continuous
variable summarizing the

acquire HIV infection during study follow-up was
calculated as the difference (in days) between date
of enrollment and date of last follow-up visit.
Person-time at risk for participants who acquired
HIV infection was calculated as the difference (in
days) between date of enrollment and the mid-
point of the date of last HIV-negative test and first
HIV-positive test.

included in the HIV incidence cohort.
