Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of providing two levels of psychosocial support along with buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP) maintenance to opioid dependent patients receiving their care in an HIV clinical care setting.
This is a sample-size-limited, randomized, blinded (subject and evaluator), sham acupuncture/placebo moxibustion (sham acu/placebo moxa) controlled clinical trial. The subjects in this study will be 50 men and women with HIV infection who have a diagnosis of distal symmetric peripheral neuropathy (DSP). Subjects will be randomized to one of two experimental intervention conditions: - Condition 1: subjects receive acu/moxa treatment; and - Condition 2 (Control Group): subjects receive sham acu/placebo moxa. All subjects in Conditions 1 and 2 will attend 16 scheduled sessions over 15 weeks, be administered the same instruments, and submit their daily symptom diaries for analysis. There will be six weeks of twice weekly treatment sessions, and three follow-up sessions at weeks 9, 11, and 15. All conditions will be identical in duration and be administered by licensed acupuncturists trained in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
The purpose of this study is to gather information on the safety and immunogenicity of an investigational smallpox vaccine in HIV infected populations. Subjects will receive two vaccinations
This study will determine the effectiveness of the STIRR (Screen, Test, Immunize, Reduce risk, and Refer) intervention in increasing rates of testing, immunization, referral, and treatment for blood-borne diseases, such as hepatitis and HIV, in people with both a mental disorder and a substance abuse disorder.
The purpose of this study was to describe the time course and extent of hemoglobin (Hb) changes and the erythropoietic response to PEG-IFN/RBV (Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin)-induced anemia In HCV(hepatitis C virus)/HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) co-Infected subjects.
To evaluate the proportion of patients with virological failure after 48 weeks of treatment with the combination of efavirenz 600 mg + lamivudine (3TC) 300 mg + abacavir 600 mg once daily as an antiretroviral simplification regimen.
We are exploring the effect that an 8 week stress reduction program based in mindfulness practices will have on the experience of medication side effects reported by HIV-infected men and women taking antiretroviral therapy.
Lay Language Summary: High cholesterol levels are common in persons with HIV infection. However, conventional cholesterol-lowering medications may have harmful side effects when given to HIV-infected persons. Therefore, we plan to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of policosanol, a dietary supplement derived from sugar cane that has cholesterol-lowering properties, to lower cholesterol levels in persons with HIV infection. We hypothesize that policosanol will lower levels of LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) and raise levels of HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol).
Background: Stavudine-containing regimens are associated with a potential for lipoatrophy and dyslipidemia. We assessed the safety and efficacy of reducing the dose of stavudine compared to switching to tenofovir or maintaining the standard dose of stavudine. Methods: Clinically stable lipoatrophic HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy containing stavudine 40 mg bid with a plasma HIV RNA <200 copies/mL for at least 6 months were randomized to maintain stavudine 40 mg bid (d4T40 arm), to reduce to 30 mg bid (d4T30 arm), or to switch from stavudine to tenofovir-DF (TDF arm) while preserving the remaining drugs. Fasting metabolic parameters were assessed at baseline and at weeks 4, 12, and 24. Mitochondrial parameters in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and body composition were measured at baseline and at week 24.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-232632 administered as Atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/RTV) is superior to an anti-retroviral regimen including Lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/RTV), as assessed by an increased brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD), in HIV-infected patients. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
