How long will it take?
If you are randomized to the education program, completing the program may take up to 2-4 weeks. The study for most participants is at most two years in length.

What do I have to do?
First, you will complete a brief eligibility screener. If eligible, couples will complete a brief confirmation phone call before being sent their baseline survey; individuals participating alone will skip the phone call and be emailed their baseline survey in a few days. Once the baseline survey is completed and final eligibility is verified, participants will be sent free at-home STI and HIV tests. Once completed participants will receive $50 each.
Next you will be randomly selected to receive the online education or be sent our list of community resources. If selected to the online education, you will complete 4 modules and couples will receive two online coaching sessions.At 6 months we will follow up with another survey and $30.
Then at 12 months participants will receive the survey and free at-home STI and HIV testing for $50.
At 18 months its just the survey again and another $30.
Finally, at 24 months, you will get your final survey and you’re the free at-home STI and HIV testing and final $50.
