We are asking you to complete this survey because you recently participated in the GAIN study.
We want to understand your experience with getting the point-of-care nucleic acid test (POC NAT). We will ask you questions about yourself, your participation in the study, and your experience with the POC NAT used at your recent visit.
Considering that some of the questions may be about sensitive topics, we suggest taking this survey in a private location.
This survey is completely voluntary, and you may stop at any time. We expect this survey to take about 20 minutes. After you finish taking the survey we will send you a $10 gift card for your time.
Please do not use your browser's back button. If you do, you might have to restart the survey from the beginning. Instead, please use the "Previous Page" button if you need to go back to an earlier question.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Joanne Stekler (206-744-8312) or email our study team at GainStudy@uw.edu.

The viral load cutoff level of this test is 1000 copies of viral HIV. This means that this test will be able to tell you if the amount of virus per milliliter of your blood is greater or less than 1000 copies of HIV. The test that you get in your clinic can tell you if your viral load is above or below a much lower level (often about 40-50 copies per milliliter of blood).

The next following set of questions will ask you about how you take your anti-HIV medications, called antiretroviral therapy or ART. We want to know a little bit about the anti-HIV medications you may be taking. If you are not able to recall an exact number or date when asked, it is okay to give an estimate.
How many pills have you missed in the last 4 days?
Please enter a number.

Please rate your overall anti-HIV medications (antiretroviral therapy, or ART) adherence. 0% would mean that you never take your medicine, 50% means you take them about half the time, and 100% means you
never miss a pill. 0% 50% 100%
