Filter by:HIV infection, as well as exposure to opioids (including heroin), are associated with systemic immune activation including increased microbial translocation from the gut. The overall objective of this study is to define the impact of long-term mu-opiate receptor stimulation or blockage with medication for opiate use disorder (i.e, methadone, buprenorphine/naloxone, or extended-release naltrexone) on the kinetics and extent of immune reconstitution on HIV-1 infected people who inject opiate and initiating antiretroviral therapy.
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical response and mortality rate by an opportunistic disease in HIV-infected individuals who start immediate versus conventional antiretroviral therapy. Immediate ART (iART) is defined as starting antiretroviral therapy in the first 48 hours after the hospitalization. Conventional ART (cART) is defined as starting antiretroviral therapy once the opportunistic infection is under control at the discretion of infectious disease specialist.
The Radata-Fuzeon cohort is an observational cohort study to gain a better understanding of Fuzeon (Enfuvirtide) in daily clinical practice. Patients planned to take this drug in a new antiretroviral combination therapy (ART) are eligible to participate in this observation. Physicians may register patients online via the internet. They are offered to get an expert advice suggesting therapeutics for a new ART. Observation interval is every three month. However physicians are allowed to initiate new diagnostics, expert advice and therapeutic changes independently from these intervals if necessary. Total observation time for each patients is planned for two years.
