Patient and public involvement in HIV research: a mapping review and development of an online evidence map.

Introduction: Increasing evidence indicates the benefits of patient and public involvement (PPI) in medical research, and PPI is increasingly expected by funders and publishers. We conducted a mapping review of studies reporting examples of PPI implementation in HIV research, and developed an online evidence map to guide HIV researchers.

Methods: We systematically searched Medline and Embase up until 18 August 2024, including search terms with variations for PPI and HIV.
