EuroSIDA Study Group
The EuroSIDA study is a prospective observational cohort study tracking the long-term clinical outcomes and impact of antiretroviral drugs on people living with human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) in Europe, initiated in the 1990s. The study includes data from 118 clinics across 39 countries, with a database of over 24,500 individuals and a unique plasma repository of over 200,000 samples. EuroSIDA is a founding member of the International Cohort Consortium of Infectious Disease (RESPOND) and collaborates with various other research initiatives. The mean age of the entire sample at follow-up was 50 years, and 73% were male.
