Accuracy of the Pima™ CD4 Test for Enumeration of CD4+ T-Cell Counts
HIV InfectionAIDS1 moreThis is a multi-center study designed to assess the accuracy of Pima™ CD4 Test to enumerate CD4+ T-cells in whole blood over the measurement range expected for the intended population. The Pima CD4 Test consists of the Pima™ CD4 cartridge and Pima™ Analyzer to identify and determine the absolute counts of mature helper (CD3+/CD4+) T-lymphocytes in whole blood.
Impact of Anti-HIV Treatment on Labor Productivity and Costs in South Africa
HIV InfectionsThe purpose of this study is to determine the impact of anti-HIV treatment on the work attendance of employed people in South Africa. The study will enroll participants from a large manufacturing and distribution firm in South Africa.
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of an Anti-HIV Drug in Israeli Ethiopian and Non-Ethiopian...
HIV InfectionAIDSThe objective of this proposal is based on the assumption that the HIV infected Ethiopian population responded in a different way in comparison to the Caucasian subjects to Lopinavir therapy. Our preliminary data demonstrated that Ethiopian's have different Lopinavir serum concentration in comparison to non-Ethiopian's. For these reasons the plan of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profile in both populations. The results will allow to establish a better personalised medicine for HIV infected individuals.
Early Access of MK0518 in Combination With an Optimized Background Antiretroviral Therapy (0518-023)...
HIV InfectionsThis is a treatment use study to provide early access to MK0518 for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in patients who have limited or no treatment options due to virological failure, resistance, or intolerance to multiple antiretroviral regimens. Enrollment in this study is patient driven. Investigators are not proactively assigned. There is no target sample size and duration of the study is indefinite. For information on how to enroll in the study, see link below.

Viral Load Determination and Biomarkers of High Risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) - Types in HIV-positive...
HIV InfectionsPapillomavirus Infections1 moreHuman papillomavirus (HPV)-infection belongs to the most common sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. HIV-infected men having sex with men (MSM) are strongly associated with a higher prevalence of genital HPV-infection, a higher incidence of anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN), and, consecutively, an increased risk for anal cancer. Since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the incidence of several viral-associated neoplasias has significantly fallen in HIV-infected individuals. At the beginning of the era of HAART, a justified hope existed that genitoanal HPV-related neoplasias would also decrease based on the success of HAART-induced immune restoration. However, HAART seems to have only a small impact on the natural history of AIN as observed in a cohort of HIV-positive MSM before and after the initiation of HAART. As AIN and cancer precursor lesions of the cervix, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, share distinct clinical similarities, cytologic smear testing for AIN has been recommended to detect and treat early lesions. Thus, this prospective study mainly focuses on the predictive value of HPV-DNA load for the development and clinical progression of AIN in HIV-infected MSM. Moreover, the course of HPV viral load under therapy for anal intraepithelial neoplasia, e.g. topical treatment with imiquimod, will be evaluated. Additionally, immunohistochemical determination of several proliferative biomarkers, as well as cytokines, will be performed.
HIV Drug Resistance Pattern Due to Migration in Poland
HIV InfectionsHIV-1-infection1 moreAccording to the Polish governmental statistics migration of people from Ukraine to Poland is growing and only in year 2020 have come to Poland about a quarter of a million of Ukrainian migrants. As well, more than 40% of those diagnosed with HIV infection in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) in 2018 were also migrants, originating from countries with generalized HIV epidemics, such as Ukraine. Antiretroviral treatment should be started, based, among others, on epidemiological data and evidence of presence of drug resistance mutations in a the population.
