简要总结
This is a cross-sectional study to assess awareness, knowledge, and implementation of the concept of U=U among Thai PLHIV and Thai HIV healthcare providers, as well as associated factors. Data will be collected on an online survey platform called Alchemer. Questions on the survey will evaluate awareness, knowledge, and implementation of U=U among participants, as well as collect sociodemographic information of participants.
详细描述
Recruitment
Recruitment will start with the distribution of a brief description of the survey, along with the link to the questionnaire itself. This will be distributed systematically through the use of the snowball sampling method on popular social networking platforms (such as Line, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter), where 'seed' distributors, who may be categorised into different groups (such as age, gender identity and treatment facility for PLHIV or healthcare facility and type of healthcare provider for HIV healthcare providers), will share out links to a number of friends. Participants will be enrolled into the study once they click on the link leading them to the survey and complete the questionnaire.
Informed consent process
Consent will be obtained by action. A brief description of the survey will be distributed, along with the online link to the survey, which will be on SurveyGizmo. All data will be collected anonymously. A digitalised consent form will be presented to participants before they start the survey, which will outline the potential risks and benefits. All participants will be equal to or over the age of 18; therefore, parental consent is not needed.

主要结局
To study awareness, knowledge, and implementation of U=U concept among Thai HIV healthcare providers
时间窗: 12 months
Questions on the survey will evaluate awareness, knowledge, and implementation of U=U among participants. All the information collected will be kept confidential and anonymous, and participants cannot be identified in any way. Data used for analysis will only include data that is submitted through the online portal. It will be analysed using descriptive statistics including percentage, mean and standard deviations, as well as inferential statistics such as Chi Square test or t-test depending on the characteristics of data. We hypothesised that awareness will be low among Thai HIV healthcare providers (\<50%), and thereby knowledge and implementation will be equal to or lower.

It will be analysed using descriptive statistics including percentage, mean and standard deviations, as well as inferential statistics such as Chi Square test or t-test depending on the characteristics of data. We hypothesised that awareness will be relatively low among Thai PLHIV (\~50%); therefore, knowledge and implementation will be equal to or lower.
To explore factors associated with awareness, knowledge, and implementation of U=U concept among Thai HIV healthcare providers and Thai PLHIV.

Questions on the survey will also collect sociodemographic information of participants. All the information collected will be kept confidential and anonymous, and participants cannot be identified in any way. Data used for analysis will only include data that is submitted through the online portal. It will be analysed using descriptive statistics including percentage, mean and standard deviations, as well as inferential statistics such as Chi Square test or t-test depending on the characteristics of data. We hypothesised that factors most closely relative to awareness, knowledge, and implementation of U=U among PLHIV could be duration on ART, size of treatment facility, age, and gender identity. Among HIV healthcare providers, likely factors of influence will be size of healthcare facility and type of healthcare provider.
