1) Social media has not affected the conduct of the trial at my site. We are considering using it in future to see how people will respond to it.
2) During results dissemination the participants thought that the number of participants that tested positive for HIV during the trial was the percentage of participants who got infected at the site. E.g. 66 women became HIV positive during the trial and they thought 66% of the women at our site got infected with HIV. When we became aware of this, an emergency meeting was held and the misunderstanding was clarified with the participants. Also, this was communicated with our local CAB and stakeholders. We also decided that every time a participant comes in to get the results, we will clarify this misunderstanding so that they were able to communicate it with their peers on the study.
