About the UCLA-CDU CFAR
The Mission of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)-Charles Drew University (CDU) CFAR is to stop HIV in Los Angeles County and beyond through engaging diverse researchers with multidisciplinary perspectives. The UCLA-CDU CFAR will strengthen and amplify the impact of existing research activities and launch new partnerships across Los Angeles and globally through our focus on three themes:
We will STOP HIV by
- preventing new HIV infections (Prevention)
- reducing morbidity among people living with HIV (Treatment) and
- developing strategies for eradication (ART-free Remission).
