North American HIV Care Network
North American AIDS Cohorts on Collaboration and Design (NAACCORD)
This network gathers long-term health and treatment information from adults living with HIV across North America to learn how care affects health over time.

What this research studies
This collaboration brings together data from more than 100 clinics and over 190,000 adults living with HIV so researchers can follow health, treatments, and outcomes for many years. If I join through a participating clinic, my medical records, lab results, and other clinical information may be pooled (with privacy protections) to look at long-term trends. The team links information across sites and uses data science and statistics to track treatment success, complications, and survival across diverse groups. Their goal is to use those real-world data to improve care and public health plans for people living with HIV.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults living with HIV who receive care at one of the participating clinics or agree to share their medical records and clinical data are the ideal candidates.
Not a fit: Children, people without HIV, and adults not receiving care at participating sites are unlikely to be able to join or directly benefit from this network.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the work could lead to clearer guidance on long-term HIV care, better management of treatment side effects, and policies that improve health for people living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Large HIV cohort collaborations like this have previously produced important findings about treatment outcomes and long-term health, and this effort builds on that successful model.
