HIV and HCV Infections in 2 Communes From the Battambang Province, Cambodia: Prevalence Rates, Viral...
HIV SeropositivityHCV InfectionThis cross-sectional survey will be conducted prospectively in 2 communes in the Battambang Province, Roka and Prey Khpos commune. The principal objective of the study is to compare HIV and HCV prevalence rates in three groups of subjects as follows: Group 1: subjects living in Roka and Ambaeng Thngae villages where most of HIV and HCV cases were identified during the Roka outbreak in 2014-2015 Group 2: subjects living in the other 4 villages of the Roka commune (Ta Haen I and II, Pou Batdambang, and Chhung Tradak) Group 3: subjects living in selected villages from Prey Khpos commune 1,098 eligible residents will be selected using three-stage cluster sampling method. A structure questionnaire will assess the medical injection practices through face-to-face interview. The study will be conducted into two steps. The first step will be a prevalence study to assess HIV and HCV prevalence rates in three groups of subject; Group 1: subjects living in Roka and Ambaeng Thngae villages where most of HIV and HCV cases were identified during the Roka outbreak; Group 2: subjects living in the other 4 villages of the Roka commune (Ta Haen I and II, Pou Batdambang, and Chhung Tradak) and Group 3: subjects living in villages from Prey Khpos commune).The second step will be the phylogenetic study of HIV. The phylogenetic study of HIV will be performed ONLY if HIV prevalence rates among group 2 and/or group 3 is higher or equal to 0.7% (upper limit of confidence interval of HIV prevalence estimated in Cambodia)
National Cohort of Children Born to HIV-positive Mothers
Mother to Child Transmission of HIVThe purpose of this study is to provide a surveillance system to monitor changes in the rate of mother to child HIV transmission and preventive practices in France and especially to identify the occurrence of toxicity in children exposed perinatally to antiretroviral drugs.
HIV in Orthopaedic Skeletal Trauma Study
Fracture Healing in HIV-positive PatientsAdult patients > 18 years with fresh (within 2 weeks of injury), closed and open, tibia and femur fractures who undergo IM nailing for fracture fixation will be eligible for the study. Participants will be recruited over 24 months. Participants will undergo a baseline questionnaire, HIV testing and assessment of their BMD. They will be followed up at 6 weeks, and 3, 6 and 12 months. All adult patients who develop delayed bone union at 6 month follow up will be considered cases. Adult patients who show evidence of radiological union at 6 months or less will be considered controls.
Investigation of the Psychosocial Factors Responsible for the Late Recourse to HIV Testing Within...
AIDSHIV SeropositivityThe present study will try to investigate and analyze the psycho-social hindrances and levers concerning the recourse to late HIV testing among the MSM population. This study is divided in two parts. The first one will consist of individual and groups interviews. Then, depending on the items that will rise from the first part of the study, groups interview will take place based on theses items. Finally, a questionnaire build from the collected information will be sent to MSM community in order to obtain quantitative results.
Developing a Functional Cure for HIV Disease: Clinical Specimen Collection From HIV Positive Individuals...
HIV InfectionsClinical specimens are required from HIV positive individuals with viremia controlled by antiretroviral therapy to complete process development for a genetically modified autologous T cell product, AGT103-T. The product will be used in a subsequent early stage clinical trial in subjects with chronic HIV disease and viremia suppressed by antiretroviral therapy as the initial step in testing a functional cure for HIV disease. Enrolled participants provide a venous blood specimen (approximately 25mL) to determine their level of HIV-reactive CD4+ T cells. Subjects with positive T cell responses will be asked to undergo leukapheresis and their clinical specimens will be used to validate and qualify the AGT103-T cell product.
