...New diagnoses were classified as of recent or long-standing duration based on STARHS results; information on history of HIV testing and antiretroviral use was used to classify individuals as those testing HIV positive on their first HIV test and those testing negative for HIV before HIV diagnosis.(29) Multiple imputation was used to assign a transmission category to those reported without risk information,(30) and imputed transmission category values were used to impute missing STARHS results and testing history information....
