In brief
This Coordinated Action takes a multidisciplinary approach to a wide range of research topics in public health, HIV, sexual health and hepatitis, in France and internationally. To do this, it is composed of seven thematic workgroups.
Activities
In 2022 its thematic scope was broadened and its operational structure renewed. Thus, in addition to their scientific facilitation and knowledge-sharing activities, its thematic workgroups also aim to bring about major structuring, interdisciplinary and inter-team projects for their workgroups in the North and South.
