Introduction
This is the 1st follow-up survey for the PFAS and Viral Infections Study. The purpose of this study is to improve our
understanding of the relationship between the amount of PFAS in a person's blood and susceptibility to acute
(short-term) viral illnesses. This includes the COVID-19 virus as well as other viral illnesses. You enrolled in this study
and you completed the initial survey around [enter date]. We would now like to invite you to complete this follow-up
survey that is asking about the time period from (date) to (date).
Remember to look back at your symptom diary to remind yourself of any symptoms you may have experienced in
the time period from (date) to (date). The symptom diary will help you complete this survey more easily!
Please enter your participant identification number located on the Invitation Letter you received at the start of this
study.

Section 4. Viral Illness History
This section relates to symptoms of illness that might have been caused by viruses, as well as
medical care or medical testing you may have received for those illnesses. We are interested
in illnesses you experienced in the time period from (date) to (date) that included fever, chills,
respiratory symptoms (such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, shortness of breath or
sore throat), or gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or abdominal
pain).
For this section, an Episode of illness is one distinct period of time when you were sick or
experienced a set of symptoms. For example, Episode #1 (first episode) may represent an
illness in January and Episode #2 (second episode) may represent a different illness in March.
In addition, an Episode of illness would start when you first started to feel sick and would end
when you felt back to normal, even if the specific symptoms changed during that time (for
example, an illness might start with a sore throat and end with a cough).
In the time period from (date) to (date), have you had any episodes of illness?
Yes
No
Don't know
For the first episode of illness you had in the time period from (date) to (date), what was the approximate date when
the first symptom began:

Section 5. Questions specific to COVID-19
This section relates to COVID-19 or a COVID-19-like illness. The items listed below could have
happened more than once. For each question you answer "Yes", please indicate, to the best
of your recollection, the number of times and the approximate dates, starting with the
earliest, that the item occurred in the time period from (date) to (date). Enter the dates using
2 digits for the month and 4 digits for the year. If you are entering multiple dates for an item,
please separate each by a comma. (Example: 01/2020, 02/2020)
For questions below that ask about COVID-19 testing, please note:
There are different types of COVID-19 tests available. Some test for current infection and
some test for past infection.
A viral test tells you if you have a current infection. Two types of viral tests can be used:
nucleic acid amplification tests (often called PCR tests) and antigen tests. The viral test
involves collecting a specimen with a swab from the nose, nasopharynx, mouth, or throat; or
collecting saliva.
An antibody test (also known as a serology test) is a blood test that might tell you if you had a
past infection. Antibody tests are not used to diagnose a current infection.
Were you in close contact (defined as within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more) with a person who you know

Yes
