点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The primary aims of the Programme are to study the epidemiology and prevention of HIV infection in both general and high-risk populations, and to establish the burden and risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The epidemiological work of the programme encompasses three major cohorts (rural General Population Cohort, high-risk female sex workers, Fisherfolk cohort), and several hospital-based studies. These cohorts provide a platform for many Epidemiology & Prevention and Intervention, Basic Science, HIV Care, and Social Science sub-studies as well as contributing to wider international collaborations, such as the ALPHA Network (Analysing Longitudinal Population based HV/AIDS data in Africa) and the INDEPTH Cohort Consortium and the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC).
