HIV Health, Equity, and Aging Research (HEAR)

HIV Health, Equity, and Aging Research (HEAR) – we are HEARing people living with HIV and working together to study healthy aging and wellbeing. Our research follows an equitable approach as we collaborate with community partners to best support women throughout our studies. Our main study is the British Columbia CARMA-CHIWOS Collaboration (BCC3), a community-based, women-centered, cell-to-society study. BCC3 brings together women living with HIV, researchers, clinicians, and community partners, with the goal of better understanding how to improve and support healthy aging for women living with HIV.

Cell-to-Society

Healthy aging of women living with HIV is influenced by cellular, clinical, and social factors, which also interact with one another. BCC3 follows a cell-to-society approach to women's health.
