HIV-AIDS clinical trials test for the effectiveness of drugs, vaccines, and therapies in treating these diseases. Trials may be aimed at different groups, such as women or children, in hopes of investigating the course of the disease in certain groups. Clinics and research groups often reach out to potential participants through newspapers.
