The Botswana Combination Prevention Project (BCPP) was a pair-matched HIV prevention CRT to test whether a combination treatment and prevention intervention could reduce population-level cumulative HIV incidence over 3 years of follow-up (Makhema et al, 2019). A total of 30 communities were randomized: 15 to the intervention arm (combination treatment and prevention package) and 15 to the control arm (enhanced standard of care). The primary study endpoint was cumulative HIV incidence, measured at scheduled study visits as time to HIV-infection within a cohort of individuals identified as HIV-negative among a 20% random sample of eligible households at baseline. That is, we have an interval-censored time-to-event outcome for each cohort participant. Since the primary trial data are confidential, this is a simulated data set, which was generated to mimic the BCPP by applying an agent-based epidemic model to a dynamic network of simulated sexual partnerships (Goyal, Blitzstein, and De Gruttola, 2013; Wang et al., 2014).
