Swiss HIV research foundation

The Swiss HIV Cohort Research Foundation supports research performed in the framework of the Swiss HIV Cohort Study (SHCS).

In 2007, an anonymous donor from Geneva bequeathed CHF 2’975’000.- to be used for AIDS research. This generous bequest led to the creation of the Swiss HIV Research Foundation, whose primary purpose is the support of research within the Swiss HIV Cohort Study.

The Foundation accepts only unrestricted donations. It funds projects that have been critically reviewed by the scientific board of the SHCS and submitted to the Board of the Foundation. These can include core projects (basic research infrastructure) and original research projects.

Swiss HIV Cohort Study

The Swiss HIV Cohort Study (SHCS), established in 1988, is a nationwide prospective longitudinal cohort study enrolling persons with HIV in Switzerland. It is a collaboration of all Swiss university hospitals, large cantonal hospitals with affiliated laboratories, and affiliated smaller hospitals and private physicians caring for persons with HIV.

The overarching aim of the SHCS is to improve health of persons living with HIV through clinical, translational and basic science studies, and to strengthen collaborative and transdisciplinary research.

The Swiss Mother and Child HIV Cohort Study (MoCHiV) is integrated into the SHCS. It aims at preventing mother-to-child transmission and enrolls pregnant women with HIV and their children.
