How would i do this? I needed help from some of this grants to put up a big referral lab and equip it with the mordan technology. WHY? These services are not near rural people and if they are, very expensive. How can we come out with a clear stastical data to measure our progress because most people affected are poor? The song will continue!!

Thanks for your comment. Here are a couple of resources that NIAID has suggested:

Clinicaltrials.gov: a search on HIV and pre-exposure prophylaxis brings up a whole list of studies (not just NIH’s, but other federal agencies as well, at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=HIV+and+pre+exposure+prophylaxis&recr=&rslt=&type=&cond=&intr=&outc=&lead=&spons=&id=&state1=&cntry1=&state2=&cntry2=&state3=&cntry3=&locn=&gndr=&fund=0&fund=1&rcv_s=&rcv_e=&lup_s=&lup_e=. Double check to see that you are eligible.

The association of physicians who work with HIV patients, the HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA), may have some helpful suggestions/resources for you. You can reach them at (703) 299-1215 or online at http://www.hivma.org.

All the best,
The AIDS.gov Team

I slept with my spouse when he was very much infected and I have been having spasms in my body and now my doctor said I have tendonitis but my pain moves around in my body and I have been experienceing this since this year and I had slept with him in 2007. I also have night sweats but I got tested like 3 months ago and i was negative. Do you work on any patients who are affected by HIV and are on any trials for meds maybe PrEP? hope to hear from you soon. thanks Julie
