Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative impact a medical drug (methadone) or behavioral counseling program (Holistic Health Recovery Program) or both (methadone and Holistic Health Recovery Program) has on reducing HIV-related risk behaviors and illicit drug use among opioid-dependent, HIV-infected individuals in prison when given 90 to 180 days prior to leaving prison.
The enumeration of T lymphocytes positive for the CD4 antigen is used to determine the immune status of patients with, or suspected of developing, immune deficiencies such as AIDS. The BD FACS Presto™ is an investigational automated system for in vitro diagnostic use in performing the direct enumeration of CD4 absolute count, CD4 percentage of lymphocytes, and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in human whole blood. This is a prospective study to determine the relative bias between the investigational BD FACS Presto system and the predicate BD FACS Calibur with BD Tritest system in their determination of absolute CD4, % CD4, and Hb concentrations.
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of cognitive-based compassion training (CBCT), a meditative practice based on Buddhist teachings, on long term emotional well-being and immune system improvement with people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLHIV).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive rehabilitation or psychoeducation impacts medication adherence in HIV-1 seropositive individuals.
This is a research study in Kenya that will examine the outcomes of participants aged 10-15 and 16 and older; and provider acceptability of the Shang Ring technique for male circumcision that would simplify use. The study will be in two phases: Phase 1 will explore the no-flip technique that has been used in China but will be used for the first time in Africa. Phase 2 will be a randomized trial comparing use of tropical vs. injectable anesthesia.
This is a triple cohort, open-label pilot study of the safety and antiviral activity of a single infusion of autologous CD4+ T cells genetically modified at the CCR5 gene by Zinc Finger Nucleases SB-728mR (ZFN Modified CD4+ T Cells) using electroporated mRNA with or without the prior administration of two different doses of cyclophosphamide.
The investigatoris will carefully select cartilage-hair hypoplasia patients unexposed to varicella (VZV) and immunize patients in a controlled manner with VZV vaccine. Patients will be selected on the basis of disease severity and the degree of immunodeficiency (including CD4+ T-cell counts). Any potential complication of VZV immunization, such as rash, will be discussed with the patients/caregivers beforehand and acyclovir will be used to treat any VZV related symptoms, consistent with the current practices. The investigators will verify the development of immune response to vaccination by testing for VZV antibodies and cell-mediated immunity.
Treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection requires daily oral administration of a combination of antiretroviral drugs to reduce the patient's HIV levels. Dolutegravir (DTG), a HIV-1 integrase inhibitor (INI), and Rilpivirine (RPV), a non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), are approved for the treatment of HIV infection. This study is aimed to evaluate the relative bioavailability and food effect of single doses of several experimental fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets of Dolutegravir 50 milligrams (mg) and Rilpivirine 25 mg (DTG/RPV 50 mg/25 mg) relative to co-administration of a single dose of the reference single entity products (DTG 50 mg and RPV 25 mg) in healthy adult subjects. This is a 2-part study. Part 1 will be conducted as a randomized, open label, 3-way, crossover design in 24 subjects. Part 1 will evaluate the relative bioavailability of up to 4 test formulations relative to the reference single entity products administered in fed state. Part 2 will be conducted as a randomized, open-label, 3-way crossover design in 3 distinct cohorts each with 12 subjects. Part 2 will evaluate the relative bioavailability of up to 3 most promising FDC formulation selected from Part 1 (DTG/RPV FDC-1, DTG/RPV FDC-2, DTG/RPV FDC-3) administered in fasted and fed state. Subjects will also receive the reference treatment from Part 1 co-administered under fasted conditions. This study will consist of a screening visit, three treatment periods each with a single dose of study drug separated by a washout of at least 9 days and a follow-up visit. The total duration of participation of a subject in this study will be approximately 10 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of randomizing all young men in a neighborhood to receive: 1) soccer training; 2) soccer and vocational training; or 3) a control condition, as a means to engage young men in HIV prevention. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will reduce young men's substance use and increase HIV testing.
The purpose of this study is to determine the lopinavir levels in blood of HIV and TB infected children (3-15kg) when given lopinavir/ritonavir in a 1:1 ratio with rifampicin containing TB regimen and its safety.
