The law requires everyone who is participating in a drug study to be provided with information about the study and to give informed consent.  In the informed consent you will be told the purpose of the study, the drugs that will be used, the possible risks and benefits of the drugs, the number of study visits and the tests to be done at each visit. 

Be sure to understand all the benefits and risks of participating in a research study before signing your informed consent.

 When you sign the consent form, that means you fully understand what the study is, how it works, how long it will last, what you need to do, any potential risks and benefits of participation.

In addition, each research study is monitored closely be an institutional review board (IRB), which reviews all aspects of the conduct of the study, including procedures, risks and benefits of the study and reviews ongoing findings to insure the protection of all study participants.  By law, no clinical research study may operate without the oversight of an IRB, which acts on behalf of the Food and Drug Administration

Clinical trials are free of charge.  Each study has its own eligibility criteria and requirements.  Some trials, for example, want people who haven’t taken HIV drugs before, and others want people who have been on them for a while and some studies will enroll either  those who have taken medications before and those who have not.

There is no guarantee that the medication being tested or the treatment strategy being used is as effective as what you would receive without the study.
There may be a chance that the medications used in the study will have harmful side effects.
There may be a chance that the medications used in the study will not work well together.
It is likely that you will have additional health care visits.

What are the Benefits to Participating in a Clinical Trial?
Sometimes you may receive a treatment before it is widely available
Sometimes medications are provided at no cost
Sometimes laboratory tests are provided at no cost
You will usually receive additional medical attention at no cost. 
Sometimes you will receive a stipend for your time. 

When enrolling for a clinical trial, you are not only getting access to the latest HIV treatments and care, but you are also helping to advance our knowledge about how HIV works and better HIV management. 

It is important, therefore, to take this responsibility seriously.
