A Prospective, Observational Study of HIV-Infected Pregnant Women and Their Infants at Clinical...

Pregnant HIV Positive Women

By the end of 1999, it was estimated that 1.2 million children were living with HIV infection. During 1999 alone, 600,000 children were newly infected with HIV, mostly in less-developed countries. Most HIV-infected children are infected by transmission from mother to child during pregnancy, at birth, or through breast milk. Antiretroviral medications, cesarean section before rupture of membranes, and avoidance of breastfeeding are ways to reduce the risk of transmission. This study will determine mother-to-child transmission rates and the effects on infants of exposure to antiretroviral medications and mode of delivery. Approximately 180 to 240 HIV-infected pregnant women in Mexico and Argentina will be enrolled during the first year of this 5-year study. HIV-infected women will be evaluated during pregnancy, during delivery, and 6 months after delivery. At each visit, a history will be taken and physical examination given; blood will be collected for laboratory tests. HIV-exposed infants will be evaluated through 6 months of age. At each of 2 visits, a history will be taken and physical examination given; blood will be collected for laboratory tests; and growth will be assessed.

Relationship Between Neuromuscular Fatigue, Perceived Tiredness and Level Of Physical Activity of...

HIV Seropositivity

Fatigue is a common symptom in people living with HIV (PHAs) that affects all aspects of life . This would include physical deconditioning, a reduction in motor skills . Numerous studies show that physical activity brings benefits for the quality of life of PHAs . However, due to the predominantly reported fatigue, many PHAs are not physically active enough in relation to these recommendations. While it is recognized that fatigue is predominant in PHAs, this complaint has mainly been subjectively quantified and has rarely been physically objectified a better understanding of the relationship between neuromuscular fatigue, perceived fatigue and the level of physical activity of PHAs is needed in line with current work on integrating fatigue. OBJECTIVES This project, based on an integrative (eg, neurophysiological and psychological) approach to fatigue, aims to better explain and prevent the vicious circle of physical deconditioning in PHAs by examining the relationships between neuromuscular fatigue, perceived fatigue, Physical activity of patients. The main objective of the study will be to compare the characteristics of neuromuscular fatigue in physically active or inactive PHAs. The secondary objective will be to examine the relationship between neuromuscular fatigue, level of physical activity and perceived physical fatigue of PHAs. CONDUCT OF THE STUDY Cross-sectional comparative study without individual benefit for the patient. Monocentric test to quantify and relate neuromuscular fatigue, perceived physical fatigue, and physical activity level. The main inclusion criteria for this study are: PLHIV aged between 40 and 60; Diagnosed and treated with antivirals after 1996, irrespective of the value of the viral load and CD4 lymphocyte level at the last assessment; The physical activity level of the patients will be evaluated before the start of the study in order to constitute two distinct groups Principal evaluation criterion: Investigation of the neurophysiological characteristics of fatigue will be done by recording the capacity to produce force at the level of the extensor muscles of the knee under conditions of voluntary contractions and evoked by magnetic stimulation at the level of Femoral nerve. Secondary evaluation criteria: the investigation of the perceived fatigue will be done by a valid psychometric questionnaire.

Complementary & Alternative Medicine Use in HIV+ Latinos in the US-Mexico Border

HIV Positive

The goal of The investigators community-based participatory research study is to identify the nature and extent of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use among HIV-positive Latinos on the San Diego/Tijuana border. CAM use among US Latinos living with HIV is associated with delayed utilization of and poor adherence to antiretroviral therapies (ARVs) that may exacerbate health disparities in HIV care access and health outcomes. This study will lead to development of culturally-effective interventions to improve access and adherence to HIV care in Latinos who face health disparities. The investigators hypothesis is that greater use of CAM will be observed among HIV-positive Latinos who report a) crossing the U.S. border more frequently, and b) having migrated to Tijuana or San Diego (e.g. from southern Mexico). The investigators also hypothesize that compared to HIV-positive Latinos who report using herbal CAM, those who do not use herbal CAM are more likely to be receiving ARVs and report higher levels of adherence to ARVs; Compared to HIV-positive Latinos who do not attend religious services regularly, those who attend religious services regularly are more likely to be receiving ARV; Compared to HIV- positive Latinos who report experiencing HIV related stigma, those who do not report experiencing HIV-related stigma are significantly more likely to be receiving ARVs.

Evaluation of Post-SARS-CoV-2 Vaccinal Response in Immunocompromised Patients

HIV SeropositivityImmunodeficiency2 more

The aim of this study is to identify both the humoral immunological response through the detection of induced antibodies and the cellular immunological response through the detection of interferon gamma production by functional CD4+ and CD8+ cells in different groups of immunocompromised patients. For antibody detection, LIAISON® SARS-CoV-2 TrimericS assay (DiaSorin) will be used and for the evaluation of cellular immunity - QuantiFERON SARS-CoV-2 assay (QIAGEN).

Revealing Increased Axonal Loss in Treated HIV Patients

HIV Seropositivity

HIV patients may suffer sooner from aging than average population, including brain aging. Our hypothesis is that if brain dysfunctions are explained by a quicker loss of neurons in HIV patients, this loss could be detected earlier by a thinning down of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), compared to non HIV patients of the same age.
