SISTER-TO-SISTER POSITIVE HOPE

IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW INTRODUCTION SCRIPT

Now that you have finished the second Sister-to-Sister Positive HOPE interview, we would like to ask you to take a little more time and talk with us about what it is like to be a woman living with HIV and also your experiences with the Sister-to-Sister positive HOPE study.

If you decide to participate in this part of our study, this is what will happen. You will be interviewed about your becoming infected, any risk reduction efforts you may have used and your experiences with them, and any experiences you may have had when/if you told people about your HIV status. You will also be asked to provide feedback about the Sister to Sister Positive HOPE intervention. This interview will take about 45 minutes and will be taped.

Just like in the other parts of the study, all information you share with us will be kept confidential (private) by the project staff to the extent allowed by law. There also are laws that require us to tell others if you tell us that you are going to hurt yourself or a specific person, or that a child or older person is being hurt or abused. In these cases, we will have to tell someone (e.g., local police or the child welfare agency) to protect that person. Your interview will be audiotaped so that we can listen while we talk and at the same time make sure we get everything that you tell us. The interview, the tape, and notes from the tape will be destroyed at the end of the study. If you do decide to participate in the study, your name will not be attached to any of the information you give us in the interviews.

Just like the other parts of the Sister to Sister Positive HOPE study, we will give you $30 and a bus pass for your transportation In appreciation for your time and effort.
