Declarations
:
: Ethical approval for the ASTRA study was obtained from the North West London research ethics committee (10/H0720/70). Informed consent to participate in the ASTRA study was obtained from all participants. Basic consent to participate in the ASTRA study included permission to collect the latest CD4 count and HIV plasma viral load values (with dates) known to each participant and these details were recorded in the study log. Participants were also asked if they would consent to linkage of questionnaire data with their routine clinical data for this study over the next few years. They were told that this was an optional consent and that they could refuse and still participate in the questionnaire part of the study.
