Fig. 2: Expected change after cure: QoL, sexual satisfaction, and stigma scales.

Y-axes represented the transformed Z scores of QoL, sexual satisfaction, and stigma scales. ^*All mean scores are transformed to Z scores to enable interpretation of expected change. Scores for current QoL, sexual satisfaction, and stigma differ slightly due to respondents who did not fully complete the survey (i.e., only completed sections I and II). Markers represent the regression coefficient from the mixed model analyses and represent mean differences in addition to group means. Gray circular markers represent PIC. Gray square markers indicate elimination. Panels a–c show the expected change among PHIV for PIC and elimination. Panels d–f show the expected change among key populations for PIC and elimination. Black error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Supplementary Information, Supplementary Figs. 1–12 and Supplementary Information, Supplementary Tables 1–12 provide the individual absolute scores transformed to Z scores to enable further interpretation and transparency of Fig. 2.
