Large Scale Transition to a Dolutegravir-based First-line ART in the South: Virological Response...
HIV InfectionsMain objective The main objective of the study is to assess the virological efficacy of a Dolutegravir-based first-line ART in use under real-life conditions in national programs in resource-limited settings in patients infected with HIV-1 and initially under a NNRTI-based first-line, and determine the impact of NRTI resistance on the success of the new strategy. Secondary objectives Determine the level of virological suppression (HIV-1 RNA <200 copies/ml) at 6, 12 and 24 months after transition from an NNRTI first-line to a DTG first-line. Determine the level of virological suppression at the WHO threshold (HIV-1 RNA <1000 copies/ml). To determine the frequency of development of resistance and the profiles of mutations in patients with virological failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥200 copies/ml) and the potential impact on the 2nd line strategies combining DTG and currently recommended by the WHO. To determine the impact of pre-transition resistance to NRTIs on the virological suppression under DTG first-line and on the development of resistance to integrase inhibitors. Study pre-transition resistance acquired under DTG first-lines at the thresholds of 20% and 5% of the viral population, respectively using Sanger and Ultra-deep Sequencing (UDS) approaches. Identify program factors associated with virological failure and/or the development of drug resistance.

Optimizing Smoking Cessation for People With HIV/AIDS Who Smoke
SmokingHIVThe single greatest health behavior change that could improve cardiovascular morbidity and associated mortality is to assist people living with HIV/AIDS who smoke to quit. The investigators will use a factorial design to evaluate the most promising behavioral and pharmacologic treatments aimed at achieving maximal efficacy for smoking cessation among people living with HIV/AIDS who smoke. Results of this study will provide crucial, real world evidence of the best way for healthcare providers to help smokers living with HIV/AIDS quit smoking.

Safety and Efficacy of Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) for 6 Weeks...
Hepatitis C Infection With HIV Co-InfectionThe primary objectives of this study are to determine the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) in adults with acute genotype 1 or 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) and chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 co-infection.

Integrase and Maraviroc Intensification in Neurocognitive Dysfunction (InMIND)
HIV InfectionsPeople infected with HIV often have cognitive dysfunction even if they are on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and have undetectable viral loads. The study evaluated if the addition of maraviroc (MVC) and dolutegravir (DTG) (which are two antiretroviral [ARV] medications) to participants' existing ART regimens improved participants' neurocognitive performance.

Safety and Virologic Effect of a Human Monoclonal Antibody (VRC01) Administered Intravenously to...
HIV InfectionsThis study will evaluate the safety and virologic effect of an experimental human monoclonal antibody (mAb), VRC-HIVMAB060-00-AB (VRC01), alone or in combination with antiretroviral therapy (ART), in adults during early acute HIV infection.

Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetic (PK) Interactions Between GSK3640254 and Dolutegravir (DTG)...
HIV InfectionsThis is an open-label, single-sequence, two-way drug interaction study to investigate the PK, safety and tolerability of GSK3640254 and DTG when administered alone or in combination in healthy subjects. Treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection frequently involves combination therapy. Data from this study will contribute to dosing recommendations when GSK3640254 and DTG are given in combination. The study will consist of a Screening period and 3 sequential treatment periods. Subjects will be administered DTG 50 milligrams (mg) once daily (QD) in Period 1 followed by GSK3640254 200 mg QD in Period 2. There will be a washout period of 4 days between Periods 1 and 2. In Period 3, subjects will be co-administered DTG 50 mg QD and GSK3640254 200 mg QD. The total duration of the study will be approximately 55 days, including Screening.

VGX-3100 Delivered Intramuscularly (IM) Followed by Electroporation (EP) for the Treatment of HPV-16...
Anal NeoplasmThis is a phase 2, open-label efficacy study of VGX-3100 administered by intramuscular (IM) injection followed by electroporation (EP) in adult men and women who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative with histologically confirmed anal or anal/peri-anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) associated with human papilloma virus (HPV)-16 and/or HPV-18. Approximately 24 participants will receive at least 3 doses of VGX-3100.

Retention in HIV Care for Hispanic Immigrants
HIV/AIDSA randomized trial to test the feasibility and acceptability of an intervention to improve retention in HIV primary care in HIV-infected Hispanic immigrants compared to a "treatment as usual" condition. We will measure feasibility, acceptability, study retention, and effect sizes of outcomes in order to inform a larger trial. The intervention design is based on qualitative research with HIV-infected Hispanic immigrants and their HIV providers. The intervention will be led by a Spanish-speaking community health worker trained in HIV health promotion.

Effectiveness & Implementation of a Behavioral Intervention for Adherence and Substance Use in HIV...
Human Immunodeficiency VirusAlcohol-Related Disorders1 moreThe purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and implementation of a brief, integrated behavioral intervention for HIV medication adherence and substance use in the HIV care setting in South Africa. The intervention is specifically designed to be implemented by non-specialist counselors using a task sharing model in local HIV clinics. The behavioral intervention will be compared to usual care, enhanced with referral to a local outpatient substance use treatment program (Enhanced Standard of Care - ESOC) on study endpoints (as described in study endpoint section below).

A Phase IIb Study to Evaluate a Long-Acting Intramuscular Regimen for Maintenance of Virologic Suppression...
InfectionHuman Immunodeficiency Virus1 moreThis study is a Phase IIb, randomized, multicentre, parallel group, open-label, study having an overall objective to evaluate the antiviral activity, tolerability, and safety of two intramuscular (IM) dosing regimens of GSK744 LA plus TMC278 LA, relative to GSK744 30 milligram (mg) plus Abacavir/Lamivudine (ABC/3TC) given orally once daily (QD), in HIV-1 infected antiretroviral-naïve subjects. GSK744 is the oral formulation of GSK1265744 (cabotegravir), GSK744 LA is the long acting injectable formulation of GSK1265744 and TMC278 LA is the long acting injectable formulation of TMC278. The study will consist of three parts: an Induction Period, Maintenance Period and Extension Period. There is also a Long-Term Follow Up Period for subjects who withdraw from the study and have received at least one dose of GSK744 LA and / or TMC278 LA. In the Induction Period, eligible subjects will receive a combination of an oral regimen of 30 mg of GSK744 and 600/300 mg of ABC/3TC, once daily for 20 weeks. In the Maintenance Period, eligible subjects will be randomized 2:2:1 at Day 1 to receive an IM regimen of GSK744 LA 400 mg + TMC278 LA 600 mg every 4 weeks for 96 weeks (Q4W), an IM regimen of GSK744 LA 600 mg + TMC278 LA 900 mg every 8 weeks for 96 weeks (Q8W), or to continue on the oral Induction Period regimen of GSK744 30 mg + ABC/3TC once daily for 96 weeks (or 104 weeks if continuing on to the Extension Period). The Extension Period will allow for a collection of longer term efficacy and safety and tolerability data from subjects receiving GSK744 LA and TMC278 LA. The study will involve sufficient subjects at screening in order to ensure a total of approximately 265 subjects at the beginning of the Induction Period and approximately 225 subjects randomized into the Maintenance Period.
