Filter by:This will be a two-arm cluster randomized controlled trial. The control group can share their Center for Disease Control and Prevention certified online HIV results (COHIV) with another party freely through a social networking tool, while the intervention group will be asked for the COHIV before he can see the COHIV of his friend. The investigators hypothesize that the requires exchange will promote HIV testing and thus reduce HIV incidence among MSM.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of arsenic trioxide combined with cART in eliminating latent HIV-1 reservoir, providing potential strategies for AIDS functional cure.
This will be a multistate, multicenter clinical study to determine the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis for a wide variety of chronic medical conditions.
Cervical cancer in HIV-positive women is largely preventable through regular screening. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends cervical screening for HIV-positive women every three years. Currently the least costly method for screening and the most viable option for many countries is visual inspection after application of acetic acid (VIA). Alternative testing methods are HPV testing and assessment with a portable magnification device. The investigators plan to assess and compare the screening test accuracy of these screening tests in women living with HIV. All women will receive histopathology reference standard.
Dolutegravir (DTG) is one type of integrase inhibitor, lamivudine (3TC) is one type of reverse transcriptase inhibitor, both of which are HIV medicine prevents HIV from self-multiplying, reduces the viral load. The data of the existing randomized controlled clinical studies show that the simplified two-drug DTG-based regimen is similar to the three-drug regimen in terms of efficacy, but there are no relevant data and reports on the efficacy and safety of DTG+3TC in HIV-infected patients in China so far. This project aims to explore the efficacy and safety of the DTG + 3TC regimen for HIV-infected patients in real clinical environment, to guide clinical application, and to provide a theoretical basis for the selection of simplified schemes for the formulation of guidelines. This study was done to see if the combination of two anti-HIV medicines, dolutegravir (DTG, Tivicay) and lamivudine (3TC, Epivir) taken once a day, provide a safe, effective, and well-tolerated treatment for HIV.
This is a randomized controlled trial about an app-based case management intervention. The intervention is a comprehensive case management approach consisting of the following aspects: articles delivery, online communication with case managers, supportive service information and hospital visits reminders. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention among HIV-positive men who have sex with men compared to standard-of-care service.
Distal sensory peripheral neuropathy (DSP) is a chronic, debilitating painful condition affecting quality of life in persons living with HIV. Treatments prescribed to manage DSP pain, such as nonnarcotic and narcotic analgesics, antidepressants and anticonvulsants, are largely ineffective. In HIV there are no FDA-approved drugs for this indication. This study assesses in a randomized controlled clinical trial, the efficacy of novel non-pharmacologic pain management approaches to reduce HIV-related DSP pain and improve quality of life.
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.
Greater advances are needed in two separate but related areas in healthcare: 1) the Clinical Decision Support Systems that complement the EHR use in support of routine patient care, population management and disease management; and 2) the use of the point-of-care observational data from the provider-patient encounter that support realworld medical research and healthcare quality measure assessment. Real-world evaluations of treatments of chronic diseases in the context of comorbid conditions and special populations (minorities, women, mentally ill, and those with addiction) are limited. The purpose of the OPERA database is to help address this unmet need in clinical research.
The objective of this research is to measure the short- and mid-term effects of an empowerment program focused on serostatus disclosure management for women living with HIV (WLHIV) in Mali on the "burden of secrecy".
