The UCSD Antiviral Research Center is a university-based nonprofit
clinical trials unit established in 1986. We conduct patient-oriented
research and educational programs on HIV and other chronic infections.
Our studies
have pioneered the development of treatments that continue to
change the course of the HIV epidemic. Currently, our top research
priorities include:
- Developing
new HIV medications
- Combating
drug resistance
- Understanding
metabolic complications of therapy
- Testing approaches
to simplifying therapy
- Identifying
and treating newly infected patients
- Treating patients
co-infected with HIV and hepatitis C
- Evaluating
HIV vaccines and immune therapy
- Testing infants
and children for HIV
- Caring for
HIV-infected infants, children, adolescents, and mothers
Adult and pediatric clinical research trials
are open to HIV-positive individuals in all stages of infection.
