Tracking HIV care and long-term health in West Africa
International Epidemiology Databases to EvaluateAIDS (IeDEA) Renewal 4
This project pools routine clinic records from children, adolescents, and adults with HIV across West Africa to learn how to keep people engaged in care and healthier over time.

What this research studies
If you get HIV care at one of the participating clinics, your routine health information can be added to a regional database that already includes over 135,000 adults and 30,000 children with HIV. The project brings together data from 27 HIV centers in eight West African countries to look at who drops out of care, what causes AIDS-related illness now, and how common non-communicable diseases are as people age with HIV. Researchers use the pooled clinical records to spot patterns and test new prevention or care approaches that could be tried in clinics. Findings are shared with local programs to help improve retention in care and health outcomes across the lifespan.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People of any age living with HIV who receive care at one of the 27 participating HIV clinics in the eight West African countries are the ideal contributors to this project.
Not a fit: People who do not receive care at the participating clinics or who live outside the covered West African region are unlikely to benefit directly from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could make it easier for clinics to keep people with HIV in care and reduce AIDS-related illness and long-term complications in West Africa.
How similar studies have performed: Other regional IeDEA collaborations have produced influential findings on HIV treatment and outcomes, so this approach builds on an established and productive model.
