Swiss HIV Cohort Study & Swiss Mother and Child HIV Cohort Study

The Swiss HIV Cohort Study (SHCS), established in 1988, is a systematic longitudinal study enrolling HIV-infected individuals in Switzerland. It is a collaboration of all Swiss University Hospital infectious disease outpatient clinics, two large cantonal hospitals, all with affiliated laboratories, and with affiliated smaller hospitals and private physicians carrying for HIV patients. The Swiss Mother and Child HIV Cohort Study (MoCHiV) is integrated into the SHCS. It aims at preventing mother to child transmission and enrolls HIV-infected pregnant women and their children. The SHCS involves practically all researchers being active in patient-oriented HIV research in Switzerland. The clinics can delegate recruitment of participants and follow-up visits to other outpatient clinics or to specialized private physicians, provided that the requirements of the protocol can be entirely fulfilled and controlled. The laboratories can contract other laboratories for some of the analyses.

瑞士 HIV 研究队列（SHCS），成立于 1988 年，是一项系统性的纵向研究，旨在招募瑞士的 HIV 感染者。该研究由瑞士所有大学医院传染病门诊部、两家大型州立医院及其附属实验室，以及负责 HIV 患者的较小医院和私人医生共同合作完成。瑞士母亲与儿童 HIV 研究队列（MoCHiV）被整合进 SHCS。其目标在于预防母婴传播，并招募 HIV 感染的孕妇及其子女。SHCS 涵盖了瑞士所有积极参与以患者为导向的 HIV 研究的科研人员。在确保完全满足并控制研究方案要求的前提下，门诊部可以将参与者的招募和随访工作委托给其他门诊部或专业的私人医生。实验室可以与其他实验室签订合同，以进行部分分析。
