Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

The purpose of this study is to find the most effective and safe treatment to prevent the passage of HIV from an infected mother to her baby.

This study tested the hypothesis that multivitamin supplementation given to HIV+ pregnant women in Tanzania would slow disease progression and enhance their overall health.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a behavioral intervention program versus standard prevention case management in promoting safer sex practices in HIV-infected men.

The purpose of this study is to test whether a multi-component, community-level, HIV-prevention intervention is more effective than existing HIV prevention activities in reducing unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) among men ages 15-25 who have sex with men.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of a peer-educator intervention focused on injection drug users and their drug and sexual networks. We expect that participants who receive the intervention will demonstrate a reduction in the rate of HIV infection and HIV risk behaviors and members of their risk network will also demonstrate reductions in risk behaviors compared to those in the control group.

To determine whether a regimen of single dose nevirapine combined with either 4 or 7 days of Combivir®, compared to a regimen of single dose nevirapine, for the prevention of mother to child transmission can reduce the rate of development of drug resistant mutations of HIV-1, in HIV-1 infected pregnant women, who have not received antiretroviral therapy previously.

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of and immune response to a DNA HIV vaccine followed by an adenoviral vector HIV vaccine in HIV uninfected adults.

To prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV in resource-limited countries, a simple yet effective treatment plan is needed. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is an anti-HIV drug approved for use in the United States for the treatment of HIV infected adults. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and blood levels of TDF in HIV infected pregnant women and their babies. The study will be conducted at sites in Malawi and Brazil.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of and immune response to an HIV-1 vaccine, ALVAC-HIV vCP1521, given to infants born to HIV-1 infected mothers in Uganda.

Most infants infected with HIV through mother-to-child transmission (MTCT, or perinatal transmission) become infected during labor and delivery. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of a single dose of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) or emtricitabine/TDF (FTC/TDF) given at the time of labor to HIV infected pregnant women and to their newborn infants.
