Acknowledgements
For current manuscripts using data collected under the former‐MACS or former‐WIHS, this updated funding acknowledgment should be used. It can be prefaced with any of the following sentences, as appropriate and preferred by study authors:
- Data in this manuscript were collected by the MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS), or
- Data in this manuscript were collected by the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS), now the MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS), or
- Data in this manuscript were collected by the Women’s Interagency HIV Study, now the MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS)
The opening sentence should then be followed with this funding acknowledgement:
