Center of Excellence on Disparities in HIV & Aging (CEDHA)
CEDHA compares racial disparities in ageing and health outcomes between adults with and without Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The study recruited adults aged fifty and over who were either HIV-positive or HIV-negative and self-identified as African America or White. Eligible adults had no illicit drug use in the three months prior to baseline data collection, and no prior stroke or other neuro-degenerative conditions. At baseline over 177 adults with HIV and 190 adults without HIV were enrolled in the study. Data has been collected annually on participants since baseline.
