S UPPLEMENTARY F IGURES
Supplementary Figure 1: Number of prioritized and linked cases and percent increase for each cluster prioritization scheme for years 2016/2017. Note that the number of individuals prioritized in the cluster growth schemes is determined by the number of individuals in category RR3 (n≈150). Cluster
prioritization schemes are defined in Table 1.
Supplementary Figure 2: Sensitivity Analysis. Number of prioritized and linked cases and percent increase for each cluster prioritization scheme for years (A.) 2014/2015, (B.) 2015/2016 and (C.) 2015/2016. The number of individuals prioritized in the cluster growth schemes is determined by the number of
individuals in category RR2 (n≈250), instead of in RR3 (n≈150). Cluster prioritization schemes are defined in Table 1.
Supplementary Figures 3-12: Genetic networks for the year 2015 under every cluster definition in Table 1, showing the breakdown by A. Race/ethnicity, B. Transmission risk group, C. Age group and D. Date of diagnosis. The year 2015 was chosen for consistency with Table 2.
