What this research studies
If you join, the Core helps enroll people with or at risk for HIV from UNC clinics and partner organizations into long-term studies. It links your medical records, routine lab tests, and patient surveys with stored blood and other specimens, plus HIV sequence and location data for researchers to study. The Core uses a clinic-based screener to find participants and works with regional and national networks so findings can apply beyond Chapel Hill. Its resources speed up new questions about prevention, treatment, transmission, and long-term health after HIV.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people living with HIV or people at risk for HIV who receive care at UNC-affiliated clinics or partner sites and are willing to share medical records and/or provide specimens.
Not a fit: People who live far outside the UNC/partner catchment area or who are unwilling to share health data or provide samples may not receive direct benefits from this Core.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program can speed up development of better HIV prevention and treatment options and help connect patients to clinical studies.
How similar studies have performed: Yes — long-running HIV clinical cohorts and CFAR clinical cores have a strong track record of producing important findings about treatment, prevention, and outcomes.
