Sexually Transmitted Infections clinical trials at UCSF
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases passed from person to person through sexual contact. UCSF is studying how mobile tools, like text messages, can help people use their HIV prevention medicine better. This research is important for stopping the spread of HIV.
Comparing Mobile Health Strategies to Improve Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Use (PrEP) for HIV Prevention
open to eligible people ages 15 years and up
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two mobile health technologies (text messaging or a mobile app) designed to help people take HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as directed by the clinic. PrEP is the use of a daily anti-HIV medications by HIV-negative people to help prevent HIV infection.

Heavy Alcohol Use Consumption With Kudzu
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Drinking multiple alcoholic drinks on a single occasion (binge drinking), has many negative health risks but interventions to address this behavior remain limited. This double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial will test whether kudzu, an herbal supplement, can reduce heavy alcohol use and alcohol-associated sexual behaviors among sexually-active, binge-drinking individuals at high risk for HIV infection.
