Brief Summary
A pilot study of alternative viral load testing with samples collected in the clinic and at home compared to traditional viral load monitoring in participants engaged in HIV care. Approximately 15 participants starting ART, or working to suppress a detectable viral load, will monitor viral loads during regular clinic appointments and in intermediate time-points during their participation in this pilot study.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Reliability and Accuracy
Determine the reliability and accuracy of alternative viral load tests to detect changes in viral load in participants starting ART or working to resuppress a detectable viral load ≥ 5,000 copies/mL at last measurement.
12 months
Feasibility of implementing a home-based viral load test
Determine the feasibility of implementing a home-based viral load test in the context of starting ART or working to resuppress a detectable viral load ≥10,0005,000 copies/mL at last measurement.

EXPERIMENTALDuring this trial, participants will have approximately 15 TASSO collection dates between in clinic and at home.
Interventions
During this trial, participants will have approximately 15 TASSO collection dates between in clinic and at home.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Persons living with HIV starting an ART regimen or working to suppress a previously detectable viral load ≥ 5,000 copies/mL
You may not qualify if:
- Persons living with HIV suppressed on ART regimen.
