Congratulations!
You and your partner are eligible for the Magnetic Couples Study.

You’re on to Step 2:  make an appointment to visit us!  There are lots of ways to do this:
  • You can call or text Robert at (646) 599-5799 or Leilani (646) 588-8449 to schedule an appointment
  • Or you can email us to schedule an appointment:  Leilani@magneticcouples.org or Robert@magneticcouples.org
  • Or if you prefer, you  can complete our online form and we’ll contact you (by your method of choice) to schedule a date and time that’s convenient for you.

Your participation in this study is strictly confidential.
Here is what you need to know:
  • Our office is located in mid-town Manhattan close to all major bus and subway lines (see map).
  • You and your partner will come (together) to visit our office at the scheduled time.
  • Please let us know as soon as possible if you ever need to reschedule an appointment.
  • Once enrolled, the entire visit should not last more than 2 hours.
  • Bring recent proof (within past 6 months) of your HIV status (click here to see a list).
  • If the HIV-negative partner is taking the drug Truvada (PrEP), they need only bring proof that they are doing so (click here to see a list).
  • Depending on what part of the study you are in, we may ask the HIV-negative partner if we can take a blood sample (blood drop from finger prick).
  • We’ll ask you to complete a questionnaire on the computer in a private office. Your partner will do the same in a separate private office. Your answers are private, confidential, and anonymous. No one will be able to know what you answered.
  • Depending on what part of the study you are in, you and your partner may be asked to return for a follow-up visit every 3 months for up to 7 visits.
  • We will give each of you $75 ($150 per couple) in cash (plus metro fare) for each visit.
