Assessment of the impact of healthcare access across tiers of care.

<p>Hazard ratios in Table A compare risk of transmission between couples assigned to clinics in which clinicians on average have between 50 and 100 (medium) or more than 100 patients (high), versus fewer than 50 patients. Hazard ratios in Table A compare risk of transmission among couples living between 5 and 10 km (medium) and more than 10 km (far), versus those living less than 5 km from their assigned clinic.</p
