Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07461350Enrolling by invitation
Heart health study in people with and without HIV
This study uses MRI scans to look at how stimulant use and inflammation affect the heart in people with and without HIV. It aims to learn more about heart disease risks and may help guide future care.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 30 years+ - NCT07266831RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of islatravir and ulonivirine for new HIV patients
This trial tests two new HIV medications, islatravir and ulonivirine, in people who have never taken HIV treatment before. It aims to see if this combination can safely control the virus.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05642858Recruiting
Learn heart health tips for people living with HIV
This study tests a text-message education program to help people living with HIV manage cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health. It may be helpful if you are 40 or older and can use a smartphone to receive messages.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT07044297RecruitingPhase 3
A study of a new long-acting shot to prevent HIV
This study tests an investigational long-acting shot (MK-8527) to prevent HIV. It is for HIV-negative people who are at higher risk through anal sex without condoms, and who have not used other long-acting HIV prevention before.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 16 years+ - NCT07143968RecruitingPhase 2
Resmetirom for people with MASLD and HIV
This study tests if resmetirom can help people who have both HIV and a liver condition called MASLD (fat buildup in the liver not caused by alcohol). You may qualify if your liver has a certain amount of fat and stiffness, and your HIV is well controlled with stable medication.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04958122RecruitingPhase 3
Antibiotic treatment trial for early syphilis
This Phase 3 study tests whether cefixime can treat primary, secondary, or early latent syphilis. It may help by offering another effective antibiotic option, including for some people who also have HIV (if well controlled).

What taking part in a hiv (human immunodeficiency virus) 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 (human immunodeficiency virus) clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 6 recruiting hiv (human immunodeficiency virus) 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 (human immunodeficiency virus) 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 (human immunodeficiency virus) 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.
