These range from studies investigating the effectiveness of behavioural interventions in preventing sexually transmitted infections, to a study investigating ways of improving sexual function after gynaecological cancer in women.
The MRC CTU at UCL also conducts a large number of trials relating to HIV prevention, including the PROUD study, which recently showed that pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in the form of a daily pill is a highly effective way of preventing HIV infection in men who have sex with men, reducing the risk of infection for this group by 86%.

The MRC CTU at UCL carried out a pioneering trial investigating whether giving heroin injectors who have recently been released from prison a drug called Naloxone to carry around would stop them dying from an overdose.
