Brief Summary

To complete the study aims, a mixed methods study that includes a single group pretest-posttest study design will be used to pilot test the infographic intervention. In-depth interviews will be completed with a selection of participants to explore participant perceptions of HIV-related communication using infographics. Data will be collected from participants through baseline (at enrollment) and follow up assessments (at 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow up visits). Follow up interviews will be conducted with the providers involved in the intervention to ascertain their perspectives on the clinical utility of infographics.
