Check whether home blood drops work for HIV monitoring
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether people with HIV can safely collect small blood samples at home using finger-pricks and devices (“dried blood spots”). It may help make HIV monitoring easier and more convenient while on certain HIV medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently taking HIV medicine (for treatment or prevention)
- You are a current patient at the UCH-IDGP HIV clinic
- You can follow study steps, including watching a device-guided, directly observed finger-prick blood sample and filling out surveys
- You are able and willing to do video-observed self-collection using the required technology

This research study collects blood cells from people recently diagnosed with HIV who haven't started HIV medicines yet. Researchers use these samples to understand how HIV affects the immune system and develop better treatments.
This study tests how well researchers can track HIV-related health and immune changes over time by collecting blood and other samples. It may help you and your care team by creating detailed monitoring, even if your HIV diagnosis is new or still being evaluated.
This study checks whether people can collect their own blood sample using the Tasso+ kit and still get reliable test results. It may help make future diagnostic testing easier by supporting at-home or self-collection of samples.
This study looks at tiny cell “messengers” in blood and stool to understand how HIV behaves before and after starting treatment. You may be eligible if you have untreated HIV (or you’re a healthy volunteer) and can commit to many sample visits, including long-term storage for 20 years.
This study checks if people with diabetes can safely collect their own blood samples at home for routine check-ups. It aims to make monitoring more convenient.
This study collects blood to help researchers run multiple projects, including comparing people who are HIV-negative with people who have HIV. It may help advance knowledge that could improve future testing or treatments.
