Centralized laboratory for studying cancer in people living with HIV
Central Laboratory Core
This study is looking to gather and study samples from people living with HIV to learn more about how HIV might be linked to cancer, with the goal of finding better ways to prevent and treat cancer for those in low- and middle-income countries.

What this research studies
This research focuses on creating a centralized laboratory that will collect and analyze biological samples from individuals living with HIV to better understand the relationship between viral infections and cancer. The laboratory will utilize advanced virologic and immunologic assessment techniques to evaluate well-annotated biospecimens. By collaborating with international partners, the project aims to develop effective cancer prevention and treatment strategies specifically tailored for populations in low- and middle-income countries affected by HIV.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals living with HIV, particularly those in low- and middle-income countries.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have HIV or are not affected by cancer may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved cancer prevention and treatment options for people living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using centralized biobanking and collaborative international studies to improve health outcomes for populations affected by HIV and cancer.
