Who could benefit from this research

Could help

People living with HIV/AIDS or individuals at risk of HIV infection who are eligible for specific trials conducted by the CTU.

Less likely to help

Not all trials will be suitable for every patient; some studies may have eligibility criteria or require specific conditions.

What this research studies

This NIH-funded unit brings together clinicians, researchers, and community advisors in New York City to run and coordinate HIV trials. The effort emphasizes clinical, translational, behavioral, and community-partnered research to address evolving HIV prevention and treatment needs. Participation could involve being considered for trials, contributing to studies through data or samples, or engaging with community advisory processes to shape research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the unit could speed up access to new HIV prevention and treatment options for patients.

How similar studies have gone: Similar collaborative CTUs have shown the feasibility and value of coordinated HIV research in urban settings.
