Participants will be able to skip questions that they prefer not to answer; if a question on screen is not answered and the participant selects to move forward in the survey, the survey will note to the participant that an item is not answered and confirm if they would like to move forward and leave the question unanswered. The survey will code this response as a refusal.
We thank you for your interest in this survey and appreciate your time.
The survey will take approximately 25 minutes and is designed to be completed in one sitting. If you are not able to take 25 minutes now, we recommend you come back when you have enough time.
Some survey questions are about sensitive topics, and we recommend that you complete the survey in a location where no one else can see your responses. We also recommend that you use headphones to listen to video content, if possible.
As a reminder, here is key information about the study and your rights.
Title of the research study: Choices for Prevention (C4P)
Principal Investigator: Dr. Sarah Roberts, RTI International
Study Sponsor: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of HIV Prevention
KEY INFORMATION
You are invited to join a research study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and conducted by a non-profit research organization named RTI International.
Participation in this study is completely voluntary. You may choose not to take part in the study or leave the study at any time without any consequences.
The purpose of this study is to understand how different features of HIV prevention services affect people’s decisions to use PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, for HIV prevention. PrEP is medicine people can take to prevent getting HIV from sex or injection drug use. We especially want to understand how access to new, longer acting PrEP products will affect people’s decisions.
All participants that complete the online survey will receive a $20 Visa gift card. The $20 gift card may be withheld if it is determined that you do not meet the eligibility criteria, you do not complete the survey, or there is evidence of fraud.
You may be uncomfortable answering some questions about yourself. You can choose not to answer questions at any time.
The study has a low level of risk. The main risk is a small chance of a loss of confidentiality. To help lower this risk, your personally identifying information (e.g., name, email address) will be kept separate from your answers to survey questions and can only be accessed by the research staff at RTI International.

Scientists are developing new HIV prevention products with medicines that are long acting – meaning they last for at least a month and do not need to be used every day or every time you have sex. PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a prescription medicine that will prevent HIV infection if you are exposed to the virus.
We would like to ask you about your opinions of new long-acting PrEP products and about what other features of HIV prevention services are most important to you when choosing to use an HIV prevention option.
This survey will include a set of 11 questions where we will ask you to compare two possible long-acting PrEP delivery options and think about which one you would prefer to use. The options will be described by 5 independent features. Each time you are shown a delivery option, it will have a different combination of the 5 features. You may like some of the features and dislike others. You will need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each option when making your choice.
We will first describe each of the 5 features. The first feature describes different long-acting PrEP products that are in development or have recently been approved by the FDA. We will then present the other features of PrEP deliverythat we would like you to consider.
Please click on the video below to learn more about long-acting PrEP.

As you heard in the video, there are different types of long-acting HIV prevention products. Each product has a different form and is used with different frequency, but all provide protection against HIV when used as directed.
Because some of these products are still being studied, information on possible side effects may not be complete. The most common side effects reported from studies so far are described with each product.
Other important details about the products are also still unknown. To help you make your decisions, please assume:
The products have similar protection against HIV (over 99% reduction in HIV risk).
For all products, you’ll have to come to the clinic for HIV and STI testing at least every 3-6 months.
Evidence so far suggests that all products would be safe to use along side any other medications you are taking, including birth control or hormones
All products may be recommended for anyone who has sexual behaviors or drug injection practices that place them at ongoing risk of HIV exposure, regardless of gender, sexual identity, or source of HIV exposure.
Please go to the next screen.
Monthly Oral Pill
The first product is an oral pill taken once every month. Please click on the video below to learn about the pill.
[Insert video link]
Potential Side Effects

Next, we will describe other things about long-acting HIV prevention products that we would like you to think about. One factor is the type of product, but there are other features that may influence your willingness to use long-acting PrEP. When choosing between PrEP options, you may need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each option. There might not be an option that offers everything you prefer.
In what follows, we will describe the following 4 features of the PrEP delivery options presented in this survey:
Your experience of potential side effects
The clinic where the product is available
Time required for your first appointment
Cost
Please read these descriptions carefully. This information will help you answer the questions later in the survey.
[Page break]
Sometimes people who use long-acting HIV prevention products experience side effects. Potential side effects of each product were described to you with each of the products.
For most people, these side effects are temporary, lasting for a few days, and only happen when they start using the product. These problems usually go away after your body has adjusted to the medicine.
The side effects you experience may be mild (do not interfere with your daily activities) or moderate (make daily activities harder).
Your experience of potential side effects |
|
---|---|
Mild
|
You experience mild side effects, only lasting for a few days after starting the product or getting a new dose. They do not interfere with your daily activities. You do not need to get help from a doctor. |
Moderate
|
You experience moderate side effects, lasting for a few days or weeks after starting the product or getting a new dose. It is harder to do your day to day activities (such as going to work, shopping, cooking, things you do for fun) . You may need to get help from a doctor to feel better. |

Have you ever stopped using a medicine because of side effects in the past?
Yes

Most cost for HIV prevention medicines can be covered through health plans. If you’re uninsured or your out-of-pocket-costs are high, there are assistance programs that can help, but you might still be expected to pay some amount.
If you use a long-acting PrEP product for one year, your out-of-pocket costs could vary. You could pay $0 per month, $25 per month, or $50 per month. This is how much you would pay after any contributions from insurance or assistance programs.
Cost |
|
---|---|
Free, $ 0 per year ($ 0 per month)
|
The long-acting PrEP product could be free of cost, $0 per month. |
$ 300 per year ($ 25 per month)
|
The long-acting PrEP product could cost you $ 25 per month (which is $300 per year). |
$ 600 per year ($ 50 per month)
|
The long-acting PrEP product could cost you $ 50 per month (which is $ 600 per year). |

We are going to ask you a series of questions comparing two different PrEP options.
Please look at the example below, where 2 long-acting HIV prevention options, PrEP Option A and PrEP Option B, are presented in the table.
The first column in the table describes the 5 different features we want you to consider (which product you would receive, your experience of side effects, where you receive it, how long your first appointment will take, and how much it costs).
The second and third column describe the two possible long-acting PrEP options (PrEP Option A and PrEP Option B respectively) in terms of these features. We will ask you to select which of these two options you would use for HIV prevention. If you would not use either, you can select the “neither, I would use my current HIV prevention method” in the fourth column.

Suppose that you are exploring your options for HIV prevention methods and that there are 2 long-acting HIV prevention services that you can use: PrEP Option A or PrEP Option B. Both will provide medicines that protect against HIV, but they will differ in other ways.
In the next 11 questions, we will show you different pairs of possible options for long-acting HIV prevention services.
For each question:
Please consider options presented in each table, reviewing each, and choose the one that you would use. If you don’t like either option, you can select “I would use my current HIV prevention method”
The 2 options will have a different combination of the 5 features. You will need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each option, since there might not be an option that offers everything you prefer.
There are no right or wrong answers; we are interested in your personal opinion.
NOTE: Each participant will be randomly assigned to one version (of 8 possible). They will answer 10 questions from their assigned version. All participants will see one additional question (called fixed choice set).
Each participant will be assigned number 1-8 to participants identified from the screener to be invited. This data will be preloaded for branching logic for this section.
VERSION = [number 1-8] then skip to display questions for subsequent version number.

We would like to ask you more about injections.
Consider that with injections, the HIV medicine in the injection slowly leaves the body over 12 months (1 year) after the last injection. At some point, the amount of medicine still in the body is too little to protect you from HIV, but is enough to put you at risk of getting resistant HIV. (Resistant HIV is HIV infection where the virus has learned how to grow even when the medication is present). After stopping the injection, someone may need to take oral PrEP pills daily for up to 1 year to protect against resistant HIV. This is important until the HIV medicine from the injection is completely gone from the body. We are interested to know whether this affects your opinion about the injection.
How likely would you be to use an injection every two months if you also needed to take daily oral PrEP pills for 1 year after stopping use of the injection?
Not at all likely
A little likely
Somewhat likely
Very likely
Extremely likely
