Declarations
:
: Ethical clearance for the Agincourt HDSS was obtained from the Human Research Ethics Committee (Medical) of the University of the Witwatersrand (protocols M960720, M110138 and M180585), as well as for the clinic-hospital linkage (protocol number M2111157). Community consent was obtained from civic and traditional leadership at the start of surveillance in 1992 and has been re-affirmed from time to time. In addition, informed consent is obtained from the head of the household or an eligible adult in the household at each annual follow-up surveillance visit. The consent process is documented by marking out the respondent on the household roster and recording details of the responsible fieldworker and date. At the health facilities, patient also consent before their records are linked.
