In addition to our Recent Infection study, the Project offers another study. The Partner Study The Partner Study is interested in HIV transmission. A goal of the study is to find out if people with more HIV in the blood or other fluids, like semen, are more likely to pass HIV infection when participating in high risk behaviors. The study is also interested in whether treatment affects HIV transmission and how easily drug resistant virus is spread from one person to another. Eligibility Criteria You must be a sexual or injection drug use partner of a person in the OPTIONS Project Recent Infection Study.

The OPTIONS Project is a research study sponsored by UCSF. The goal of the OPTIONS Project is to learn as much as possible about early HIV infection and how transmission of HIV is occurring. OPTIONS is a study for people in the San Francisco area. ALL OPTIONS PROJECT SERVICES ARE FREE. Updated 04/25/2008 by OPTIONS Project team
