Identification of Broadly HIV-1 Neutralizing Antibodies (bNAb) in HIV-infected Patients in Mbeya,...
HIV/AIDSIn natural HIV disease, a small fraction (1-2%) of infected individuals develops exceptionally high titres of HIV-1 neutralizing serum activity. Antibodies isolated from these individuals have been shown to be highly active against a broad range of different HIV strains and are therefore called broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs). These antibodies are in fact able to prevent (S)HIV infection in animal models and therefore of great interest for the development of an HIV vaccine. Information of neutralizing antibodies in patients from Africa is still scarce and would be of great value in the development of adapted HIV vaccine strategies in these regions. This study aims to investigate African HIV-infected individuals, who have developed neutralizing antibodies using highly specialized laboratory methodologies.
HIV/AIDS & Alcohol-Related Outcomes: Translational Evidence-Based Interventions
HIV/AIDSA clinical study for patients with HIV that investigates the best way to reduce HIV transmission risk, and to improve the overall health of people living with HIV/AIDS. Participants will complete four assessments over the course of one year and will be randomly assigned to a five-week treatment program.
Addressing Psychosocial Comorbidities in HIV Treatment and Prevention
Human Immunodeficiency VirusDepression1 moreProject AProaCH is an open pilot trial of a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for individuals with HIV with various psychological comorbidities, which the investigators call "syndemics". Syndemics are co-occurring psychosocial problems that interact with each other and with health behavior such as HIV sexual transmission risk behavior and adherence to self care.

HIV InfectionsTo provide zalcitabine ( dideoxycytidine; ddC ) for use with zidovudine ( AZT ) in patients with advanced HIV infection. To observe serious toxicities in this population.
A Study of Two Forms of Pentamidine in the Treatment of Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia (PCP) in...
PneumoniaPneumocystis Carinii1 moreTo compare parenteral versus inhaled pentamidine in patients with documented Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) with AIDS.
The Effect of Raltegravir on HIV Decay During Primary and Chronic Infection
HIV InfectionThe purpose of this study is to measure the decay characteristics of HIV in the blood of patients after taking a combination of anti-HIV drugs, which includes a new class of anti-HIV drug, an integrase inhibitor. This study explores how this new combination of therapy reduces virus in various compartments of the body and immune system.
When to Start Anti-HIV Drugs in Children Infected With HIV (The PREDICT Study)
HIV InfectionsThe purpose of this study is to determine when HIV infected children should begin taking anti-HIV medications in order to improve both patient quality of life and survival.
Trauma Informed Intervention to Support Engagement in HIV Care Among MSM (THRIVE+)
HIV/AIDSTraumaThis purpose of this project is to specify and provide an initial test of a 10 session, individual-based cognitive therapy intervention to address symptoms of PTSD and poor engagement in HIV care among men who have sex with men (MSM) with trauma histories
Bioavailability of Doravirine (MK-1439) Experimental Nano Formulations in Healthy Adults (MK-1439-046)...
Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1)This study aims to evaluate and compare the relative bioavailability of different doravirine (MK-1439) experimental nano formulations (NFs) with that of a doravirine film coated tablet.
A Phase 1 Antiretroviral Drug-Drug Interaction Study in Healthy Volunteers (DDI)
InfectionHuman Immunodeficiency VirusThis is an open-label, single sequence, 2-cohort, drug-drug interaction study in healthy male and female subjects. There is no formal hypothesis, however, it is expected that the coadministration of BMS-663068 with darunavir (DRV)/cobicistat (COBI) or COBI will increase the systemic exposure of BMS-626529.
