Critical HIV/AIDS Research Initiative (CHARI)
Five leading international universities came together to create 5-CHARI, the five Centre HIVand AIDS Research Initiative. This major international collaboration brought together the combined resources of the National Centre in HIV Social Research, UNSW Australia; the HIV Social, Behavioural and Epidemiological Studies Unit, University of Toronto, Canada; the Centre for the Study of AIDS, University of Pretoria, South Africa; the Thomas Coram Research Unit at the Institute of Education, University of London, United Kingdom; and the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Drawing upon a common set of understandings, work within the five centres is generating a better understanding of the HIV epidemic, and contributing to improvements in HIV/AIDS prevention, impact mitigation and care. Consultatively and collaboratively, 5-CHARI is promoting innovative thinking about the epidemic, its course and development; development of new research paradigms and perspectives; greater recognition of culture, the social structure and human relationships in the context of the epidemic; new thinking about gender and sexuality as they relate to HIV/AIDS; the development of new explanations of relevance to HIV/AIDS prevention and care; and innovation and integration within the fields of sexual and reproductive health.
