This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) is a longitudinal, multicenter study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to investigate the impact of HIV infection in women. The WIHS collaborative study group includes six clinical consortia in Bronx/Manhattan, Brooklyn, Chicago, Washington, DC, San Francisco Bay Area, and Los Angeles/Hawaii. Participants infected with or at risk for HIV were enrolled in the WIHS between October 1, 1994 and November 15, 1995 after being recruited from HIV primary care and hospital-based clinics, research programs, community outreach sites, support groups, drug rehabilitation programs, HIV testing sites, and referrals from enrolled participants. An additionally 1000 women were enrolled between 2001 and 2002. The Mt. Sinai WIHS is a subsite of the NYC/Bronx WIHS Consortium which also includes Montefiore Medical Center. The purpose of WIHS is to study the interrelationship among HIV infection, environmental factors, and host genetic factors determining disease course and and survival in a heterogeneous population of women. The WIHS includes multisite and core studies and siet-specific substudies. One such substudy is the Cardiovascular Substudy. The specific aims of the WIHS Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Substudy relate to subclinical atherosclerosis, CVD risk factors, and CVD events among HIV-infected and HIV at-risk women. The study is longitudinal observational study to compare rates of progression of sub-clinical atherosclerosis, assessed using serial measures of carotid artery IMT, among HIV negative women, HIV-positive women not using HAART, and HIV-positive women using HAART for at least the past six months.

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。妇女跨机构艾滋病毒研究（WIHS）是由美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助的一项纵向、多中心研究，旨在调查艾滋病毒感染对妇女的影响。WIHS合作研究小组包括布朗克斯区/曼哈顿、布鲁克林、芝加哥、华盛顿特区、旧金山湾区和洛杉矶/夏威夷的六个临床联盟。在1994年10月1日至1995年11月15日期间，感染或有感染艾滋病毒风险的参与者从艾滋病毒初级保健和医院诊所、研究项目、社区外展站点、支持团体、戒毒康复项目、艾滋病毒检测站点和已登记参与者的转诊中招募。在2001年至2002年期间，又有1000名妇女登记。西奈山WIHS是纽约/布朗克斯WIHS联盟的一个子网站，该联盟还包括蒙特菲奥里医疗中心。WIHS的目的是研究艾滋病毒感染、环境因素和宿主遗传因素之间的相互关系，这些因素决定了异质妇女群体的病程和生存。WIHS包括多站点和核心研究以及特定站点的子研究。其中一个子研究是心血管子研究。WIHS心血管疾病（CVD）亚研究的具体目的涉及艾滋病毒感染和艾滋病毒高危妇女的亚临床动脉粥样硬化、CVD危险因素和CVD事件。该研究是一项纵向观察性研究，通过对颈动脉IMT的一系列测量来比较HIV阴性妇女、未使用HAART的HIV阳性妇女和至少在过去6个月内使用HAART的HIV阳性妇女的亚临床动脉粥样硬化进展率。
