HIV/AIDS Research Description
Benefitting from the unique racial/ancestral balance of the Military cohort (approx 45% European American, 45% AfricanAmerican, 8% Hispanic) as well as a setting with open access to healthcare, free medications, generally stable income, very low injection drug use, and a high level of education, this resource allows the program to address goals including 1) improving outcomes through understanding of factors associated with HIV infection and its treatment as well as complications of these, 2) understanding the safety and efficacy of non-HIV vaccine strategies important to the HIV-infected military and other relevant populations, and 3) understanding factors associated with HIV co-infections including STI and bidirectional effects on disease manifestations and progression.
