About this Page
This page hosts a collection of HIV and HIV-related research at the University of California San Diego and affiliated sites. Progress in treatment for HIV, hepatitis C, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, and other related conditions only occurs with the valuable contributions of individuals who enroll in research studies. These clinical research trials help improve the treatment and management of HIV and other infections.
We encourage you to bookmark this page and check back often, as new opportunities to participate in HIV and related research are added frequently.
