CCASAnet works to understand the HIV epidemic in Latin America and the Caribbean
The Caribbean, Central and South America network for HIV epidemiology (CCASAnet) brings together the expertise and resources of Vanderbilt University Medical Center and clinical and research sites in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru.
The goal of the CCASAnet project is to create a shared repository of HIV data from Central and South America and the Caribbean, to use the combined data to answer questions about the characteristics of the regional HIV epidemic, and to work together to improve the quality and consistency of clinical research activities at all member sites.
