The goal of this pilot study is to gather and analyze qualitative data from focus groups with Transgender men who have sex with men (TMSM) to learn more about the life experiences unique to TMSM that influence their attitudes and beliefs about HIV risk, as well as to better understand the intersections of these specific sexual and gender identities.
The goal of this study is to increase HIV and syphilis testing and linkage to care, increase condom use, and promote PrEP uptake among sexual minority men (SMM) and American Indian (AI) men in rural Oklahoma, a state that is an Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) priority state. The proposed supplement aims to: refine our preliminary intervention strategy in partnership with a Community Advisory Board (CAB) and rural peer mentors, and to assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of the e-HERO intervention.
Systematic, continuative collection of clinical and laboratory data on patients followed at lnfectious Diseases Unit of the IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, receiving long-acting ART (Phase IV, single-center, prospective, cohort study) PRIMARY ENDOPOINT: Treatment failure over 48 weeks, defined as virological failure (VF) or therapy discontinuation for any reason (TD) SECONDARY ENDPOINTS: Clinical and pharmacological determinants of efficacy, tolerability, toxicity Modifications in risk and incidence of comorbidities Description of drug-resistance in case of VR Efficacy of rescue regimens in case of VF Quality of life and patient's satisfaction
This study will test the effectiveness, implementation outcomes, and cost effectiveness of a community-tailored, harm reduction kiosk in reducing HIV, hepatitis C, and overdose risk behavior in rural Appalachia. The proposed project will take place in two counties in Appalachian Kentucky, an epicenter for the intertwined national crises of injection drug use, overdoses, and hepatitis C.
The investigators will examine whether a combination of at-home nucleic acid amplification tests, on-demand telemedicine, and delivery of prescriptions such as Paxlovid quickly after testing positive for COVID-19, can reduce severe outcomes and hospitalization of immunocompromised patients and those who are 65 years and older. They will also analyze whether these efforts lower the cost of care compared to standard of care.
The objective of this study is to understand the effects of HIV cure strategies on the virus and immune cells that reside within the gastrointestinal tract. Subjects receiving therapies with the potential for HIV cure will undergo a colonoscopy to obtain gastrointestinal tissue for research assays. This study will test whether receiving these therapies will induce changes in the immune cells in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce the tissue-associated HIV viral levels.
The overall objective is to evaluate the efficacy of educational text messages to reduce cardiovascular risk among persons living with HIV (PLWH).
Prospective, non-equality, cohort study, where investigators propose to analyze humoral and cellular immunity after two doses of SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccines in HIV-infected participants severely immunosuppressed. A total of 92 HIV-infected subjects over 18 years old with ≤200 CD4/μl (experimental group; n=46) and ≥ 350 CD4/μl (as control group; n=46) who have completed two doses vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 will be included in the study. Primary Objectives: - To analyze the percentage of participants with SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG after 1, 6, and 12 months after vaccination in subjects with ≤200 vs ≥350 CD4/μL by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2. Roche Diagnostics). - To analyze the percentage of subjects with specific T and memory B lymphocyte response against SARS-CoV-2 after 1, 6, and 12 months after vaccination with <200 vs ≥350 CD4/μL. Multiparametric flow cytometry in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) will be performed to detect the production of cytokines (IL-2, TNF-α and IFN-γ), cytolytic (perforin and granzyme B) and degranulation (CD107a) molecules from T cells, as well as to identify memory B cells specific to SARS-CoV-2 IgG+. Secondary Objectives: To analyze in participants with <200 vs ≥350 CD4/μl after 1, 6, and 12 months after vaccination: - Quantification of specific IgG titers against SARS-CoV-2 - The association of the T response to SARS-CoV-2 with humoral response parameters. - The association of the T response against SARS-CoV-2 with other parameters of immune activation, inflammation and immunosenescence. The phenotypes of maturation (CD45RA and CD27), activation (HLA-DR and CD38), senescence (CD57+CD28-) and markers of immune exhaustion (TIGIT, LAG-3, TIM-3 and PD-1) in CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes T will be determined by multiparametric flow cytometry.
This is a prospective, adaptive, randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of 4 intervention arms on a combined endpoint in adults with confirmed MDR-TB HIV initiating Bedaquiline-containing MDR-TB treatment regimens and on ART (integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based fixed dose combination therapy) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Interventions arms include: enhanced standard of care; psychosocial support; mHealth using cellular-enabled electronic dose monitoring; combined mHealth psychosocial support. Level of support will be adjusted using a differentiated service delivery (DSD)- informed assessment of treatment support needs.
