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 a wide range of 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).
