Our Mission Statement:  The ARI is committed to education, outreach and patient care while serving as a resource for the community at large. The ARI will serve as the nexus for AIDS researchers to share research and ideas and, together, devise new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of AIDS.

About the ARI:  In 1996, the AIDS Research Institute, an Organized Research Unit (ORU) was established by the Regents of the University of California to coordinate the diverse AIDS research and clinical activities on the UCSD campus. The mission of the Institute, housed within the School of Medicine at UCSD, is to become a regional resource for HIV and AIDS research and information in the San Diego area.

 By coordinating and promoting scientific research and exchange within the academic community and the industrial sector, as well as providing clinical resources and education to the community at large, our members strive to halt the spread of HIV and AIDS through cutting edge research, innovative clinical trials and public education.
