Filter by:The Resilient HIV Implementation Science with SGM Youths using Evidence (RISE) Clinical Research Center will use a Type 2 hybrid-effectiveness-implementation study to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of HMP, a youth-tailored digital health platform. It is hypothesized that SGM youths in the HMP intervention group will demonstrate improved PrEP initiation and viral load suppression over 12 months compared to the delayed HMP group.
This study will evaluate implementation strategies to address barriers and increase uptake of PrEP among Black cisgender women in Planned Parenthood of Illinois (PPIL) health centers.
The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot test a psychosocial-behavioral mobile health (mHealth) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention intervention in people who use drugs presenting to the emergency department (ED). The main question the study aims to answer is: is the intervention acceptable and appropriate? Participants will use the mHealth app while waiting in the ED and also at home for 90 days. Participants will be asked to complete surveys at baseline, before leaving the ED, and at 30-, 60-, and 90-day follow up visits.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is effective in preventing HIV infection among people who inject drugs (PWID) yet studies suggest that its use is low among this population which is particularly vulnerable to HIV infection. The criminal justice (CJ) system, at the intersection of increased risk of HIV infection and substance use, presents a unique opportunity to engage PWID in HIV prevention care that incudes PrEP. The study will characterize the facilitators and barriers to PrEP initiation, adherence and linkage to care among male PWID that are experiencing incarceration and develop the "PrEPare-for-Release" intervention to promote PrEP initiation, adherence and linkage to care upon release from incarceration into the community.
Even with current HIV treatments, HIV is still a lifelong disease because it hides in some long-lasting cells in the body. One of the strategies to find a cure for HIV works by finding the virus in these cells, making it visible, and then getting rid of it. This is called the 'shock and kill' approach. So far, the drugs tested can find the virus, but they don't get rid of it completely. That's why there need to be new drugs that can do this more effectively. The Erasmus MC HIV Eradication Group (EHEG) has been testing new drugs in the lab and found a drug called topiramate can wake up the virus without harming the cells. The aim of this study is to test topiramate in people living with HIV. Most of the people that participate in HIV cure studies are men, even though most people living with HIV around the world are women. Previous research has shown that men and women might respond differently to these treatments. So, in this study, topiramate will be investigated in both men and women. This could help us find a cure that works for everyone.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of structural intervention components to increase adolescent HIV testing uptake by improving the implementation of confidential care as standard practice in pediatric primary care.
The goal of this clinical trial is to conduct a dietary intervention targeting HIV-specific gut microbiota alterations for primary ASCVD prevention and evaluate its effectiveness in preventing borderline ASCVD risk among HIV-infected patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Explore the pivotal role of the gut-heart axis in the causal relationship between HIV infection and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. - Develop a targeted dietary intervention focusing on gut microbiota to prevent the borderline risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in HIV-infected patients. - Evaluate the effectiveness of the gut microbiota-targeted dietary intervention in reducing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk among HIV-infected patients, altering gut microbiota composition, improving risk factors of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and alleviating prodromal symptoms associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Participants in the intervention group will receive the gut microbiota-targeted dietary intervention thrice weekly for 3 months, accompanied by bi-weekly health education videos for the same duration. Meanwhile, the control group will continue routine follow-up and health education practices. The intervention will span three months, followed by a three-month follow-up period. Data collection will occur at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.
This is a multicenter, open-label, phase 1 clinical trial to test two human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccines with two adjuvants. An adjuvant is an ingredient used with some vaccines that may help people make an immune response. HIV is the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). About 42 people will take part in the HVTN 309 clinical trial. This clinical trial will take place at multiple sites in the US and South Africa and the clinical trial is divided into 3 parts: Part A, Part B and Part C. About 3 people will participate in Part A of this study. After results from Part A are reviewed, it will be determined whether or not Part B and Part C of the clinical trial will proceed.
This research is being done to better understand rejection in transplant recipients with HIV who receive kidneys from donors with vs without HIV.
The ORBIT trial is part of a worldwide search for a functional cure of HIV. One such cure strategy aims to reverse HIV in the reservoir from latency by increasing cell-associated HIV-RNA, which will lead to increased antigen presentation, trigger immune recognition, and facilitate the elimination of reservoir cells (so-called 'shock and kill' approach to HIV cure). Participants of the trial are adults with HIV with undetectable viral load that are able to give informed consent to participate in the trial, in total 49 patients will be recruited. The investigational medical compounds in this trial are panobinostat, lenalidomide and pyrimethamine. These are all licensed drugs for other conditions. Participants of this trial will receive a single dose of the IMPs, either as monotherapy or as combination therapy. Sampling will be performed before, during and after medical treatment to evaluate latency reversal, reservoir reduction and safety endpoints. Patients will be recruited from the Erasmus MC, Amsterdam university Medical Center and the University Medical Center Utrecht.
