What this research studies
Washington, DC has a high number of people living with HIV, and this project aims to better understand the epidemic's impact on different groups, including an aging population. We are collecting health data from over 12,800 individuals receiving care at 14 clinics across DC. This information helps us track how HIV care is working and identify areas where prevention and treatment can be improved. By looking at both people living with HIV and those at risk, we hope to get a complete picture to guide future health strategies.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people living with HIV or those at risk for HIV who receive care at participating clinics in Washington, DC.
Not a fit: Patients not living in Washington, DC, or not receiving care at the participating clinics, would not directly benefit from this specific cohort.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to better prevention strategies and improved quality of care for people living with HIV in Washington, DC.
How similar studies have performed: Longitudinal cohort studies like this have a proven track record of providing valuable insights into disease progression and public health needs.
