Imagine that you want to study people living with HIV. You are interested in the relationship between viral load, the amount of HIV in a sample of blood, and perceived stigma. You have 100 people with HIV complete a perceived stigma scale, as well as provide a sample of blood, so their viral load can be measured. You run a regression analysis using the data you've collected to see whether viral load can be estimated based on perceived stigma.

What is/are the predicted variable/s?
