Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06252402RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR T cells for HIV: A new immunotherapy study
This trial tests a new type of immune cell, called a CAR T cell, that is designed to target and kill cells infected with HIV. It may help control the virus without needing to take HIV medication all the time.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05985642Recruiting
HIV treatment interruption study for long-term participants
This study looks at people with HIV who have already taken a break from their HIV medications (called an analytic treatment interruption, or ATI) as part of another study. It aims to understand how well the body can control the virus during longer breaks from treatment, up to 96 weeks.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04359186Recruiting
Stopping HIV medicines briefly with close monitoring
This study looks at a planned, supervised “treatment interruption” period for people with HIV who are very well controlled on HIV medicines. It mainly aims to understand what happens when therapy is paused and how to reduce the risk of passing HIV to others.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05509959Recruiting
Tech-based peer support for women with HIV and low adherence
This study tests a phone/computer-based peer support program to help women with HIV improve how consistently they take their HIV medicine (ART). It may help if you’ve had trouble meeting your medication schedule recently and you’re eligible to safely participate.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06480578RecruitingPhase 2
Sensor pill study to improve HIV medication adherence
This study tests a special pill that has a sensor inside, which sends information to your doctor or care team to help you remember to take your HIV medication. It is for people who sometimes miss doses and want extra support.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06856174RecruitingPhase 4
Menopause Hormone Therapy for Women with HIV
This trial tests whether hormone therapy can help manage hot flashes and night sweats in women living with HIV who are going through menopause. It's designed to see if this treatment is safe and effective for this group.

What taking part in a hiv/aids study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there hiv/aids clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 6 recruiting hiv/aids studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a hiv/aids study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a hiv/aids trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
