Research Karolinska Institute - HIV Anxiety and Adherence

[Guest guest]

INVITATION TO JOIN OUR PROJECT

Hi, my name is Vinoth Manoharan, research assistant at the Karolinska

Institutet (Stockholm, Sweden). In this research project, we aim to

examine the use of HIV-related forums and social networking sites by

people living with HIV and who are already on antiretroviral therapy.

If you agree to participate in this study, you click on the link at the end of

this text and you will be sent to an online survey, composed of 10-12 questions

that ask about your use of HIV-related online support groups, adherence to

antiretroviral therapy, and your level of anxiety.

We estimate duration of less than 5 minutes to fill out the survey.

Participation in this survey is voluntary and anonymous. No personal

information will be collected from you and no online tracking will be

used to identify you. You may stop participating at any time if you do

not want to continue with the survey. All information collected during

the course of the study will be completely confidential. This study has been

approved by the Regional Ethics Committee in Sweden and by the

moderator/administrator of this forum.

If you have any questions regarding the study you can contact me at
