Filter by: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 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.
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) epidemic persists in France, with approximately 6000 new cases per year. Various prevention tools against HIV exist, including condoms, regular testing, Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), HIV treatment for seropositive partners, single-use disposable injection equipment for drug use and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Continuous or on-demand PrEP with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine has proven effective in reducing the risk of HIV infection. France was the first European country to authorize PrEP, leading to an unprecedented impact on seropositivity discovery rates in 2018, with a 7% decrease in new infections compared to 2017. However, the effectiveness of PrEP can be hindered by challenges in retaining users within the healthcare system. According to the EPIPHARE report, which has been monitoring Truvada® or generic PrEP use since 2017, a substantial proportion of new users do not receive PrEP renewal in the first 6 months after initiation. Such early interruptions, increasing in frequency, affected around a quarter of individuals who initiated PrEP in the second half of 2021. A recent study reported that these early interruptions have a significant detrimental impact on PrEP effectiveness in real life, especially among those under 30 years old and in socio-economic precarious situations. The main barriers to PrEP adherence are multifactorial, including social precarity, limited PrEP access, and a low perception of HIV risk. To address this, in France, general practitioners have been authorized to issue initial PrEP prescriptions since June 1, 2021. The future challenge is to increase PrEP use and optimize retention to combat the HIV epidemic, relying significantly on general medicine. The goal of our study is to broaden PrEP access by optimizing its initial prescription in general medicine and to assess user retention in PrEP care through the established partnership between general practitioners and patients. The research will be conducted in collaboration between Saint Louis Hospital in the 10th arrondissement of Paris and general practitioners willing to participate in the study, located in the 3rd, 10th, 11th, 13th, and 19th arrondissements. Participating general practitioners may be in private practice, employed in health centers, or working in health houses. As part of the study, general practitioners will receive training from the infectious diseases department of Saint-Louis and Lariboisière hospitals. This training will be both theoretical and practical, with the opportunity to attend initiation and follow-up PrEP consultations in the department. A dedicated phone line in the infectious diseases department of Saint Louis Hospital will be available for participating general practitioners seeking specialized advice. They will be encouraged to register as PrEP prescribers in their appointment scheduling software. Patients will be informed of the study objectives and its process by the general practitioner, and their oral non-opposition will be collected. Each inclusion consultation will last approximately 20-40 minutes, allowing the general practitioner to prescribe PrEP, conduct the usual care consultation, and collect clinical, demographic, socio-economic, lifestyle, medical history, and patient vaccination data on a dedicated data collection form. The follow-up duration will be two years, with consultation frequency matching that of regular PrEP follow-ups, and data collection will occur at M6, M12, M18, and M24 using a dedicated data collection form. Data collected during inclusion and follow-up consultations will be anonymized and integrated into the electronic Clinical Report Form. During each PrEP consultation (initiation and follow-up), general practitioners will provide patients with a PrEP prescription if the pre-PrEP biology report allows it (according to HAS (Haute Autorité de Santé) recommendations). For patients who have not been attending consultations, a telephone survey will be offered to inquire about PrEP continuation and collect information on follow-up or reasons for stopping PrEP.
The goal of this study is to test the maximum tolerated dose of ACU-D1 in HIV-positive people with HPV-associated vulvar and perianal lesions. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The maximum tolerated dose of ACU-D1 - Safety and tolerability of topical ACU-D1 - Whether topical ACU-D1 induces p53 and p53-mediated downstream signaling (including p21 induction) in HPV-related lesions - Whether topical ACU-D1 enhances markers of immunity in HPV-infected HIV-positive individuals Participants will be asked - To apply ACU-D1 on the lesions twice daily for 4 weeks - 3 biopsies will be performed at the screening and 3 at the end of 4 weeks.
This is a Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to define the safety and immunogenicity resulting from a rapid dose-escalating vaccination schedule as compared to that of a co-administered, dose-consistent vaccination schedule. Participants randomized to receive vaccines will get either dose-consistent injections of CH505 TF chTrimer+ALFQ co-administered with Ad26.Mos4.HIV or rapid, dose-escalating injections of CH505 TF chTrimer+ALFQ with an Ad26.Mos4.HIV prime, followed by dose-consistent injection of CH505 TF chTrimer+ALFQ co-administered with Ad26.Mos4.HIV
There is an urgent need to address HIV inequities and disparities in the US, particularly within vulnerable communities such as Hispanic/Latino gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (HLMSM).
Building a Microbiome Data Platform and Conducting Clinical Evidence Research in Individuals Infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B virus.
This study seeks to improve mental health, pregnancy, and HIV outcomes among pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV with common mental health disorders in Kenya. The investigators will tailor a collaborative care model for peripartum women with HIV experiencing mental health symptoms and evaluate its impact on participants' mental health, antenatal, and HIV care outcomes. The investigators will actively engage key stakeholders throughout the process and assess scalability and sustainability through multi-method approaches. This study will contribute to the overall goal of achieving optimal health outcomes for women living with HIV and their families in sub-Saharan Africa.
The goal of this study is to evaluate an integrated technology system that confirms ingestion of oral PrEP, monitors adherence both in real-time and longitudinally, and provides visual feedback mechanisms to promote enhanced adherence behaviors.
