HIV Databases

The HIV databases contain data on HIV genetic sequences, immunological epitopes, drug resistance-associated mutations, and vaccine trials. The website also gives access to a large number of tools that can be used to analyze these data. This project is funded by the Division of AIDS of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Data Dictionary
For users who need detailed information about the structure of the HIV Sequence Database, we now provide a Data Dictionary. Each table and field of the sequence database is defined, with information about the data's source, type, and possible values. 12 May 2010

Cluster Fields
The HIV sequence database now contains database fields that identify sequences from epidemiologically-linked patients. These grouped patient IDs are termed "clusters" and represent groups of patients who share a virus of linked origin. The cluster fields can be searched from both the regular and advanced search interfaces. In the regular interface, look under "Patient information - More patient information". 06 May 2010
