HIV Epidemiology and Prevention Programme

该方案的主要目的是研究普通人群和高危人群中艾滋病毒感染的流行病学和预防，并确定非传染性疾病的负担和风险因素。该方案的流行病学工作包括三个主要队列(农村普通人群队列、高危女性性工作者、渔民队列)和几个以医院为基础的研究。这些队列为许多流行病学&预防和干预、基础科学、艾滋病毒护理和社会科学分研究提供了平台，并为更广泛的国际合作做出了贡献，如阿尔法网络(分析非洲基于纵向人口的艾滋病毒/艾滋病数据)、INDEPTH队列联盟和非传染性疾病风险因素合作(NCD-RISC)。

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).
