Military HIV Clinical Network
The Military HIV Research Program (MHRP) Clinical Trial Unit
This program runs HIV and TB prevention and treatment clinical studies for adults in military-associated and high-HIV-burden communities.

What this research studies
You would be connecting with a network led by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and the Henry M. Jackson Foundation that runs clinical work at eight international sites in Africa and Asia plus U.S. support. The network supports vaccine, prevention, and treatment protocols from early safety studies to large efficacy trials through partnerships with HVTN, HPTN, ACTG and IAVI. Sites enroll adults and collect medical data, samples, and follow-up visits to test new HIV and TB vaccines and therapies. The goal is to speed safe, effective options to people living with or at risk for HIV and TB in high-burden areas.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults (21+) who live near participating sites and who are living with, at risk for, or eligible for HIV vaccine, prevention, or TB-related clinical protocols.
Not a fit: People under age 21, those who live far from participating sites, or those who do not meet specific trial eligibility criteria are unlikely to benefit directly from enrollment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this network could accelerate access to better HIV vaccines, prevention tools, and TB treatments in communities with high disease burden.
How similar studies have performed: Previous clinical trial networks have supported important HIV prevention and treatment advances, though an effective, widely protective HIV vaccine remains an ongoing challenge.
