Filter by:People living with HIV (PLWH) often have poor sleep, which may put them at a higher risk for many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. One of the mechanisms by which this may occur is via chronic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Adenosine plays an important role in sleep homeostasis, with levels increasing in the CSF in response to sleep deprivation and falling with sleep. Peripherally, adenosine, via its signaling pathway, plays an important role in immunoregulation by suppressing the inflammatory response. PLWH, even on antiretroviral therapy, have suppressed peripheral adenosine levels which are predictive of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The hypothesis underlying this study is that acute sleep deprivation in PLWH does not result in a compensatory increase in extracellular adenosine and its signaling peripherally, and this failure to appropriately compensate, leads to an increase in systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.
This is a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel design, study in which 24 HIV-infected participants with durable viral suppression will be randomly assigned to receive vaccination with MVA.tHIVconsv3 (M3), MVA.tHIVconsv4 (M4), M3+M4 combined, or placebo. Participants will be randomized 7:7:7:3 to one of four study arms, and receive study treatment or placebo at Day 0. Each enrolled participant will complete the study in approximately 33.5 weeks (8.4 months). The purpose of this study is to find out: - If it is safe for people to receive injections of two investigational HIV vaccines, called MVAtHIVconsv3 and MVAtHIVconsv4 alone or in combination. - If giving participants these vaccine doses will increase their immune system's ability to kill HIV virus.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lefitolimod and 3BNC117/10-1074 in HIV-1-infected individuals on ART and during ATI as intervention to reduce the HIV-1 reservoir
This study will enrol African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) women who are known to have a more diverse vaginal microbiome, higher rates of bacterial vaginosis with lower numbers of protective lactobacilli, and are at increased risk for HIV. The investigators will evaluate the safety, feasibility, effect on the vaginal bacterial microbiome and changes in local immune and inflammatory responses with the administration of vaginal estrogen alone, vaginal estrogen in combination with oral or vaginally administered probiotics, or vaginal probiotics alone.
The ARBRE Study is an observational prospective trial aimed at investigating the impact of the therapy initiation with INTIs on brain outcomes according to the time of therapy initiation. Three study arms are considered: 1) Early treated HIV-1 infected patients (<3 months since estimated date of infection), 2) Regularly treated HIV-1 infected patients (>6 months since estimated date of infection), 3) Matched seronegative control group. Study assessments will be performed at baseline, 1 month and 12 months. Study assessments will comprise comprehensive evaluation of brain outcomes. They will include cognitive functioning, neuroimaging parameters, and functional outcomes.
The most commonly used illicit stimulant in HIV-infected individuals is methamphetamine (MA). Prior studies demonstrate strong evidence that MA promotes increased HIV transcription as well as immune dysregulation. A challenge in achieving worldwide HIV eradication is targeting specific marginalized populations who are most likely to benefit from an HIV cure but possess poorer immune responses. For this study, HIV+ infected ART-suppressed individuals with no prior history of MA use disorder will be administered oral methamphetamine (the maximum FDA approved daily dose for the treatment of childhood obesity) to determine the effects of short-term MA exposure on residual virus production, gene expression, and inflammation. Measures of MA exposure in urine and serum will then be associated with residual virus production, gene expression, cell surface immune marker protein expression, and systemic markers of inflammation. The clinical trial data will generate advanced gene expression and immunologic data to identify potential novel targets for reversing HIV latency, reducing inflammation, and personalizing future therapies in HIV+ individuals who use MA.
Adult participants (18-64 years old) with HIV-1 Infection on ART with a CD4 T cell count ≥ 350 cells/mm3 and viral suppression for ≥ 24 months will be enrolled on this study. Participants will receive two series of combination therapy consisting of one (1) intravenous (IV) dose of VRC-HIVMAB075-00-AB (VRC07-523LS) followed by 10 oral (PO) doses of Vorinostat (VOR) taken every 72 hours. Each series will last approximately 1 month and the two series will be separated by at least one month. Combination ART is maintained throughout the study. Participants will be on this study for approximately 28 weeks (or about 7 months). The purpose of this study is to: - Evaluate the safety of two series of a VRC07-523LS infusion followed by multiple oral doses of VOR - Determine if combining VRC07-523LS and VOR can have an impact on non-active HIV virus.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fixed dose combination (FDC) bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in adults coinfected with both HIV-1 and hepatitis B. As this is a switch study, all eligible subjects enrolled will be switched from their current antiretroviral regimen to B/F/TAF will be followed on treatment for 48 weeks.
This is a randomized study for participants treated with tenofovir-based antiretroviral drug regimens with a history of suboptimal adherence (detectable HIV RNA twice over the last year). Eligible participants are enrolled, receive routine adherence counseling and are randomized to receive an AdhereTech "smart pill bottle" or not (open label). The "smart pill bottle" quantitates the number of tenofovir-containing pills taken and sends this to a centralized server; if a dose is missed, the participant is contacted by either phone or text. Participants are assessed at baseline and weeks 4, 8, and 12 for tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) levels (by plasma and dried red blood cell spots), HIV RNA level, and adherence using a standardized questionnaire. Primary outcome is change in TFV-DP levels from baseline in the 2 groups.
Public health strategies are urgently needed to improve HIV disparities among transgender women, highly burdened by the epidemic globally, including holistic approaches that address those health needs prioritized by the community. To address this urgent need, a three-phase implementation science study of an integrated HIV service delivery model that combined HIV prevention and treatment services with gender-affirming primary medical care for transgender women was implemented in Lima, Peru, supported by peer navigation to improve outcomes across the HIV continuum of care: regular HIV testing for HIV-uninfected participants and linkage to preventive services; and engagement in treatment resulting in viral suppression for HIV-infected participants.
