About this study

Official title: HIV Prevention Preparedness Study

The purpose of this study is to set up a system for doing research on HIV prevention in various parts of the world.

In order to plan large, long-term studies on the prevention of HIV in different areas of the world, it is necessary to get certain information first. It is important to know about the rate of HIV infection and how to get people to enroll for any future studies. This study will be done at 4 study locations.

Read the detailed description

In order to realistically plan for future Phase III studies on HIV prevention, information must be obtained to characterize study population parameters at HTPN sites. Very different study designs may be required depending on these parameters, such as the ability of HPTN research centers to recruit study participants and the rate of HIV incidence observed in study populations. This study will be conducted at 4 HPTN sites to establish the necessary research knowledge and infrastructure.

This study enrolls participants from St. Petersburg, Russia; Xinjiang and Guangxi, China; and Chennai, India who are at high risk for HIV infection due to sexual and/or drug use behaviors. Participants who meet the screening criteria then complete an HIV risk assessment interview, receive HIV pre-test and risk reduction counseling, and undergo phlebotomy for HIV antibody testing. Participants who test positive are referred to available services and studies. Those who test HIV-negative and meet eligibility criteria are enrolled and maintained in follow-up over the next 12 months. Participants complete "locator contacts" at Months 3 and 9 and have follow-up visits at Months 6 and 12 for similar tests as performed at entry. In a substudy of this trial in China, participants will be interviewed about their drug use, social networks, needs, and perceptions about HIV/AIDS. These results will be used by HPTN to design more culturally sensitive and appropriate trials in the future.

An observational study of HIV Infections, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 3 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China, Russia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jan 2014.
