International collaborations
The SHCS has been instrumental in setting up international collaborations (e.g. ART-CC and D:A:D) for questions which cannot be answered with Swiss Data alone.
Together with the Copenhagen HIV Programme, the SHCS established in 1994 the HIV Cohorts Data Exchange Protocol (HICDEP, www.hicdep.org). This standard is currently widely used for HIV Cohort collaborations.
