Introduction to Clinical Trials

What is a Clinical Trial?

A clinical trial is a research study in human volunteers that tests and evaluates the safety and effectiveness of potential treatments. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find HIV treatments that work and that may improve your health. Learn more about HIV AIDS clinical trials.

At Beth Israel, a team of dedicated and skilled clinicians is working on a number of clinical trials for HIV. You can be a part of this team! Many questions about HIV remain unanswered. One important way to get those answers is by entering research studies known as Clinical Trials.

Choosing to participate in a clinical trial is an important personal decision. It is often helpful to talk to your health care provider, family members, friends, or other people who have participated in a trial to help you decide whether joining a trial is right for you. You will find the answers to many of your questions in our Frequently Asked Questions About HIV AIDS Clinical Trials.
