Filter by:The investigative team will conduct a 2-arm randomized control trial to examine the preliminary effect of LinkPositively+ (LPP) an enhanced version of LinkPositively (LP) mobile app on improved HIV care outcomes including improved retention in HIV care, ART adherence, and viral suppression using hair sample analysis and passive electronic, medical record review, and secondarily, self-reported increased social support via activation of social support networks (i.e., assessed by utilization), self-efficacy, and utilization of ancillary support services at baseline, 3- and 6-month post enrollment. Black women living with HIV (WLHA) with a lifetime history of interpersonal violence, who have been linked to care but may have fallen out of care in the past year will be randomized 1:1 to either the LP arm or the LPP arm.
Randomized, two-way, two-period, single oral dose, open-label, crossover, bioequivalence study to compare Dolutegravir 50mg film-coated tablets (50mg Dolutegravir) versus Tivicay 50mg film-coated tablets (50mg Dolutegravir) in healthy subjects under fasting conditions.
People living with HIV (PLHIV) appear to present with sleep-related complaints more frequently than the general population, with a prevalence of 50-70%. The latest French multi-center epidemiological data are dated. The prevalence of the different types of sleep disorders, however, is poorly documented, with the literature focusing mainly on insomnia and neuropsychological disorders that can lead to sleep disorder-like symptoms, and on the impact of antiretroviral drugs in particular. However, there are other sleep disorders such as sleep apnea syndrome (SAHOS) or restless legs syndrome. SAHOS has been studied in small series of patients. This multicenter, cross-sectional study will identify and update the functional complaints presented by PLHIV, estimate the prevalence of people at high risk of sleep apnea syndrome, and study the associated socio-demographic factors, in relation to HIV infection and antiretrovirals. This study could open up avenues for new management approaches and earlier detection of sleep disorders.
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) prevents HIV from multiplying. However, if people living with HIV stop taking ART, the virus quickly reappears in their blood due to the random activation of hidden infected cells. These hidden cells contain HIV that is not active and do not produce the virus. These cells are a major challenge in finding a cure for HIV. One of the most promising ways to get rid of these hidden infected cells is by activating them with special drugs called latency-reversing agents (LRAs). This process, known as the "shock-and-kill" strategy, involves waking up the hidden virus ("shock" phase) so that it can be destroyed by the body's immune system or by the virus itself ("kill" phase). Investigators are developing new LRAs that target and activate a viral protein called Tat, which is necessary for the virus to start producing again and for reversing its dormant state.The lead compound, named D10, is the first of its kind to target the Tat protein. This compound has been patented and has shown activity in activating the virus in lab-grown cells. Now, investigators need to test its effectiveness on real target cells from people living with HIV.
The goal of this single-arm, open label pilot study is to evaluate liraglutide at the recommended dosage administered subcutaneously + lifestyle counselling for the management of people living with HIV (PLWH) with obesity defined by a BMI ≥30 kg/m2 who are on dolutegravir-based ART. Following individual informed consent, all participants will undergo a series of basic cardiometabolic labs. They will then be initiated on liraglutide 0.6 mg administered subcutaneously, and this dose will be gradually increased over a period of 4 weeks to a dose of 3.0 mg daily. Alongside drug administration, participants will receive lifestyle counselling regarding diet and physical activity. Following completion of a 12-week "on treatment" period, liraglutide will be stopped and participants will be followed for an additional 12-weeks off treatment. Body weight, cardiometabolic risk parameters, and a suite of patient-reported outcomes regarding diet, physical activity, sleep, and quality of life will be assessed periodically over the course of the study.
This is a study of HB-502 and HB-501 alternating 2-vector therapy in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who are taking antiretroviral treatment (ART). The benefits of available ART are short-lived and eventually there is a return of rapid HIV replication and higher viral copy number after a period of initial improvement of infection. The study treatment made of HB-502 and HB-501 is designed to train the body to recognize and fight parts from substances found in HIV. This trial studies the safety, tolerability, and ability of HB-502 and HB-501 to stimulate an immune response against HIV in people living with HIV. Participants will receive the study treatment by injection into the muscle every 8 weeks for a duration of 24 weeks, which is followed by another 24 weeks to continue looking closely at the safety profile and anti-HIV immune reaction after the last dose of study treatment.
This will be a multi-center, single arm observational cohort study with an assessment of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and of clinical and virologic outcomes. Primary outcome • Evaluate patient perception of, and satisfaction with, long-acting injectable (LAI) cabotegravir/rilpivirine (CAB/RPV) for the treatment of HIV Secondary outcomes • Description of the demographic, HIV-, and non-HIV-related characteristics of participants included in this analysis
The context of HIV has changed dramatically this last two decades with the availability of highly active and well tolerated antiretroviral therapies, and the extension of prevention methods to include treatment as prevention of onward transmissions. It is time to test and treat as many HIV infected people as possible. HIV testing that target people known to have been exposed to HIV is an interesting option to explore to curb the spread of the epidemic. Notifying HIV exposed sexual partner for them to get an HIV test and treatment contribute to reduce HIV transmissions. The partner notification (PN) gives the opportunity to HIV positive partners to access to care and negative partners, access to prevention services. Several tools have been developed worldwide, in particular in the United Kingdom and the US, to help HIV or index patients to notify their sexual partner or needle-sharing people. This approach is new in France and PN intervention has to be assessed. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a digital PN tool or a counselling interview to help men having sex with men (MSM) newly diagnosed for HIV to notify their exposed partners. The study also aimed to evaluate the acceptability of these PN intervention in index patients and their notified partners in the French context. To meet the objectives, an interventional study was developed in index patients (described above) coupled with : - an observational study in notified partners to assess their PN acceptability and their HIV testing uptake after being notified - a qualitative study in a sample of index patients and notified partner to assess more in depth their PN acceptability. Expected results and perspectives Feasible and effective, assisted PN services may complete HIV testing offer (and by extension sexually transmitted infections screening) as well as the prevention offer Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for MSM. The study will provide information enabling the best practice guides. In a next step, PN interventions adapted to other key populations will be studied.
The goal of this study is to determine how many patients with HIV or at high risk of getting HIV attend the Emergency Department (ED) in South Africa (SA). the investigators will integrate HIV assessment in the ED and see how many people who would be a candidate for a drug that prevents HIV (PrEP). Universal test and connect (UTC) is a strategy that universally tests all patients and connects patients to long-term care, whether HIV positive or negative, including referrals for PrEP. The investigator's goal is to use UTC across two busy 24-hr EDs in Cape Town, SA.
This study aims to characterize Swiss HIV Cohort Study participants initiating the CAB+RPV LA regimen, assess adherence to Swiss label indications, and describe treatment outcomes in this large, multicentre, heterogeneous, high-income setting. Moreover, the study aims to assess virological, immunological, demographic, clinical, and behavioural factors associated with viral failure under CAB+RPV LA regimen.
