The Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) provides important information about the changing nature of HIV-mediated disease progression, the impact of antiretroviral treatment, the nature of HIV pathogenesis, and viral and host genetic factors. This study will also assess the long-term patterns of therapy use and risk-taking behaviors.
Patients will have study visits every 6 months. The visits will include interviews, specimen collection, and a physical examination.
