In 2013, MHRP initiated a large, long-term cohort study at multiple African sites that evaluates HIV prevention, care and treatment services it supports through local facilities, funded by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). AFRICOS findings are impacting HIV policy and PEPFAR programming, including evidence-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) recommendations.
“AFRICOS helps us capture the broader picture of the overall health of our patients with HIV,” said COL Julie Ake, M.D., the study’s lead investigator. “Researchers are gaining a better understanding of what leads to the best clinical outcomes, which in turn facilitates the sharing of best practices between sites.”
