Accurate ART use identification is essential for ensuring proper care transition services rather than unnecessary initiation. A point\u2010of\u2010care urine tenofovir (TFV) assay may identify undisclosed ART use in settings with high rates of TB and HIV coinfection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A cohort of people living with HIV (PWH) presenting for routine care, including newly diagnosed and those returning to care, and reporting no ART use within 90 days, was enrolled in a clinic\u2010based cross\u2010sectional study of TB prevalence which tested for TB using sputum and urine\u2010based TB tests in two clinics in KwaZulu\u2010Natal, South Africa. CD4 counts were determined at the time of ART initiation, per national guidelines. A novel urine\u2010based lateral flow assay (LFA) which detects TFV ingested within the past 4\u20137 days was used to assess ART use from thawed urine samples, which were collected concurrently with the self\u2010report assessment.

Integration of point\u2010of\u2010care urine TFV assays into DSD models of HIV care may support providers to engage PWH about treatment challenges, address potential barriers to disclosure and facilitate seamless transfers between clinics.
