CHIPS - Collaborative HIV Paediatric Study

The main CHIPS surveillance study closed at the end of March 2021. This website will remain active for access to past and future CHIPS publications and as a historical reference. CHIPS is being replaced by CHARS (Children’s HIV and AIDS Reporting System), a secure online reporting surveillance service coordinated by the ISOSS team also at UCL which commenced in January 2022. The CHIPS team will still respond to queries relating to historical data or ongoing publications but if you have any queries relating to future reporting, please do not hesitate to contact the ISOSS team.

The Collaborative HIV Paediatric Study, or CHIPS for short, was established in April 2000, and is a multi-centre cohort study of HIV infected children in the UK and Ireland.

CHIPS aims to enhance the exchange of information and expertise between centres in order to promote standardised high quality paediatrician-led care of all HIV-infected children in the UK and Ireland.
