BMC's Center for Infectious Diseases offers comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services for adults in all areas of infectious diseases, with particular expertise in antibiotic management, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and travel and tropical medicine. We also work closely with colleagues across the hospital to address infectious-related issues related to substance use disorders and maternal-fetal medicine.

Research
Infectious Disease Research Overview
BMC's infectious diseases faculty are leaders in research related to global health, hospital epidemiology and stewardship, HIV, public health, tuberculosis, Chagas disease, and more. This includes research at BMC's Infectious Disease Clinical Research Unit (ID-CRU), which manages ongoing research studies related to the care and treatment of people with HIV.
Infectious Disease Clinical Trials
BMC researchers are finding innovative new ways to treat and cure infectious diseases. While we enroll any and all eligible patients in clinical trials, BMC physicians are leaders in the enrollment of under-represented minorities in clinical trials.
