A recently concluded randomized study in Tanzania found that short-term conditional cash and food transfers significantly improved HIV-infected patients' possession of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and reduced patient loss to follow-up (LTFU) (McCoy, S.I., Njau, P.F., Fahey, C., Kapologwe, N., Kadiyala, S., Jewell, N.P., & Padian, N.S.(2017). Cash vs. food assistance to improve adherence to antiretroviral therapy among HIV-infected adults in Tanzania. AIDS, 31(6), 815-825. doi:10.1097/QAD.0000000000001406 ). We examined whether these transfers had differential effects within population subgroups. In the parent study, 805 individuals were randomized to one of three study arms: standard-of-care (SOC) HIV services, food assistance, or cash transfer. We compared achievement of the medication possession ratio (MPR) 95% at 6 and 12 months and patient LTFU at 12 months between those receiving the SOC and those receiving food or cash (combined). Using a threshold value of p
