What is the goal of MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study?
The Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) / Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS) is a collaborative research effort that aims to understand and reduce the impact of chronic health conditions—including heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders—that affect people living with HIV.
“The MACS/WIHS CCS is an exciting, trans-NIH study of chronic conditions related to HIV infection in this era of effective antiretroviral therapy,” - Dr. Sean Altekruse, the Project Officer at NIH-NHLBI.
