The main purpose of this study is to find out how stimulant medications (methylphenidate or amphetamine/ dextroamphetamine) for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)are processed in HIV-1 infected and HIV-uninfected children and adolescents.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of famotidine, given twice daily, on atazanavir administered with ritonavir and tenofovir in HIV-infected participants.
HIV infection exerts a negative impact on the course of HCV infection. Co-infected individuals progress more rapidly to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and ESLD compared to those infected with HCV alone. Some of the this accelerated fibrosis may be related to longterm chronic toxicity from protease inhibitor based ART. Hypothesis: Switching from ritonavir boosted-PI based ART regimen to a Raltegravir-based regimen will reduce the rate of hepatic fibrosis progression in HIV-HCV co-infected patients as measured by transient elastography (Fibroscan®) and the AST-to-platelet ratio index (APRI).
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a cultural-, age- and gender-focused Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevention intervention in reducing risk behaviors among African-American young women relative to general health intervention.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of truvada and raltegravir given for 28 days for the prevention of HIV infection.
The primary purpose of this study is to analyze and compare plasma and intracellular concentrations of Raltegravir (RAL) in blood plasma and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
This is an open label-study of Fluzone HD, a high-dose form of trivalent, inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV), vs. Fluzone, a standard-dose form of TIV. Subjects with cancer or HIV will be vaccinated twice with one of the two vaccines and evaluated for development of immune responses.
MTN-009 is a multi-site, cross-sectional study that will provide an estimate of the prevalence of ARV resistance in the population of women who present to study sites to be pre-screened or screened for participation in an HIV prevention trial. To date, a comprehensive surveillance of HIV drug resistance in newly diagnosed women of reproductive age has yet to be undertaken. The primary goal of MTN-009 is to assess the frequency of HIV drug resistance mutations among women who test HIV-positive when presenting to screen for participation in HIV prevention trials.
The proposed research will include adolescent and young adult Hispanic/Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) and heterosexual men and women, aged 13-24 years, and will be based at 13 ATN Adolescent Medicine Trial Units (AMTUs) that provide clinical care and psychosocial services to the target group. In 10 of the 13 sites, comparisons will be made between alternative venue-based testing (AVT) and social and sexual network-based interviewing and HIV testing (SSNIT) strategies to assess which, among these approaches, is the most effective means for identifying undiagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in young, at-risk Hispanics/Latinos. Three of the sites will focus solely on use of SSNIT for identifying undiagnosed HIV in our target group of adolescents and young adults. All study participants will complete an audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI) and undergo HIV screening. Participants with presumptive HIV positive screening results will be referred to the local AMTU for confirmatory testing, post-test counseling and referrals for linkage to HIV medical care. Linkage to care for ATN 096 study participants will be conducted in accordance with the Strategic Multisite Initiative for the Identification, Linkage, and Engagement in Care of Youth with Undiagnosed HIV Infection (SMILE in CARING for YOUTH) Program (ATN 093), a collaboration of the CDC and NICHD/ATN, to ensure that youth who test positive for HIV as part of this protocol are linked with treatment and care.
