The Perinatal HIV Research Unit (PHRU), an award-winning unit, is one of the largest AIDS research centres in Africa and based at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital. The early research focus on prevention of mother to child transmission has expanded and PHRU now leads studies on many different aspects of HIV prevention, treatment and care, including medical and social research.
