Filter by:This study will use the NIH-sponsored Women and Infants Transmission Study (WITS) and the Pediatric Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Complications of Vertically Transmitted HIV Infection (P2C2) HIV-infected pediatric cohorts to determine how left ventricular (LV) function (particularly fractional shortening and contractility) and structure (particularly wall thickness and mass) are affected by cumulative intensity of exposure to highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART).
Limited data exist about combination anti-HIV treatment regimens in children, including how those drugs are cleared by the body in children. The purpose of this study is to measure the blood levels of the following combinations of anti-HIV drugs in HIV infected chilren: tenofovir disoproxil fumurate (TDF) and efavirenz (EFV) or nevirapine (NVP); TDF and darunavir (DRV) with or without EFV; and TDF and ritonavir (RTV) with or without EFV.
The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanisms by which HIV protease inhibitors contribute to the development of diabetes in HIV-infected patients. The investigators propose that some HIV protease inhibitors impair insulin secretion and increase the production of glucose by the liver.
Adherence to a doctor-prescribed anti-HIV drug regimen is crucial in the management of HIV infection. In previous studies with tuberculosis patients, directly observed therapy (DOT), a strategy in which patients are observed while taking their medications, has been proven useful in increasing patient adherence. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a new DOT strategy in HIV infected adolescents who have had difficulty adhering to anti-HIV drug regimens or regimens to prevent opportunistic infections (OIs) in the past.
This is a proof of concept (POC) single arm study of GW640385, a protease inhibitor, in combination with RTV and 2 or more nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) backbone. This study has a 48 week duration and is open to both treatment naive and experienced patients who are HIV positive. There are 3 intensive pharmacokinetic (PK) visits.
The purpose of this study is to determine immune system function following vaccination in HIV-infected children currently taking anti-HIV drugs. To test the effectiveness of prior vaccination, patients in this study will receive booster shots of one of two pneumococcal vaccines, a hepatitis B vaccine, and a measles vaccine.
The purpose of this study is to compare the antiviral activity of two treatment groups for HIV chronic infection: a QD regimen of didanosine, lamivudine and efavirenz versus a BID regimen of zidovudine, lamivudine and efavirenz. Both will be administered with food in the starting treatment of human immunodeficiency virus infection at Week 48.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a tailored interactive online risk reduction program versus a standard online risk reduction program in reducing the risk of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) infection in young adults.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of several anti-HIV treatment strategies in resource-poor South African communities. The strategies being studied are using specially trained doctors or nurses to administer HIV care.
This study is a first step in approaching the gap existing between understanding sleep abnormalities, alterations in sleep-regulating cytokines and HIV-1 disease regulating cytokines, and abnormal higher cortical function.
