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- and 6-month follow up visits). Follow up interviews will be conducted with members of the clinical team to ascertain their perspectives on the clinical utility of infographics.

Limitations and Caveats

The global COVID-19 pandemic caused a research pause in mid-March 2020. This made it so that some of our participants were not able to complete their second out of three possible visits. Research activities were able to resume in May 2020 with strict COVID-19 safety measures in place. However, participants' third study visits were delayed.
