Acute Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type I Infection Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of Identifying, Enrolling and Following Acute and Early HIV-1 Infected Individuals.
It is only between peak viremia and viral setpoint in natural acute HIV-1 infection that the immune response overwhelms viral replication resulting in a plasma viral load decline. The aim will be to characterize these immune responses, how they develop and their progeny. This will require the need to identify HIV-1 infected individuals before peak viremia and follow them to post viral setpoint. This protocol describes a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of identifying, enrolling and following acute and early HIV-1 infected individuals from voluntary counselling and testing centres in Masaka, Bukomansimbi, Kalungu, Lwengo, Sembababule and Lyantonde districts.
