The symposium aims to highlight and discuss the role of cohort collaborations in HIV research. More specifically, areas of discussion will explore: opportunities offered by these collaborations for public health policy makers, steps taken to ensure that datasets provide the highest quality data and the value of these collaborations for modelling the spread and potential impact of the HIV epidemic. The invited speakers are: Veronica Miller, Tim Hallet, Patrick Sullivan, Maya Petersen, Jesper Kjaer, Annette Sohn, Julia Del Amo and Charles Holmes.
