Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT05719441RecruitingPhase 2
Antibodies plus early HIV treatment to try for HIV remission
This study tests whether giving special HIV-fighting antibodies along with starting standard HIV medicine soon after infection can help you reach “HIV remission.” It may reduce or delay the return of detectable virus, but you must be willing to follow close monitoring and specific study steps.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT06263426Recruiting
Kidney transplant from donors with HIV: impact on rejection and long-term results
This study tests whether kidney transplants from donors with HIV are safe and effective for people with HIV who need a new kidney. It looks at long-term outcomes like rejection and survival.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02140255RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Intensive early HIV treatment in newborns to aim for remission
This study gives very early, intensive HIV medicine to infants diagnosed with HIV and follows them closely to see if HIV can go into remission (stop being detectable without ongoing treatment). It may help families understand whether treating right after birth can change a child’s long-term HIV outlook.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Up to 2 days - NCT05608421Recruiting
Program to help HIV care and safety from partner violence
This study tests a program designed for Black women living with HIV who have had partner violence. It aims to help you stay engaged in HIV care and reduce intimate partner violence, while keeping you safe during the study.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06501781Recruiting
PUSH: Helping People with HIV and Substance Use
This study tests if a program that encourages positive activities (behavioral activation) can help people with HIV or on PrEP who also use substances improve their health. It focuses on those receiving long-acting injectable medications for HIV prevention or treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT06886971Recruiting
Strategies to help youth with HIV stay virally suppressed
This trial tests a strategy to help young people with HIV keep their virus levels low. It focuses on using a long-acting injectable medication combination (Cabotegravir and Rilpivirine) and requires communication with your HIV doctor.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12–30 - NCT00001281Recruiting
Understanding how HIV affects blood cells and body fluids
This research study examines how HIV works in the blood and body fluids of people with and without HIV. By studying blood samples, researchers hope to better understand HIV infection and develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00006518Recruiting
Tissue samples from people with viral infections or cancer
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people who have or have been exposed to certain viruses (HIV, KSHV, HPV, EBV, or HTLV-1) or who have developed cancer or precancerous skin lesions. The samples help researchers understand how these viruses may lead to cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07473778Recruiting
Study of Lenacapavir for HIV Prevention
This trial tests a new medication, lenacapavir, to see how well it works for preventing HIV. It is for people who want or need PrEP (a medicine to prevent HIV) and are interested in learning about different options.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05419024RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging and biopsy during a planned HIV treatment pause
This Phase 2 study uses special scans (PET/CT) and tissue sampling (biopsy) to learn what is happening in the body while people with HIV take a planned break from antiretroviral therapy (ART) for up to 90 days. It may help researchers find better ways to control HIV without ongoing treatment, though joining involves careful monitoring during the pause.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30 years+ - NCT06096324Recruiting
Education and job support for HIV prevention in young adults
This study is testing a program that combines education and job support to help young adults in Baltimore stay healthy and prevent HIV. It aims to see if this combined approach works better than education alone.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–24 - NCT06691243RecruitingPhase 2
Testing semaglutide for cocaine use in adults
This study tests if the diabetes drug semaglutide (also used for weight loss) can help reduce cocaine use in adults, including those living with HIV. It's free and lasts about 8 weeks.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07293559Recruiting
Understanding infant feeding choices in women with HIV
This study looks at how women with HIV decide whether to breastfeed, and what support they get from healthcare providers and family. It aims to learn about their experiences and needs.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Any age - NCT00767312Enrolling by invitation
Study how HIV multiplies during HIV drug treatment
This study looks at how HIV continues to multiply (or stays suppressed) while you are taking antiretroviral therapy, using blood samples. It may help researchers better understand what HIV is doing during treatment and why some people experience changes like viral rebound.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06703060Recruiting
A trauma-informed approach to help Black women start PrEP
This study tests a program that helps Black women start PrEP (a daily pill to prevent HIV). It focuses on understanding and addressing past trauma to make it easier to take PrEP, and is designed for women who have not used PrEP before.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06624839RecruitingPhase 2
HPV vaccine study for people with and without HIV
This study tests how well the Gardasil 9 HPV vaccine works in people assigned male at birth, including those with HIV and those taking hormone therapy. Results could help protect against HPV-related cancers.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT06517693RecruitingPhase 1
HIV antibody safety study for newborns at risk
This study tests whether giving a combination of two lab-made antibodies (PGT121.414.LS and VRC07-523LS) to newborns exposed to HIV during pregnancy is safe and how the body processes them. It may help protect infants from getting HIV after birth.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Up to 3 days - NCT07672717RecruitingPhase 1
Cabotegravir and hormone interaction study for HIV prevention
This study tests how a long-acting injectable HIV prevention drug (cabotegravir) works in people who also use hormone therapy (like birth control or gender-affirming hormones). The goal is to see if the hormones affect how well the drug prevents HIV. If you are HIV-negative, use hormones, and meet other health criteria, you may be able to join.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 19 years+ - NCT07392372RecruitingPhase 1
Testing the safety of BNT351 in people with and without HIV
This trial tests a new antibody called BNT351 to see if it is safe and how it affects the immune system. It is for adults who either do not have HIV, or have HIV and are not currently on HIV medications.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07728123Recruiting
Screen2Prevent for young people in the ED

What taking part in a hiv 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.
