Since opening in 2005 as a site to study the spread of HIV, nearly 5,000 Angelenos have come to the UCLA Vine Street Clinic in Hollywood to participate in research and receive essential care and support.

The UCLA Vine Street Clinic was established in 2005 to study the spread of HIV among groups of methamphetamine users. Today, the site serves as a location for clinical trials, behavioral research and to provide direct services to treat addiction and offer HIV prevention. Located in a transitional neighborhood of Los Angeles that is designated as medically underserved, UCLA Vine Street Clinic includes exam and counseling rooms for patient care, a lab for collection and storage of biological samples and group meeting space. By conducting its work so close to where its patient population lives, Vine Street Clinic endeavors to reach those most in need.
