Filter by:The primary objective of this proposal is to compare a moderate or high intensity exercise intervention to improve physical function in persons aging with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
This study will assess the pharmacokinetics of TDF in Thai HIV-infected children
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the Bio-Rad Geenius HIV 1/2 Supplemental Assay, a single-use immunochromatographic assay for the confirmation and differentiation of individual antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) in fingerstick whole blood, venous whole blood, serum, or plasma samples (EDTA, heparin, and sodium citrate).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of rectal lubricants can affect how well the medication, Truvada, will work to prevent infection with HIV when someone is exposed to HIV in the rectum.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of oral bictegravir (formerly GS-9883) in adults with impaired renal function relative to matched, healthy controls with normal renal function. Each participant in the renal impairment groups will be matched for age (± 10 years), gender, and body mass index [BMI (± 20%, 18 ≤ BMI ≤ 40 kg/m^2)] with a participant in the control group.
WiseMama is designed to improve our understanding of interventions that are feasible and effective in helping HIV-positive pregnant and postpartum women to maintain high adherence to antiretroviral medications. The study will involve: a) assessing the feasibility and acceptability of the use of an innovative pill container equipped with real-time electronic data monitoring capacity by HIV positive pregnant and postpartum women in Uganda; b) generating preliminary effectiveness data of a 2-step feedback intervention on retention in care, antiretroviral therapy adherence, and clinical outcomes (CD4 and HIV viral load (VL)); c) exploring patient and provider perspectives on barriers and facilitators to retention in care and adherence to antiretroviral therapy in our study population.
This study consists of a one-year randomized controlled trial investigating the impact of mobilized care workers trained and supported by Futures Families, a South African non-profit organization, that provide biweekly home visits to families with orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Tshwane (aka Pretoria) townships, South Africa. Future Families takes a family-based approach to addressing the needs of OVC by providing caregivers with information, psychosocial support, and access to external services. Caregivers will participate in a survey providing information on their personal wellbeing as well as key indicators reflecting the wellbeing of each child under their care. Newly enrolled caregivers will be randomly assigned to either program participation beginning in late 2014 or to delayed participation following the impact survey about one year later. The data will be used to test for changes in a set of key program indicators pertaining to child protection, HIV prevention, psychosocial wellbeing, education and early childhood development. This study aims to strengthen the evidence base for effective family centered programming to address the needs of HIV-affected children and their caregivers.
ADVICE is a randomised, international, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The purpose of the ADVICE study is to compare the safety and efficacy of vorapaxar in reducing d-dimer expression and markers of cellular immune activation over a period of 12 weeks among people with HIV infection who are successfully treated with combination antiretroviral therapy containing an HIV integrase inhibitor. A secondary objective of the study will be to demonstrate that following cessation of vorapaxar in patients with well controlled HIV replication there will be an increase in the levels of d-dimer over a 6 week period. 60 participants from 4 clinical sites in Australia and the USA will be recruited and followed for a minimum of 18 weeks.
The goal of this study is to conduct a small, self-contained project to test the hypothesis that tDCS will augment SOP cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) in older HIV+ adults. The investigators will randomly assign 60 HIV+ older adults (i.e., ≥ 50 years old) to 10-hours in either a SOP CRT + sham tDCS condition (n=30) or SOP CRT + active tDCS condition (n=30) and examine neurocognitive functioning at baseline and 6 weeks post-intervention. Hypothesis 1: The SOP CRT + active tDCS condition will show larger proximal (i.e., SOP) gains than the SOP CRT + sham tDCS condition. Hypothesis 2: The active tDCS condition will demonstrate generalization to secondary neurocognitive domains compared to the sham tDCS condition.
The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will rigorously evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of delivering a multimedia evidence-based intervention (WORTH) and streamlined HIV testing to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with Black/African-American (hereafter referred to as Black) women drug users in probation sites in New York City (NYC), compared to streamlined HIV testing alone. Repeated assessments will occur at baseline and 3, 6, and 12-months post intervention. The primary outcomes will be to reduce cumulative incidence of biologically confirmed STIs (i.e., Chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomonas and the number of unprotected sex acts.
