Filter by:This project will pilot test a step-by-step guide for community-based organizations to engage in evidence-based adaptation of interventions previously shown to be effective in research settings for use in real world applications. The main purpose of this program is to improve understanding of the processes needed for adapting evidence-based behavioral interventions to fit new conditions or populations and to pilot CDC-developed draft guidance for adaptation. The second purpose of the program is to increase the number of effective behavioral HIV prevention interventions for 18-24 year old sero-positive men of color who have sex with other men (MSM of color).
The purpose of this study is to find out whether taking certain anti-HIV medicines with certain antimalarial medicines affects the amount of the medicines in the blood. The study medicines that will be used are artemether/lumefantrine (antimalarial medication) and lopinavir/ritonavir or efavirenz (anti-HIV medications). Artemether/lumefantrine is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but is recommended as standard of care medical treatment for malaria in Africa and Asia. Lopinavir/ritonavir and efavirenz are approved by the FDA. Artemether/lumefantrine and lopinavir/ritonavir or efavirenz may need to be used together to treat children in Africa and Asia. We seek to learn about whether or not the use of these medicines together results in a change in blood levels of any of these medicines. The information obtained from this study will help doctors to provide a better treatment to children and adults with malaria and HIV.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of pregabalin in reducing neuropathic pain associated with HIV neuropathy
There is growing evidence that antiretroviral therapy (ART) increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) through metabolic side effects, such as dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and type II diabetes. Prevalence of risk factors for CHD in HIV-infected individuals receiving ART in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study (SHCS) is high. This cluster randomised controlled trial is nested into the SHCS and will investigate whether physicians randomised to the routine provision of risk profiles from their patients receiving ART will improve the management of risk factors in HIV-infected patients compared to control physicians not routinely receiving such information. Risk profiles will be generated by the SHCS data center and provided to clinicians in all study centers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with valganciclovir decreases T cell activation levels among HIV-infected patients with asymptomatic cytomegalovirus (CMV) co-infection, potentially improving immune responses to antiretroviral therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if, in men and women with excess abdominal fat and insulin resistance, people with HIV infection respond differently than people without HIV to interventions that typically improve body fat distribution and insulin resistance. The specific interventions are: 1. Diet + exercise program. 2. Rosiglitazone treatment. 3. A combination treatment of diet + exercise program and rosiglitazone.
To compare two commercially available platforms for assessment of HIV drug resistance to determine which provides superior virological results. We hypothesise that one test will be significantly superior to the other.
The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and tolerability of the to-be-marketed lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) tablet formulation with the marketed soft gel capsule (SGC) formulation and to compare the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of once daily (QD) and twice daily (BID) dosing of the LPV/r tablet formulation in combination with select nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in patients who have not previously received antiretroviral treatment.
The objective of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of 0.5% and 2% PRO 2000/5 gels compared to placebo in preventing vaginally acquired HIV infection.
To assess whether there exist significant differences in glucose metabolism, lipids, lactate, body composition, and bone density between HIV-infected and uninfected young men.
