In optimally managed HIV+ women with undetectable viral loads, who are on HAART and also receiving intrapartum IV ZDV, the risk of vertical transmission of HIV is independent of the length of time of rupture of membranes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate tolerability of darunavir (PREZISTA) or etravirine (INTELENCE) in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) who are naïve to these medications and in patients who have experienced tolerability issues on their current or prior combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). The tolerability is evaluated by switching the patients from their previous or current combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) to either darunavir or etravirine.
The investigators would like to carry out this study to measure drug levels in HIV-infected women that are taking anti-HIV medications. This study will determine the predictors of high drug levels and will assess the association of drug levels and adverse events in women.
This purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between insulin resistance and changes in body fat distribution in HIV-infected persons. This study measures insulin sensitivity, abdominal fat, and intramuscular fat in HIV-infected persons and examines the effect of an anti-diabetic drug (metformin or pioglitazone) on insulin sensitivity and body fat in this population.
The purpose of this study is to implement and assess a behavioral and structural intervention in Russia designed to support and motivate HIV-infected narcology heroin dependent patients (i.e., IDUs) to engage (i.e., initiate and retain) in HIV medical care and ultimately improve their HIV outcomes. The central hypothesis is that an intervention that involves coordination between the narcology and HIV systems via HIV case management delivered by a peer to help motivate and reduce barriers to HIV care will lead to engagement in HIV care.
Approximately 21% of HIV infections in the U.S. are undiagnosed, but only about 40% of all adults have been tested. Thus, late diagnosis of HIV is common, and, furthermore, treatment delays and disruptions are widespread. Heterosexuals at high risk (HHR) are significantly less likely to test for HIV, are more likely to be diagnosed with HIV late, and experience serious barriers to entering care compared to other groups. The investigators research team has studied HHR in New York City (NYC) as part of the CDC's National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) studies. The investigators found an HIV prevalence rate of 7.4% among HHR in NYC, and only 6% of these infections had been previously diagnosed. Further, in central Brooklyn, 10% were newly diagnosed with HIV. The proposed study will use NHBS methodology to target HHR in central Brooklyn. The primary goal of the proposed study is to evaluate the efficacy of a peer-driven intervention (PDI) to seek, test, treat and retain HHR. The investigators will also compare the effectiveness of two sampling methods to reach HHR: Respondent-driven sampling (a peer-based approach) versus venue-based sampling (a location-based approach). The two main study hypotheses are: (H1): Participants recruited by respondent-driven sampling (RDS) will be more likely to test positive for HIV compared to those recruited via venue-based sampling (VBS). H2): Participants in the "Test and Treat: phase of the peer-driven intervention (all of whom will be HIV-infected) will show a shorter time to an HIV clinical appointment, a shorter time to starting HIV medication (when medically indicated), higher rates of viral load suppression, and higher rates of retention in care compared to those in the control arm.
There is a rapidly-growing need to identify evidence-based, safe, and effective co-treatment regimens for HIV-related tuberculosis (TB) among patients who require protease inhibitor (PI)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART). This study compared three alternative co-treatment options among participants in high TB endemic resource-constrained settings, in which one co-treatment option explores if an additional anti-HIV drug needs to be used when patients are being treated with a PI together with rifabutin-based anti-TB treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the virological efficacy of maintenance therapy with atazanavir with ritonavir combined with lamivudine in treatment experienced HIV positive patients with full and stable virological suppression.
This is a study in healthy adult subjects to evaluate the bioequivalence of a Combined Formulated Tablet compared with maraviroc and Combivir administered concurrently versus maraviroc + Combivir. 42 subjects will be enrolled in the study such that 40 subjects complete dosing and critical assessments. The total duration of a subject's participation will be approximately 33 to 35 days, including a screening period (Day −21 to Day −1), 2 treatment periods (Days 1-3), at least a 7-day washout between Period 1 and Period 2, and a follow-up visit 7 to 14 days after the last dose of study drug in Period 2. Each dosing period will begin the evening prior to dosing and extend until 48 hours (Day 3) after dosing. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of the following 2 treatments in Period 1 then crossover to receive the alternate treatment in Period 2: In Sequence 1 (N=21) subjects will receive Treatment A followed by a 7 day washout and Treatment B. In Sequence 2 (N=21) subjects will receive Treatment B followed by a 7 day washout and Treatment A. Treatment A consists of 1 tablet of maraviroc 300 mg, lamivudine 150 mg, and zidovudine 300 mg as a combined formulation after an overnight fast. Treatment B consists of 1 tablet of maraviroc 300 mg + 1 tablet of Combivir taken concurrently after an overnight fast. On Day 1 of each treatment period, subjects will receive study drug in the morning after an overnight fast of at least 8 hours. Study drug will be administered with 240 mL of water. Dosing in each treatment period will be separated by a minimum washout period of at least 7 days between doses. All subjects will undergo safety and other assessments. Subjects may be discharged after all study procedures are completed on the morning of Day 3, with instructions to return for the next study period or the follow-up visit, as appropriate. The follow-up visit will occur 7 to 14 days after the last dose of study drug in Period 2. Pharmacokinetic blood samples will be collected during each treatment period for evaluation of maraviroc, lamivudine, and zidovudine before dosing and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 hours after dosing (total of 16 PK time points per treatment period). Protocol waivers or exemptions are not allowed, with the exception of immediate safety concerns. Therefore, adherence to the study protocol requirements, including those specified in the Time and Events Table, are essential and required for study conduct.
