Filter by:The overall goal of this project is to determine the influence of patient treatment and host factors on repeat Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infections among HIV-negative women
The objective of this study was to prove the bioequivalence of Roxane Laboratories' Tinidazole 500 mg Tablet under fed conditions.
To evaluate the efficacy of the adapted program a randomized controlled trial enrolling 620 eligible African American men who have sex with men (MSM) will be conducted. Men in the treatment condition will be compared to men receiving the control condition comprised of standard of care counseling from the clinic plus a free bag of condoms and water-based lubricants. This two-arm trial will test four hypotheses: Aim: To test the efficacy of a brief, clinic-based and theory-guided, intervention designed to reduce STD incidence and risk of HIV acquisition/transmission among young African American men (15-29 years old) having sex with men and presenting for STD testing. H1. Men randomized to receive the intervention will have a lower incidence rate of laboratory-confirmed STDs at each of three follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H2. Men randomized to receive the intervention will report significantly fewer acts of unprotected penetrative sex (penile-vaginal or penile-anal) between follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H3. Men randomized to receive the intervention will report having significantly fewer unprotected penetrative sex partners (for penile-vaginal or penile-anal sex) between follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H4. Men randomized to receive the intervention will report having significantly fewer negative experiences with condom use between follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H5. Men randomized to receive the intervention will demonstrate significantly greater improvement in condom application skills, throughout the 12-month study, compared to those receiving the control condition.
The objective of this study is to obtain female first-catch urine, vaginal swab, endocervical swab, and cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution ("PreservCyt Specimens") for testing with the APTIMA Trichomonas vaginalis (ATV) Assay. These specimens will be used to demonstrate assay performance on the PANTHER System is comparable to performance on the TIGRIS System.
The investigators are trying a combination vaginal product of higher dose metronidazole combined with miconazole to see if it is effective in treating vaginal trichomonas.
This research study is about vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and trichomoniasis. Usually, these infections can be treated with medication, but sometimes they come back after treatment. Researchers want to know if using vaginal suppositories can decrease the risk of vaginal infections. Participants will include 234 women who are sexually active (greater than or equal to 4 episodes of sex with men during the past month), HIV-negative, 18 to 45 years old, with bacterial infection [vaginosis and/or vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and/or Trichomonas vaginalis] detected by laboratory testing at a screening visit. Women will receive vaginal suppositories containing drug or inactive ingredients (placebo). Participation in the study will be about 12 months. Study procedures include: urine and blood tests, physical exams, and questionnaires.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the 2 gram single dose of metronidazole is as effective as the 7 day 500 mg BID dose for treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) among HIV-infected women.
The hypothesis to be tested in this trial is that the different epidemiologic (including racial differences) and phenotypic manifestations exhibited by Trichomonas clinical isolates during infection are correlated with their genotypic strain classification. Two specific aims are proposed to test that hypothesis. Specific aim 1. Assess the significance of genotypic or phenotypic differences in the Trichomonas strains among African American women by HIV status. Specific aim 2. Determine the significance of genotypic or phenotypic differences in the Trichomonas strains circulating among women from two different racial groups, African American women and Caucasian women. The overall goals of these specific aims are to identify racial differences in the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of Trichomonas strains, and to develop the ability to identify and classify Trichomonas infections in order to prioritize treatment and epidemiologic follow-up of individuals infected with isolates associated with adverse clinical outcomes (HIV transmission or acquisition, pregnancy complications, virulence, or drug resistance).
The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence and treatment rates of T. vaginalis, C. trachomatis, and N. gonorrhoeae in women seeking emergency contraception or urine pregnancy testing in the Magee-Womens Hospital outpatient clinic using a non-invasive urine STD test.
This research is being done to see if two rapid bedside tests (OSOM Trichomonas Rapid Test and BVBlue Test) that give results in 10 minutes are as accurate as standard tests (that take up to 7 days to get results) to diagnose common vaginal infections (Trichomonas and bacterial vaginosis). Both rapid tests (OSOM and BVBlue) are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used by healthcare professionals to aid in the diagnosis of these infections. This study is being done to validate (or confirm)the accuracy of these tests. This study may help researchers decide if these tests could be used in remote research settings (in place of the standard office testing) to increase diagnosis and prompt treatment of these vaginal infections.
