Filter by:The purpose of this study is to look at the levels of three HIV medications: dolutegravir, darunavir and cobicistat in the blood after drug intake has been stopped, in order to understand how long these drugs persist in the blood. The study will specifically look at blood levels of these three drugs after taking them every day for 14 days. There will be two groups. Participants in Group 1 will take dolutegravir everyday for 14 days, then nothing for 7 days, then dolutegravir and darunavir/cobicistat together for 14 days, nothing for 7 days, and then darunavir/cobicistat alone for 14 days. If participants go into Group 2 they will begin with darunavir/cobicistat everyday for 14 days, then nothing for 7 days, then dolutegravir and darunavir/cobicistat together for 14 days, nothing for 7 days, and then dolutegravir alone for 14 days. Drug levels for both groups will be measured on days 14, 35 and 56. If the participants decide to take part, the duration of the study will be up to 57 days plus a screening visit which will take place up to 28 days prior to the start of the study, and a follow up visit, which takes place 15 to 22 days after the last dose of study medication. Eligible participants will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to group 1 or group 2. Participants and the study doctor will know which study medications the participant is taking at all times during the study.
The proposal is a phase II clinical study designed to assess the feasibility of durvalumab (MEDI4736) in HIV-1-infected individuals with solid tumors. Additionally, to obtain data that lets understand the possible benefit of this treatment in cancer patients and HIV infection, exploring if activity of durvalumab (MEDI4736) could be higher in cancer that has been produced at least in part due to the chronic immunosupression. Simultaneously, it will allow us to investigate the effect of disrupting this immunoregulatory pathway might have in reversing cancer pathways and HIV-specific T-cell function during persistent chronic HIV infection in humans.
The investigators will conduct a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial of adjunctive dexamethasone in the initial (6-8 weeks) treatment of tuberculous meningitis in Vietnamese adults. The trial will address a primary hypothesis in all enrolled patients, and a secondary hypothesis in a sub-group of enrolled patients who develop anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (DILI). The primary hypothesis is adjunctive dexamethasone increases survival from TBM in HIV co-infected adults. The secondary hypothesis is current guidelines for the management of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury in those with TBM result in the premature interruption of rifampicin and isoniazid (the critical active drugs in early therapy) and are thereby placing participants at risk of poor outcomes.
This study will help determine feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an app for HIV medication adherence over a 3-month period. Participation is 3 months consisting of two study visits: An initial study visit and a 3 month follow up visit with both visits lasting about 60-90 minutes. The participant must use the study application (app) at least once daily, and at study visits, must complete surveys.
AllyQuest is a novel, high impact secondary prevention intervention delivered via mobile phones to improve linkage and engagement in care among newly diagnosed HIV+ young men who have sex with men (YMSM). The features of the intervention aim to target previously identified barriers to care among newly diagnosed youth, namely, low HIV health literacy, lack of social support, and internalized stigma related to their diagnosis. AllyQuest will be an interactive mobile phone intervention for HIV+ YMSM that utilizes social networking, game-based mechanics and a story-based framework to guide behavior change. Grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, narrative communication and the principles of persuasive technology, the intervention is designed to capitalize on social involvement as a means through which HIV+ YMSM can receive information and social support, experience social norms and reflective appraisals, and feel a sense of connectedness to peers.
The purpose of this study is to assess the early longitudinal metabolic effects including insulin sensitivity in HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children compared to HIV-unexposed uninfected (HUU) children; as well as to determine differences in the effects of neonatal zidovudine (AZT) vs. nevirapine (NVP) prophylaxis on early longitudinal changes in insulin sensitivity in the first 3 years of life.
Currently available methods to monitor antiretroviral (ARV) adherence to HIV treatment and prevention, such as self-report, pill counts, medication electronic monitoring system (MEMS), and devices which wirelessly monitor adherence in real-time, have multiple limitations, including over-reporting, inability to assess pill ingestion, and size/expense. Our multidisciplinary research team at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and in India has designed a new adherence-monitoring device called "Tel-Me-Box" which is small, low-cost, rechargeable, inconspicuous, and could be programmed to deliver tailored real-time adherence reminders following additional hardware modifications. The aim of this study is to modify and validate this discreet Tel-Me-Box (TMB) adherence monitoring and reminder device against hair ARV concentrations as a pharmacologic measure of drug ingestion/adherence, a measure pioneered and validated by our team, with the expectation that this device and intermittent hair monitoring could have widespread utility for HIV and non-HIV adherence science, both in India and globally.
The investigators will recruit participants from three tertiary care hospitals in Uganda into an observational cohort study of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and HIV-uninfected persons matched for gender and residency, presenting with CT-confirmed stroke. We will collect socio demographic, clinical, laboratory, radiologic, cardiac, and clinical neurologic disease measures to investigate the effect of HIV-infection on 1) clinical and radiologic presentation, 2) risk factor profiles; and 3) stroke outcomes (death or disability).
Radiolabelling broadly neutralizing anti-HIV antibody 3BNC117 with a Copper-64 radio isotope for infusion into people with HIV followed by MRI/PET scanning to detect HIV in vivo.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether giving small financial incentives will motivate parents to test their children for HIV.
