Better cancer care and prevention for people living with HIV
Consortium for Advancing Management and Prevention of Cancer in People with HIV
This program runs clinical trials and prevention efforts to lower cancer risk and improve treatment for people living with HIV.

What this research studies
You could join clinical trials run by a large network that tests new treatments and ways to prevent cancers that affect people with HIV. The consortium works with laboratories to study how these cancers start and respond to therapies and uses that lab data to guide clinical trials. Studies are run at many sites in the U.S., sub‑Saharan Africa, and Latin America, and community advocates help shape study plans and outreach. The program also trains new researchers so future studies continue to improve care for people like you.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants are people living with HIV who have, or are at increased risk for, HIV-related cancers and who can receive care at a participating site.
Not a fit: People without HIV, those with cancers unrelated to HIV, or individuals unable to attend participating clinics are unlikely to be eligible or benefit from these trials.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lower cancer incidence and improve treatment outcomes and survival for people living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: The AMC has run over 97 interventional trials with more than 10,000 participants and produced results that have changed clinical practice, so this consortium approach has an established track record.
