Sample details

The Africa Centre Demographic Information System (ACDIS) was established in 2000 and when it was expanded in 2017 it was renamed PIP. PIP was established in South Africa to describe the demographic, social, and health impact of the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) epidemic in a population going through the health transition and to monitor the impact of intervention strategies on the epidemic. PIP includes members of all households over the age of 15 in the original ACDIS surveillance area, as well as the communities included in the ANRS 12249 Treatment as Prevention trial both in uMkhanyakude district, KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.
