The newest discoveries in the fight against chronic viral diseases associated with AIDS, HIV, and cancers are available at the Institute of Human Virology's Clinical Center. Patients may participate in research projects involving these new therapies. Patients and their physicians work in partnership to determine if and when to participate in a research project. We also provide our patients with information about research projects at other research centers. We encourage all of our patients to participate in the Patient Advisory Board.
Members help shape the program through quarterly meetings.

Bringing the Latest in Science to Patients Institute of Human Virology, founded by Robert Gallo, M.D., is the first research institute in the United States to link basic research, population studies and clinical research in an effort to discover new ways to diagnose and treat viral diseases. Its primary goals are to develop new treatments, cures, and ultimately, prevention of chronic viral diseases. The IHV brings a full range of patient problems to the laboratory investigator, ideas from clinical providers to the lab scientists and, in turn, quick application of basic research discoveries to the patient.
