Improving prevention and care for cancers in people living with HIV
Consortium for Advancing Management and Prevention of Cancer in People with HIV
This consortium runs clinical trials to find better ways to prevent and treat cancers that occur in people living with HIV in the U.S. and worldwide.

What this research studies
This network runs clinical trials and prevention studies focused on cancers that affect people living with HIV, such as anal cancer. It links 39 clinical sites across the U.S., sub‑Saharan Africa, and Latin America with research labs and community advocates to move lab findings into patient care. Patients may be invited to join trials, provide biospecimens, or give input through community advisory boards. The consortium also supports training for clinicians and scientists to improve future care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People living with HIV who have or are at risk for HIV‑related cancers and who can attend one of the consortium's participating sites are the typical candidates.
Not a fit: People without HIV, those with cancers unrelated to HIV, or individuals unable to access participating sites are unlikely to benefit directly from these trials.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the work could lower cancer rates and improve treatments and survival for people living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: The AMC has conducted over 97 interventional trials with results that have changed practice guidelines, so this builds on a strong history of successful clinical work.
