While our ultimate goal is to find a way to eradicate HIV, we are not there yet. No one who participates in these studies will be cured but our current studies are exploring different ideas that we hope will put us closer to finding a cure. There are varying levels of participation from a single blood draw to procedures to receiving different medications and personalized therapies. The purpose of these studies is to learn more about how the immune system works, where HIV hides in the body, what medications could flush out HIV from its hiding spots, how we can teach a person\u2019s own immune cells to attack HIV, and vaccines to neutralize HIV replication.\u00a0Different studies require varying amounts of visits, time commitments, potential risks, and financial compensation.
