Filter by:Though HAV is mainly transmitted through the fecal-oral route, infection by sexual intercourse and blood transfusion is also possible. Injection drug users (IDUs) and men who have sex with men (MSM) have a higher risk of acquiring HAV due to their behaviors. Reemerging threat of hepatitis A among MSM in Taiwan has been reported recently. Based on the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), Taiwan, vaccination of individuals against HAV with any of the following indications is recommended: HIV patients, adults with chronic hepatic disease, hemophilia, liver transplantation, occupational exposure, MSM, persons who use injection or noninjection illicit drugs, or persons traveling to or working in countries that have endemicity of HAV. In HIV-infected patients, the immunogenicity to HAV vaccination is sub-optimal in HIV-infected patients and the seroconversion rate is estimated 68-90% after administration of 2 or 3 doses of HAV vaccine. Furthermore, the antibody titers of HIV-infected patients following HAV vaccination are significantly lower compared to those of HIV-uninfected persons. The sub-optimal response among HIV-infected subjects remains an unresolved problem. In this study, the investigators aim to determine the to conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare the immunogenicity of 2 different doses of HAV vaccination (1 dose versus 2 doses) in HIV-infected patients who failed to achieve serologic response in the primary vaccination. This proposal will provide the solid evidence to elucidate the role of booster HAV vaccination in HIV-infected patients without response to primary HAV vaccination.
Distal sensory peripheral neuropathy (DSP) is a chronic, debilitating painful condition affecting quality of life in persons living with HIV. Treatments prescribed to manage DSP pain, such as nonnarcotic and narcotic analgesics, antidepressants and anticonvulsants, are largely ineffective. In HIV there are no FDA-approved drugs for this indication. This study assesses in a randomized controlled clinical trial, the efficacy of novel non-pharmacologic pain management approaches to reduce HIV-related DSP pain and improve quality of life.
The primary aim of this open-label, randomized control trial is to compare the immunogenicity at week 28 after 20µg HBV vaccine (at week 0, 4, 24) versus 40µg HBV vaccine (40-µg at week 0, 4, 24 week) among HIV-positive patients or HIV-negative MSM who were born in Taiwan after July 1986 and tested negative for all HBV serological markers. The secondary aims are to assess the safety of double-dose HBV vaccination, the proportions of high-level responders (anti-HBs antibody >100 mIU/ml) at weeks 28 and 48, the serological responses at week 48, and incident HBV infection (indicated by appearance of anti-HBc and/or HBsAg) at week 48.
The response to primary tetanus immunization of HIV-infected children is lower than that of uninfected children. Response to tetanus toxoid (TT) booster doses in adults living with HIV who have received primary vaccination prior to infection is not known. Currently, it is recommended to have a TT booster for people living with HIV (PLHIV) every 10 years. In general population, this recall is made only at 25, 45 and 65 years, then every 10 years.
The purpose of the study is to screen the optimal intervention strategies to rapid establish the protective barriers against HIV-infection by maximally decreasing the viremia among HIV- infected patients.
The investigators propose to conduct a phase 2 randomised (1:1) double-blind placebo-controlled trial of the dolutegravir-lamivudine-tenofovir fixed dose combination tablet daily with an additional 50 mg dose of dolutegravir/matching placebo taken 12 hours later in ART-naïve or fisrt-line interrupted HIV-infected patients on rifampicin-based anti-tuberculosis therapy. The hypothesis is that virologic outcomes with standard dose dolutegravir-based ART will be acceptable in patients on rifampicin-based anti-tuberculosis therapy.
Multicenter, randomized, open label pilot clinical trial with two parallel arms aimed to compare the efficacy of Raltegravir (RAL) 1200mg QD vs Darunavir/Cobicistat (DRV-cb) 800-150mg QD both in combination with alafenamide/emtricitabine (TAF/FTC) in patients with Human Inmunodefficiency Virus (HIV) infection and CD4<200 cells/microL
This study will develop and test a program to deliver PrEP care in underserved communities in Mississippi (MS) through telemedicine, distance-based, clinical care delivered in local community based organizations (CBOs). The intervention will be developed in collaboration with medical specialists at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) and local CBO stakeholders (providers, administrators and patients). Approximately 75 individuals will be recruited from CBOs in MS. Participants will be able to receive PrEP counseling in the CBO and PrEP care via telemedicine from a PrEP specialist at UMMC. Participants will complete three assessments in the six months after enrolling. Our study will provide a wealth of information about PrEP-related outcomes and HIV testing among MS residents living in underserved communities. If successful, this program will be able to be disseminated to other CBOs in the South.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of an intervention to prevent chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity in midlife and older Latino adults living with HIV. The investigators expect that the participant will be in this study for seven months. Participants will be interviewed and asked to take part in walking groups.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection frequently involves combination drug therapy for its treatment; hence, it is important to understand their interactions and resulting changes in exposure which are associated with medications. This is a Phase-1, open-label, fixed-sequence 2-period, one-way drug interaction study to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK), safety, and tolerability of GSK3640254 and Tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine (TAF/FTC) when administered alone and in combination in healthy subjects. The study will consist of a screening period of 28 days before the first dose of study intervention followed by 2 sequential treatment periods. Subjects will be administered TAF/FTC 25/200 milligram (mg) once daily (QD) on Days 1 to 14 of Period 1 followed by co-administration of TAF/FTC 25/200 mg QD with GSK3640254 200 mg QD on Days 1 to 7 of Period 2.
