What this research studies
At Emory and partner sites, the CTU coordinates multiple clinical research sites that enroll people into NIH network studies on HIV prevention, vaccines, treatments, cure strategies, and HIV-related co-infections. The unit supports both domestic and international enrollment, including a Clinical Research Site in Mexico City, and focuses on enrolling women, minorities, and adolescents. Participating clinics collect medical history, lab tests, and may offer investigational vaccines, medications, or prevention interventions under careful monitoring. The CTU also works to respond quickly to new research needs and to support studies across adult, pediatric, and maternal populations.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults and adolescents at risk for HIV, people living with HIV (including pregnant people), and individuals willing to attend clinic visits at Emory or partner sites.
Not a fit: People without HIV risk or who cannot travel to Emory or its partner clinics are unlikely to participate or gain direct benefit from these trials.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the CTU's work could speed access to safer and more effective HIV prevention tools, vaccines, and treatments for diverse patient groups.
How similar studies have performed: NIH network trials run through CTUs have previously led to important prevention and treatment advances, though HIV vaccine success remains limited and research continues.
