[Viva] Fwd: CHIWOS BC Study Update - Open recruitment of HIV-positive women

[Mary Smith]

Hello ladies - for those who haven't taken the CHIWOS survey yet - it is an
easy couple hours with a nice lady - you only have to answer what you want
to and you receive $50. at the end.  It is for a good cause.
