  • Decay of HIV-1 Reservoirs in Participants on Long-Term ART

    Official Title

    Decay of HIV-1 Reservoirs in Participants on Long-Term Antiretroviral Therapy: The ACTG HIV Reservoirs Cohort (AHRC) Study

    Purpose

    The purpose of this study is to examine longitudinal changes in HIV-1 reservoirs among participants with HIV-1 who are either currently receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) or who received ART previously. Participants will undergo blood and hair sample collections for immunologic, virologic, and pharmacologic evaluations to study HIV-1 reservoirs in the body.

  • Native-like Envelope Trimer Immunization (NETI) in HIV-1 Infected Adults

    Official Title

    Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of Recombinant HIV Envelope Protein VRC-HIVRGP096-00-VP (Trimer 4571) vaccine, in HIV-1 Infected Adults on suppressive ART

    Purpose

    The goal of this research study is to see if an investigational vaccine called Trimer 4571 is safe and well tolerated. Additionally, researchers will see if it will help the immune system produce broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against HIV. bNAbs are a type of antibody that can recognize and block many types of HIV from entering healthy cells. Trimer 4571 is a vaccine designed to stimulate the development of bnAbs against HIV.
