Summary

This pilot study aimed to see if a home viral load test (TASSO device) is accurate and easy to use for people starting HIV treatment or trying to lower a high viral load. Participants would have collected samples at home and in the clinic. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data was collected.
