What this research studies
If I join work from this consortium, I might be offered clinical trials of new cancer treatments or prevention approaches tailored for people with HIV. Researchers also collect blood and tissue samples and track cancer precursors to understand how cancers start and progress in people with HIV. The consortium runs trials at dozens of sites in the U.S. and internationally and partners with laboratories to translate lab findings into better care. Community advocates and people living with HIV help shape the studies so they address real patient needs.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people living with HIV who are at risk for or diagnosed with cancers such as anal cancer and who can meet trial eligibility requirements.
Not a fit: People without HIV or those who do not meet specific trial eligibility criteria or cannot access a participating site are unlikely to benefit directly from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the work could lower cancer rates and improve treatment options and outcomes for people living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Yes — the consortium has completed many clinical trials (over 97) and produced evidence that has already changed practice guidelines in the U.S. and low- and middle-income countries.
