Filter by:The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and tolerability of etravirine. Etravirine is a type of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) which has shown high activity against wild-type human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), and HIV strains resistant to other non-nucleotide agents.
Evaluation of antiretroviral therapy combining Raltegravir and Maraviroc in patients with virological success, presenting with clinical lipohypertrophy.
The advances in treatment to prevent maternal HIV transmission to neonates have been groundbreaking. As a result, the number of new perinatally-infected children in the U.S. is now small. Subsequent improvements in the treatment of HIV-infected infants and children have been equally remarkable, ensuring that most previously infected American children have survived and are approaching adolescence. In addition, the number of HIV-infected adolescents worldwide is growing substantially in both resource-poor countries and in countries with increasing levels of health care. Therefore, there is a global cohort of children who have been living with HIV infection since birth who are aging into adolescence. Little is definitively known about the impact of HIV infection and its treatment on the maturation process in these children. AMP is a prospective cohort study designed to define the impact of HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy on pre-adolescents and adolescents with perinatal HIV infection. Domains to be investigated include growth and sexual maturation, metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease, cardiac function, bone health, neurologic, neurodevelopment, language, hearing and behavioral function, and sexually transmitted infections (STI).
The purpose of this study is to compare the early versus deferred initiation of antiretroviral combination therapy consisting of tenofovir, emtricitabine and atazanavir/ritonavir in treatment naive patients who present with an acute AIDS-defining illness, namely pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) or toxoplasma gondii encephalitis (TE).
The current HIV treatment adherence project was designed to adapt culturally and then pilot test an empirically supported cognitive-behavioral therapy program for adherence and symptoms of depression (CBT-AD)with HIV+ Latinos living on the U.S.-Mexico Border.
While antiretroviral drugs have shown great promise in reducing HIV replication and thus in reducing HIV/AIDS associated morbi-mortality and HIV transmission, the cost is substantial and side effects are a potentially limiting factor. Development of an effective safe-affordable vaccine is likely to be the best way to stop further virus spread. The study aims to determine safety and immunogenicity of the DNA-vaccine at a dose of 600µg and 1200µg delivered id in combination with MVA-CMDR boost im.
The purpose of this study is to see if individuals with HIV-infection, particularly those with increased belly fat, have abnormalities in the renin angiotensin aldosterone axis. Renin, angiotensin, and aldosterone are hormones that regulate salt and water balance in the body, and they may also have effects on sugar metabolism and cardiovascular health. There is some evidence that individuals with HIV-associated abdominal fat accumulation may have increased aldosterone, which may contribute to abnormalities in sugar metabolism and increased cardiovascular disease seen in HIV. The purpose of this study is the measure renin, angiotensin, and aldosterone activity, as well as other hormonal axes, in people with and without HIV infection, and with and without increased belly fat. The investigators hypothesize that aldosterone will be increased in HIV-infected individuals compared to those without HIV-infection, and that aldosterone will be further increased in HIV-infected individuals with increased abdominal fat compared to those without abdominal fat accumulation.
This study will implement a peer navigation intervention to improve linkage to and retention in HIV care for inmates released from L.A. county jail into the community.
HIV-infected people have an increased risk of developing active tuberculosis (TB). At the time the study was designed, the standard course of treatment for TB was 6 to 9 months of isoniazid (INH).This study compared the safety and effectiveness of a 4-week regimen of rifapentine (RPT) plus INH versus a standard 9-month regimen of INH in HIV-infected people who are at risk of developing active TB.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of intravaginal administration of P2G12. 11 subjects will receive P2G12/placebo. Three subjects in Group 1 will receive up to 7mg of P2G12, or placebo. Three subjects in Group 2 will receive up to 14mg of P2G12, or placebo and five subjects in Group 3 will receive up to 28mg of P2G12, or placebo. A safety review will take place before subjects in Groups 2 and 3 receive study drug to determine if it is safe to proceed to the next dose of P2G12. Vaginal and cervical inspections will be performed to determine what effect, if any, the study drug has had on the site of administration. Adverse event data will be collected throughout the trial.
