It as been brought to our attention that a number of HIV patients have been instructed that that their Single Tablet Regimen or Fixed Dose Combination antiretroviral drugs are to be split up. They will therefore have to take the different antiretroviral components separately, which means from one pill to possibly several pills a day. The explanation for this is the Improving Value from Specialised Care programme driven by NHS England. We would like to understand patients’ views on this and kindly ask you to answer these 8 questions (Takes approximately 5 minutes to complete this survey).

This survey is anonymous. No one will be able to identify you or determine which hospital you access your HIV treatment from. Furthermore, no one will know whether you participated in this survey. Please note that you should complete this questionnaire by Wednesday 5th April 2017.
