Filter by:The Luo tribe of Kisumu, Kenya, does not traditionally practice male circumcision (MC). This study will work with the Luo tribe to test the effectiveness of MC on reducing the risk of HIV infections in young men.
This study will test the amount of anti-HIV drugs in the blood cells of HIV-infected patients who are also being treated for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
The aim of this trial is to find out if immune responses to HIV can be boosted in individuals who start medicines soon after being infected. If immune responses can be boosted to the virus, this may allow the body to control HIV without the need for medications. This study is designed to test a new strategy for boosting immune responses to HIV and to evaluate if these responses allow people to have control of HIV without medicines.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a stress management group intervention for people with HIV. The study will evaluate several outcomes, including perceived stress, quality of life, psychosocial factors, and physiological measures of stress.
The study will determine whether a daily vitamin and mineral supplement (a multivitamin including Vitamin A) will improve health when added to standard chemotherapy for tuberculosis. This study will compare the effectiveness of the multivitamin in HIV infected and HIV uninfected patients.
This was a clinical trial in HIV infected patients with tuberculosis. The study assessed whether the addition of prednisolone, a type of steroid medication, to the standard treatment for tuberculosis improved immune and viral outcomes in the patients. The study demonstrated that prednisolone increased the CD4 cell count as was hoped, but the beneficial effect was short-lived and was gone within 4 months of stopping therapy. Therefore, the use of prednisolone for tuberculosis in HIV infected patients is not recommended at this time.
This study compares three different tuberculosis (TB) prevention regimens against the standard regimen of 6 months of isoniazid. It is being conducted in Soweto, South Africa. People who are HIV positive and have a positive tuberculin skin test without signs of active tuberculosis may join.
This study will evaluate whether the HIV vaccine ALVAC vCP1452 given in combination with interleukin-2 (IL-2), also known as aldesleukin, can increase immune system function in people with HIV infection.
This study will evaluate the safety of and immune responses to a dendritic cell vaccination for HIV-1 infection. The vaccine will be made from a patient's own cells combined with small fragments of HIV-1 (made synthetically in a laboratory). These cells will be administered back to the patient either into a vein (intravenously) or the skin (subcutaneously).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and immune system response to the TBC-3B HIV vaccine when it is injected either into the groin area or into the arm. The goal is to determine which injection site is better at producing a particular type of immune response. This study is not evaluating the effectiveness of the vaccine, so volunteers must maintain low risk behavior for HIV transmission throughout the study.
