Investigating the long-term effects of HIV infection and treatment in diverse populations
SF Bay Area MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study
This study is looking to learn more about how HIV affects people over time, especially those in the San Francisco area who might not be getting the care they need, and it invites both men and women to join in so we can find better ways to support everyone living with HIV.

What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding the long-term natural and treated history of HIV infection in the U.S. by recruiting a diverse group of participants, including both men and women. The study aims to represent the HIV epidemic in the San Francisco region, particularly among those who may not be fully engaged in care. Through a collaborative approach, the research will analyze data and support early career scientists, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of HIV's impact on various demographics. Participants will be involved in ongoing studies that seek to improve care and outcomes for individuals living with HIV.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation include men and women living with HIV or at risk for HIV, particularly those from racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds.
Not a fit: Patients who are not living with HIV or at risk for HIV may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved treatment strategies and better health outcomes for individuals living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies focusing on the long-term effects of HIV treatment in diverse populations have shown promising results, indicating that this approach is both relevant and necessary.
