ALIVE Study
Over two decades of research on HIV infection among injection drug useres, the ALIVE Study (AIDS Linked to the IntraVenous Experience) has become the longest running investigation of its kind and has made a myriad of contributions to the study of HIV/AIDS. Based at the Johns Hopkins Bloomber School of Public Heath and conducted in Baltimroe, Maryland, ALIVE is an observational cohort study that tracks 3,000 injection drug users. Developed in 1987, the community-based study is funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
