Filter by:The overall goal of this study is to determine if periodic de-worming of persons living with HIV in intestinal parasite-endemic regions will lead to decreased morbidity and mortality associated with HIV by reducing immune activation and intestinal damage associated with these diseases. The hypothesis for this project is that intestinal parasitic infections contribute to a modifiable pro-inflammatory state in persons living with HIV (PLWH). Aim 1: Determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in PLWH receiving care at an HIV-treatment center in Lilongwe, Malawi using a highly sensitive multi-parallel stool PCR test. Hypothesis: highly sensitive stool PCR testing will demonstrate that disease burden of parasitic infection in PLWH in Malawi is higher than historically reported based on stool microscopy. Aim 2: Determine the impact of parasitic infection on intestinal damage and immune activation by measuring sCD14, sCD163, and intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) in PLWH. Hypothesis: plasma biomarkers reflecting intestinal damage and immune activation are elevated in those with HIV and parasitic co-infection compared with parasite-negative participants with HIV. Aim 3: Determine the impact of eradication of parasitic infection on intestinal damage and immune activation by measuring sCD14, sCD163, and intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) in PLWH before and after treatment of parasitic co-infection. Hypothesis: plasma biomarkers reflecting intestinal damage and immune activation are elevated in those with HIV and parasitic co-infection, and these biomarkers decrease with anti-parasitic treatment.
HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) rates are increasing in rural areas including rural Colorado. Many rural residents find it difficult to access HIV and STI prevention services. In this study, an online survey on HIV and STI Prevention and best practices to provide access to prevention will be administered to rural residents in three zip 3 zones in rural Colorado. In addition to the baseline survey, study participants who are interested and medically eligible may initiate PrEP services with the University of Colorado HIV Prevention Program and receive PrEP through telemedicine visits, mailed home lab kits, and mailed medication. Persistence in PrEP care, acceptability, and feasibility of telemedicine and home lab kits will be measured.
This is a prospective cohort study evaluating acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of integrating HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) into a sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic alongside assisted partner notification and etiologic STI testing in Lilongwe, Malawi.
This study explores the pathological constitution as it relates to low quality of life with HIV- infected MSM patients, as a reference for clinical treatment.
An open-label, two part study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of VH3810109 in healthy adult participants. Participants will receive a single SC or IV dose of VH3810109 co-administered with rHuPH20 and will be followed up for 24 weeks.
- The goal of this clinical trial entitled, PrEP2Prevent: An Online PrEP Navigation and Activation Intervention for YMSM, is to develop and test a method for supporting access to an HIV prevention medication called Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in young men who have sex with men and young transgender and non-binary individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are some of the experiences and barriers providers have seen regarding this population accessing PrEP - Using information gathered from PrEP providers and navigators, develop a mobile health platform and PrEP related content that will be tested by members of the population to see if the features are usable and the content is understandable. - Enroll 150 study participants to see if utilizing the mobile health platform and receiving supportive sessions related to motivation and barriers to accessing PrEP is achievable. - Participants will - Be given access to the mobile health Platform called PrEPresent, which provides them with access to prevention related content, the ability to schedule with a patient navigator and create customizable goals - Complete a baseline, 3 month and 6 month assessment about personal health, health history and technology, along with a PrEP adherence rapid urine test - Complete up to 4 sessions to assist participants in the intervention group with discussing any barriers to accessing PrEP
BCN03 is a Single-site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and efficacy of a vaccine regimen that includes a sequence of the T- and B-cell immunogens ChAdOx1.HTI and MVA.HTI and ConM SOSIP.v7 gp140 adjuvanted with MPLA liposomes in 30 virologically-suppressed ART-treated HIV-1 positive individuals.
