After excluding 188 participants lacking HIV testing or history data, 3,197 clinical participants were included in the final analysis. The study is a closed prospective cohort and the first Korean cohort focused specifically on HBPC recipients. HIV testing was added to the SchistoTrack protocol following an observed correlation between self-reported HIV status and periportal fibrosis. The SchistoTrack cohort was originally established to study liver and spleen disease progression in communities with high schistosomiasis burden, not HIV. The cohort spans 52 shoreline villages across three rural Ugandan districts: Pakwach, Buliisa, and Mayuge.
