Active clinical trials for "HIV Infections"

The main goal is to confirm, among HIV1-infected patients, data from in vitro studies showing that antiretroviral therapies induce an accelerated aging through the same mechanisms than genetic laminopathies or than "physiological " aging, that is through the synthesis and persistence of farnesylated prelamin A. The secondary goal is to measure the impact of HIV infection and of antiretroviral therapies on markers of cell ageing (proteasome, mitochondria, telomere). The perspective is to fix antiretroviral therapy side effects using the same drug combination that will be used in few weeks in Marseille to treat children suffering from progeria

Primary Objective: To determine the mechanism of Cytolin's effect on HIV replication from blood drawn from HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals after exposure to Cytolin.

This study will evaluate whether childhood experiences are related to current sexual behavior of adult women.

The P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a membranous transporter that modulates the intracellular concentrations of many drugs and plays thus a major role in the efficacy of the therapeutics that act within the lymphocytes, such as antiretroviral drugs. We aim at studying the evolution of this transporter's expression and activity on lymphocytes in relation with the human development from newborns to adults. We also aim at studying the influence of HIV and antiretroviral treatments on this transporter, especially anti-protease drugs, within the children population.

This study looks at the ways indinavir drug levels, when boosted with ritonavir, may vary from patient to patient. The study population are HIV+ Thai individuals.

The purpose of this study is to understand the effects of decreased functioning of the testes or ovaries on mental performance in males and females using illicit drugs excluding marijuana.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a psycho-educational intervention can help people living with HIV handle the changes of treatment adherence.

The purpose of this study is to observe the way two different anti-HIV treatment strategies affect nerve and brain function in adults with HIV.

The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of certain anti-HIV medications on mitochondrial activity and fat cell death. This study will enroll participants from another study, ACTG A5202, who are on treatment regimens that do not include zidovudine, stavudine, or other thymidine-containing anti-HIV medications.

This study is a cross sectional observational study to evaluate the prevalence of HLA-B*5701 in the major French ethnotypes. Any HIV-1 infected subject will be eligible for this study including antiretroviral therapy (ART) naÃ-ve and experienced subjects irrespective of abacavir use, as well as subjects previously tested for HLA-B*5701. Subjects will be approached during a standard clinic visit, and all subjects will be consented prior to any study specific procedure. Subjects will be asked to provide a tissue sample (cheek cells and blood sample) which will be used to assess HLA-B*5701 status by central and local methodologies.
