A member of the AIDS Clinical Trials Group, which oversees research and training in 12 countries, the research team of doctors, nurses and staff provide supportive care for people living with HIV while working to expand the range of treatments available to patients.

People living with HIV can access healthcare services at URMC’s AIDS Center, also located at Strong Memorial Hospital. The AIDS Center has been providing the highest level of care to patients with HIV since the beginning of the epidemic in the 1980s.
