Participating in the study involves completing an online survey (approximately 30 minutes long).
You will be asked questions about COVID-19 vaccines (general beliefs and attitudes, willingness to get vaccinated, and concerns about vaccines), and other general questions about COVID-19 (testing, sources of information, responses to restrictions and other government policies, and attitudes about the seriousness of infection). You will also be asked questions related to socio-demographics, sex and relationships, and any current health conditions you might have.
The information you provide will be important in guiding the health sector to appropriately respond to the community’s needs around COVID-19.
The survey will also ask questions about how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed your experience of accessing clinical services related to HIV care, or HIV prevention.
After completing the survey, there will be an option to register to participate in future COVID vaccine research.

The first of two HIV cure research trials has concluded at The Alfred, as researchers continue their search for new ways to improve treatment of the disease.
