- The study examined changes in the prevalence of advanced HIV disease in sub-Saharan Africa before and after the implementation of WHO guidelines aimed at treating all people living with HIV, regardless of CD4 count.

We performed pooled data analyses from population-based surveys conducted in Kenya, South Africa, Malawi and Zimbabwe between 2012 and 2016.
