HIV, a massive global challenge, demands a wide range of actions both to prevent new cases of HIV, but also to relieve sufferings through treatment and support. The HIV/AIDS research group studies a wide array of topics, e.g: HIV epidemiology to better understand dynamics and trends in transmission; finding more acceptable ways of HIV testing and counseling, finding ways of appropriate and more effective task sharing within health systems and sexual risk taking.

All research projects are conducted in close cooperation with partner institutions in Africa and Asia and closely linked with local capacity strengthening.   

The research targets the needs of the population, and research findings are put to use in both policy changes and actual medical treatment schemes.
