Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of and immune system response to the ALVAC-HIV (vCP205) vaccine when it is injected either into the groin area or into the arm. The goal is to determine if injecting the vaccine into the groin area produces a better immune response in the lining of the rectum.

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of and immune response to an investigational HIV vaccine, VRC-HIVDNA016-00-VP, and a vaccine booster, VRC-HIVADV014-00-VP, in HIV uninfected adults from Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of and immune response to an investigational HIV vaccine, VRC-HIVADV014-00-VP, with or without a second investigational HIV vaccine, VRC-HIVDNA016-00-VP, in HIV uninfected adults.

The purpose of this study is to examine safety and tolerability of daily tenofovir use in HIV-uninfected men.

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of and immune response to the investigational HIV vaccine, EP HIV-1090, in HIV uninfected adults.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether providing zidovudine (ZDV) and didanosine (ddI) during labor and for one month postpartum can reduce the selection of nevirapine (NVP) resistance mutations postpartum in women who received a single dose of nevirapine during labor and standard ZDV prophylaxis for the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV.

This study will help determine whether the agent UC-781, formulated as a gel, is safe when applied to the vagina twice daily for 14 days. It will also assess whether women find the gel acceptable to use.

Confirm the safety of maraviroc when used as a component of combination antiretroviral therapy in HIV and Hepatitis co-infected patients.

This study will examine whether pairing a grade 6 in-school HIV education program and a parent training program will reduce prevalence of behaviors that present high risk of HIV infection in youth in the Bahamas. In a continuation of this study, we shall examine whether an in-school HIV prevention program delivered to grade 10 students reduces HIV risk behavior and the impact of both the grade 6 intervention and the grade 10 intervention compared to the grade 6 intervention alone.

Men who have sex with men (MSM) account for the greatest burden of the HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) epidemic in Peru. Current interventions that promote early identification and treatment of these diseases target a limited number of this population because they rely solely on peer education. To assess the use of the Internet as an alternative tool to reach this population the investigators propose to conduct an online randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of HIV-testing motivational videos versus standard public health text, both offered through gay websites. The methodology the investigators will use is divided in: (1) the development period, where the investigators will select gay websites for banner advertisement, create and refine effective recruitment messages and design the online survey and the video-based intervention (2) the intervention period, where participants who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized into a video or a standard public health text. The videos will be customized for three audiences based on self-identification: gay, non-gay and trans and will be framed within the health-belief model and the stages of change theory (3) in the outcome evaluation period we will compare the 'intentions to get tested' and 'time to HIV testing at the clinic' among MSM of each of the trial arms. If the Internet is an effective venue to reach MSM for HIV testing, Peruvian health programs that target this population may start considering the delivery of web-based interventions and other online prevention services to this under served and hard-to-reach population.
