However, people with HIV continue to have a higher burden of mental and physical health conditions and are impacted by wider socioeconomic issues. Positive Voices is a nationally representative series of surveys of people with HIV in the United Kingdom. It monitors the physical, mental, and social health, well-being, and needs of this population so that they can be addressed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper aimed to describe the methodology, recruitment strategies, and key demographic features of participants recruited for the second national round of Positive Voices (PV2022).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PV2022 was a national, cross-sectional questionnaire study that included people attending HIV care at 101 of the 178 clinics in the United Kingdom between April 2022 and March 2023. Data from the HIV and AIDS reporting system (HARS), a national surveillance database of people with HIV and attending care that is held at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), was used as a sampling frame. The information collected in PV2022 included demographic and socioeconomic factors, HIV diagnoses and treatment, mental and physical health, health service use and satisfaction, social care and support, met and unmet needs, stigma and discrimination, quality of life, lifestyle factors, and additional challenges experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data linkage to HARS enabled the extraction of clinical information on antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV viral load, and CD4 lymphocyte counts. Probabilistic sampling was used to provide a randomly selected, representative sample of people attending HIV care who could be invited to complete a paper or online questionnaire. At the start of 2023, due to under-recruitment mainly due to the impact of the monkeypox (Mpox) outbreak, a separate sequential recruitment strategy was initiated in 14 of the largest clinics to increase participant numbers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 4622 participants who completed the questionnaire, 3692 were recruited through probabilistic recruitment and 930 through sequential recruitment. The overall response rate (measured as the number of people who completed a questionnaire of those who either accepted or declined) was 50%. Survey respondents represented approximately 1 in 20 people diagnosed with HIV in England, Wales, and Scotland. The median age of participants was 52 years, 3428 of participants were men, 2991 were White, and 1121 were Black.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PV2022 is currently the largest survey of people with HIV in the United Kingdom (as of September 2024).
