Participate

You may be able to participate in this study if:

• You are a man living with HIV (19y or older);
• You are able to communicate in English;
• You are undetectable (viral load [VL] <40 copies/mL) at last blood draw;
• You are on the same ARV regimen for at least two weeks;
• You are able to attend a study visit at a study

You will have one visit split into two parts: a Clinic Visit and a survey.

• Clinic Visit: This visit will happen first at a clinical location such as the Oak Tree Clinic or St. Paul’s Hospital. A study research staff member will review the consent form with you, take your measurements, conduct physical assessments, and ask about your medical and HIV history. Samples like blood, urine, and optional rectal and mouth swab, will be collected.
• Survey: This part of the visit will be up to two weeks after the clinic visit and will include a survey that asks questions about your health, HIV related care, experiences of stigma, substance use and physical/social wellbeing. You can choose whether to complete this survey remotely or at a community site with a research assistant. If you prefer self-surveying, a research assistant will email you a link to the survey.

Participants will receive $30 honoraria for the clinical visit and $40 for the survey.

If you are not eligible to participate, don’t worry! There will be more opportunities to participate in the REDOSE study in the future.

We will be recruiting men and women living with HIV for the second phase of our study starting late fall 2024. Details on recruitment will be coming soon!
