Abstract

The ANRS Cohort 1215 brought together the first 400 patients receiving antiretroviral treatments through the government program for ARV treatment in Senegal. These people, infected with HIV-1, began their treatment between 1998 and 2002; they were treated with 2 NRTI + 1 PI or NNRTI. This prospective observational cohort received follow-up over the course of 12 years, from 1999 to 2010, and was one of the earliest established cohorts in Africa and providing the longest duration of ART follow-up. A series of interdisciplinary studies was conducted among these patients to assess the medical and social as well as the individual and collective impact of these treatments over the long term. This article presents the cohort’s key methodological characteristics.

Résumé

La cohorte ANRS 1215 a regroupé les 400 premiers patients recevant des traitements antirétroviraux à travers le programme gouvernemental de traitement par les ARV du Sénégal. Ces personnes, infectées par le VIH-1, ont débuté leur traitement entre 1998 et 2002 ; elles ont été traitées par 2 NRTI + 1 PI ou NNRTI. Cette cohorte observationnelle prospective a été suivie sur une durée totale de 12 ans, de 1999 à 2010 ; c’est l’une des plus anciennes en Afrique offrant la plus longue durée de suivi sous ARV. Un ensemble de recherches pluridisciplinaires a été réalisé auprès de ces patients afin d’évaluer l’impact médical et social, individuel et collectif, des traitements à long terme. Cet article présente les principales caractéristiques méthodologiques de la cohorte.
