Our Mission
NeuroHIV-related complications, including difficulties with memory, cognition, and related clinical conditions like depression, contribute significantly to the health burdens of HIV infection. These complications disproportionately impact communities of color and racial and ethnic minorities who have historically had less access to health care and experience the impacts of social determinants of health. The National HIV/AIDS Strategy and the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative call for us to reduce HIV-related health disparities and inequities.
To this end, the Comprehensive NeuroHIV Center (CNHC) has developed the new Community Partnership and Disparities Core (CPDC). This new core creates partnerships between community providers, individuals living with HIV, and NeuroHIV researchers to create bi-directional communication channels that can inform NeuroHIV science, engage impacted communities in NeuroHIV research, and mitigate the health disparities seen in NeuroHIV complications.
Our Goals
1. To build community partnerships to foster community-engaged NeuroHIV research, from study design to dissemination and communication
2. To support interdisciplinary, biopsychosocial research on neuroHIV disparities, which is responsive to the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative
