[HIV/AIDS competence network research group presents first results].
Germany's clinical HIV research efforts are underrepresented on an international level. This deficit is primarily due to a lack of clinical studies involving patients from across the country and the fact that no national patient cohort system exists in Germany which could provide a basis for such clinical studies. The competence network HIV/AIDS is filling this shortcoming by serving as a comprehensive, nationwide research alliance. The establishment of a patient cohort is linked to 20 projects. The success of this new structure is becoming visible.
