Investigating HIV infection and its effects on health in diverse populations
Data Analysis and Coordination Center for the MACS-WIHS Combined Cohort Study
This study is looking to learn more about the health of people living with HIV in the U.S. by gathering information from 2,500 men and women of different ages, so we can better understand their health and any other conditions they might have.

What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding HIV infection through a large cohort of men and women living with HIV in the U.S. It aims to gather and analyze data on the health outcomes and comorbidities associated with HIV, particularly in diverse age groups. The study will recruit 2,500 new participants and will utilize a web-based data management system to streamline data collection and analysis. Patients will be involved in standardized visits to ensure comprehensive data is collected across multiple clinical sites.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include men and women living with HIV, particularly those who are part of the MACS or WIHS cohorts.
Not a fit: Patients who are not living with HIV or who do not meet the criteria for the MACS/WIHS cohorts may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved understanding and treatment of HIV and its related health issues.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies involving large cohort analyses of HIV have shown success in enhancing understanding of the disease and improving patient outcomes.
