Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two different anti-HIV drug regimens on HIV transmission risk behavior among SMART study participants.
The study analyzes the virological response in plasma and non-plasma compartments, as well as the degree and kinetics of immune reconstitution in 70 treatment-naive patients with CD4 < 100/mm3, when they receive treatment with two nucleoside analogs (NRTI) plus one protease inhibitor (PI) compared with 2 NRTI plus one non-nucleoside (NNRTI).
The study compares the adherence of 240 HIV-negative subjects randomly assigned to 2 different antiretroviral therapies for 28 days after accidental exposure to HIV.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two different anti-HIV drug regimens on quality of life and health care utilization among SMART study participants.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to assess the effect of Famotidine given twice daily on Atazanavir administered with Ritonavir in HIV-Infected subjects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of, immune response to, and tolerability of an adenoviral vector HIV vaccine given after a three-dose regimen of a DNA HIV vaccine. The adenoviral vaccine will be given into arm muscle (intramuscularly), between skin layers (intradermally), or under the skin (subcutaneously). NOTE: In October 2007, vaccinations with the adenoviral vaccine, VRC-HIVADV014-00-VP, were discontinued. In December 2007, vaccinations with the DNA vaccine were also discontinued. Participants will be followed for safety and immune responses at regular study visits.
This study is a double-blind randomized clinical trial, conducted to examine the effects of multivitamins (including B, C, and E) on HIV disease progression among HIV-positive Tanzanian adult men and women taking highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART).
International studies have repeatedly documented a substantial prevalence of sexual risk behaviors and high rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STI) ranging from 5%-56% amongst long-distance truck drivers ("truckers") living in diverse international settings including India, Bangladesh, South Africa, China, Laos and Thailand. The prevalence of sexual risk factors and STI/HIV in US drivers is unknown. This proposal will provide both qualitative and quantitative data on HIV risk behaviors by interviewing and testing truckers working for established long-distance trucking firms, the sector which accounts for most of the jobs in the trucking and warehousing industry in the United States. The data obtained from this study will be used to inform the development of an HIV prevention intervention for long-haul truck drivers.
One of the objectives of the C2P coalition is the successful delivery of a CDC-endorsed community-level HIV prevention program aimed at changing the risk profiles of youth. This protocol (ATN 041) describes the program, Community PROMISE (Peers Reaching Out and Modeling Intervention Strategies) or MPowerment, and plans for adapting and implementing it. There are a total of 4 interventions that a community can implement.
In the third decade of the HIV pandemic, what was once a uniformly and rapidly fatal disease has been transformed into a chronic illness by advances in the understanding of HIV pathogenesis and therapeutics. As a result, HIV-infected individuals are living longer and better lives. This phenomenon, coupled with a continued steady rate of new HIV infections in this country, has led to the highest U.S. HIV prevalence rates since the beginning of the epidemic. In the past, HIV prevention efforts were separate from routine primary care delivery due to multiple factors including stigma and time constraints. Recent events, including increases in sexually transmitted disease (STD) rates among HIV-infected persons and evidence that infected individuals can be super-infected by HIV strains resistant to antiretroviral therapy, have inspired the SPNS program initiative to develop demonstration projects for interventions to reduce risky sexual exposures among HIV-infected patients receiving primary care.
