    Abstract

    The Swiss HIV Cohort Study (SHCS) integrates networks at several different levels. Initiated as a national collaboration of five University and a Cantonal hospital the SHCS currently also integrates numerous regional hospitals and specialized physicians in private practice. The standardized anonymous data collection allowed a variety of scientific projects--even beyond strictly medical domains such as psychosocial and legal aspects. Although the SHCS is one of the largest HIV cohorts worldwide some important medical questions cannot readily be answered without collaborating in international networks. These networks on different levels facilitate an efficient information exchange aimed at an optimal and standardized care of patients with HIV and AIDS in Switzerland.
