“Thank you for your interest in the MIC-DROP study, which is focused on learning more about the HIV prevention preferences and behaviors among men who have sex with men. We would like to let you know that funding for this study is provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  To find out if you are eligible for this study, we need to ask you a few questions. It should not take more than 5 minutes. Some of these questions are personal, including questions about sexual activity. Answering these questions is completely voluntary and you can refuse to answer a question or stop at any time. If you answer the questions and we determine that you are eligible, you will then be offered the opportunity to participate in the research study, which includes a baseline survey, follow-up surveys every 3 months for the next 24 months, and HIV and STI home testing every 6 months. If you complete that longer survey, you will receive a $50 gift card as a token of appreciation. Would you like to continue to see if you are eligible for this study?”
