Central Africa International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (CA-IeDEA)
aims to improve health outcomes of individuals living with HIV/AIDS.

Led by investigators from universities and organizations across Central Africa and the U.S., CA-IeDEA utilizes implementation science and clinical epidemiology to identify and address high-priority HIV/AIDS research questions and to identify effective strategies for optimizing HIV care outcomes, including timely diagnosis and care enrollment, care retention, ART initiation and viral suppression, along with outcomes for comorbid conditions, including non-communicable diseases, tuberculosis and malignancies.
