The following studies are a few of those currently running in the UK.
Information may change as study enrollment status changes. There in no online resource that this all HIV-related studies in the UK. It is also disappointing that there is no requirement for researchers to list publicly their ongoing studies.
Research centres are encouraged to contact i-Base to list ongoing trials on these pages.
Ongoing studies currently enrolling
A study looking at the risk of sexual HIV transmission between partners where one person is HIV-positive and using HIV treatment and the other partner is HIV-negative. The study also looks at why some couples do not always use condoms.
A study looking at using boosted-protease inhibitor as a single drug maintenance treatment compared to a three-drug combination.
A study looking at the risks and benefits of starting antiretroviral HIV treatment at any CD4 count above 500 compared to starting when the CD4 count is 350.
A database study that has been running since 1994 of people who are diagnosed with HIV when they are still in very early infection.
Ongoing studies in follow-up
A study to see whether an anti-malarial drug called hydroxychloroquine can reduce immune activation in people not yet using HIV treatment. The researchers hope that this could benefit the immune system. NOTE: At the IAS conference in Rome in July 2011 results showed that HCQ had no benefit and actually produced a slight drop in CD4 count. Study results link.
