Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
People living with HIV in North America who are or were part of the participating cohorts and have longitudinal clinical data available.
✕Less likely to help
Individuals not represented in the cohorts or without access to healthcare data may see limited direct benefit.
What this research studies
NA-ACCORD collects and analyzes real-world data from more than 20 HIV cohorts across the US and Canada, using extensive follow-up to understand long-term outcomes. The project leverages clinical and epidemiologic information to address key questions about HIV care, retention, and transmission in diverse healthcare settings. By combining data from diverse populations and systems, it aims to inform policies and practices that help people live longer, healthier lives with HIV. This approach emphasizes collaboration, data science, and translational insights to end the HIV epidemic in North America.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients living with HIV could benefit from improved care guidelines, better understanding of long-term health outcomes, and strategies to reduce transmission.
How similar studies have gone: Previous large-scale HIV cohort collaborations have provided valuable insights that shaped treatment and care practices, supporting the potential for meaningful findings here.
