There were 4,106 men and women enrolled in the MACS and WIHS studies, and many transitioned to the MWCCS study. Participants come from all over the United States and have contributed over 35 years of interviews and samples to the study. Through sustained partnership with our participants, the MWCCS hopes to continue advancing research and knowledge about HIV comorbidities and to help improve the lives of those living with HIV.<\/p>\n
The success of our study would not be possible without the tremendous\u00a0effort and dedication of our participants.\u00a0In the last\u00a0three\u00a0decades,\u00a0there\u00a0have been significant strides made in the treatment and prevention of HIV. These\u00a0advancements are due in no small part to\u00a0samples and data provided by\u00a0participants in our study and many others.\u00a0These samples and data\u00a0allow us to\u00a0research\u00a0and further\u00a0understand biomarkers of disease, the disease process, and other infections.<\/p>\n
