View clinical trials related to HIV Infections.
Filter by:HIV virus is an etiologic agent of ( AIDS ) immunodeficiency syndrome . It is known that the estimated rate of transfer from mother to baby is 25% to 45%, pregnancy rate is 5-10%, pregnancy rate is 15-20% and in lactation period is 5-10%. Risk factors; maternal viral load, breastfeeding, vaginal birth, and prematurity. Although there is a high rate of false positivity in prenatal screening in our country, one of the factors affecting this is the number of pregnancies.
It has been reported that peripheral and lymph node resident Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4)+ T cells expressing Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) contribute to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) persistence during Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). In HIV-infected individuals, PD-1 expression on CD4+ T cells correlates with HIV disease progression, and loss of HIV-specific CD4+ T cell function can be reversed in vitro by PD-1 blockade. There are only a limited number of case reports describing the evolution of HIV-infected patients with concurrent oncological disease treated with immunological checkpoint inhibitors. However, this case provides very limited information on the effect of pembrolizumab on the HIV reservoir. Here, the investigators aim at describing changes in the HIV reservoir and in the HIV-specific immunity in HIV-infected patients on ART who receive immunological checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of cancer, especially for metastatic melanoma.
This study is a randomized controlled clinical trial of a theoretically based mobile app, HealthMindr, to increase pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake among men who have sex with men (MSM) to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Participants in the intervention arm will receive access to the HealthMindr app, with information about PrEP and other HIV prevention methods in addition to provider locators. Participants randomized to the control arm will receive standard of care. The primary aim for this study is to assess PrEP uptake in the intervention arm compared to the control arm.
The purpose of this study was to examine the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine dispersible and immediate release tablets in children living with HIV less than 12 years of age.
While major advancements in medical technology over the past decade have significantly improved the life expectancy of persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), HIV-positive youth today face new barriers to the treatment of HIV as a chronic, manageable illness. The mobile system proposed will help improve linkage to care through mobile technology support for the case management of youth living with HIV. Results of this project will determine the impact of this system on case management processes and outcomes and have implications for the care of youth living with other chronic, complex illnesses.
The study seeks to enroll 501+ patients to use a HIV self testing device to test for HIV in a blood sample drawn by finger prick. The purpose of the trial is to assess the usability of the device by providing participants with video and written instructions on how to correctly obtain a result from the device.
HIV infection is associated to premature decline of serum testosterone. However, prevalence and biochemical characterization of hypogonadism in HIV-infected men are still to be well defined. HIV-infection is strongly associated to erectile dysfunction in men, but preliminary data suggest that it is poorly associated with serum testosterone in this context.
While advances in medication have led to greatly improved outcomes for people living with HIV/AIDS, less than one-third of all people living with the disease are adherent enough to their medication to achieve viral suppression. Alcohol consumption has been shown to have a significant effect on HIV medication adherence, so the proposed research will aim to reduce alcohol use among people living with HIV/AIDS through a technology-driven intervention. This eight-session intervention will be delivered using a combination of videoconferencing, smart phones, and Bluetooth-enabled breathalyzers for monitoring of alcohol consumption, with an overall goal of reducing alcohol use, mitigating adherence issues, and achieving optimal prevention and treatment responses for people living with HIV/AIDS.
The focus of this project was to reduce alcohol consumption among male "persons living with HIV" (PLHIV) on antiretroviral treatment (ART) at government hospitals in urban Maharashtra, India and factors associated with both these outcomes including depression, stigma, social support networks, quality of life and health status. The project consisted of three phases; formative research, implementation of multilevel interventions and analysis of process and outcome data. The project utilized a crossover design to compare outcomes of individual interventions and the sequences of intervention.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of long-acting cabotegravir (CAB LA) plus the broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibody,VRC-HIVMAB075-00-AB (VRC07-523LS), in adults living with HIV-1 with suppressed plasma viremia.
