Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine how common herpes is among persons with HIV who do not know they have it and if valacyclovir reduces outbreaks of herpes, the amount of HIV in the blood, and the amount of HSV in bodily secretions.
Evaluating the bioavailibility safety and efficacy of the generic LPV/RTV 200/50 mg tablet formulation in a 400/100 mg BID dose in Thai HIV infected individuals.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, cost and effectiveness of interventions designed to integrate buprenorphine treatment for opioid dependence into HIV primary care in ten HIV care centers in the U.S. In the site led by Dr. Altice, we compare two models of providing HIV care and buprenorphine treatment. Assignments are based on participants' city of residence. In the onsite (integrated care) model, participants receive buprenorphine, substance abuse counseling and HIV care at one location: the Waterbury Hospital Infectious Disease Clinic. In the off-site model (non-integrated care) buprenorphine induction, substance abuse counseling, and HIV care will be provided at separate locations: the Community Health Care Van (CHCV), the Yale AIDS Program, and patients' own HIV providers, respectively. Data is collected from interviews with participants, reviews of medical records, and surveys and interviews with clinicians.
People infected with HIV have a greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease than people not infected with HIV. This may be due to increased inflammation brought on by either the HIV infection itself or the use of antiretroviral medications to treat HIV infection. This study will evaluate an anti-inflammatory drug, pentoxifylline, to determine whether it improves blood vessel function and reduces inflammation in people infected with HIV who are not currently receiving antiretroviral medications.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the administration of a dendritic cell vaccine is a safe and effective treatment for HIV-1 patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a brief motivational intervention in reducing risky injection practices among injecting drug users (IDUs). The investigators hypothesis is that motivational intervention will be more effective than educational intervention in reducing risky injection practices among IDUs.
The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of switching from an antiretroviral combination that includes efavirenz (Susitiva®), in individuals experiencing efavirenz-related side effects, and replacing this with an investigational HIV medication called Etravirine (TMC125). The study will primarily investigate the effect of change in medication on your viral load (the levels of the HIV virus in your blood), on immunological parameters (CD4 count), on other safety parameters (such as cholesterol) your side effects and also on your quality of life.
Despite the clinical significance of potential interactions between antimalarials and antiretrovirals, no drug interaction studies have been published and there is an urgent need to address this gap in current knowledge. This study aims to assess the drug interaction between the antimalarial Artemether/Lumefantrine used for management of uncomplicated malaria and Nevirapine-based antiretroviral therapy.
The investigational product, ibalizumab, is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody administered via intravenous infusion at 800 mg every 2 weeks or at 2000 mg every 4 weeks. In addition to study drug, all patients will receive an optimized background regimen (OBR), which is a standard-of-care regimen selected by the investigator prior to randomization that is comprised of 2-4 antiretroviral agents. These agents must have been approved by the local regulatory agency or be available through expanded-access programs for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
The purpose of this study is to test two innovative case management approaches designed to increase linkages and engagement with drug abuse treatment, HIV-related care, and other health services among an underserved population of African American women at risk for HIV.
