The Women's Ineragency 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 purpose of WIHS is to study the interrelationship among HIV infection, environmental factors, and host genetic factors determining disease course and survival in a heterogeneous population of women. The core protocol tests specific hypotheses and creates a repository of interview data and specimens that are available for current and future substudies. These hypotheses take into consideration advances in understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of HIV infection.
