Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 16 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects will be recruited from the community or from existing ADARC clinical trials. Participants will give written informed consent.

Who may be able to join

  • Group A: HIV-1 infected individuals at least 16 years of age with HIV-1 RNA detectable in the blood (>2000 copies/ml) and one of the following:
  • a negative test for HIV-1 antibodies
  • an indeterminate test for HIV-1 antibodies
  • a positive test for HIV-1 antibodies with an immature Western Blot (less than 5 bands) which subsequently matures (addition of 2 or more bands)
  • a positive test for HIV-1 antibodies and a documented negative test within 6 months of presentation
  • a positive test for HIV-1 antibodies with a simultaneous negative low sensitivity ("detuned") assay (S/C <15)
  • Individuals must be able and willing to provide written informed consent
  • Group B: Approximately 90 individuals diagnosed with acute HIV-1 infection in the past who have been participating in an ADARC/Rockefeller University Hospital protocol involving treatment of acute HIV-1 infection and are currently on that regimen with HIV-1 RNA consistently less than 50 copies/ml and are interested in changing to a protease inhibitor-sparing regimen or may continue to be treated with medications provided or taken as part of a completed ADARC/RUH study of the treatment of acute and early HIV infection

Who cannot join

  • Individuals less than 16 years of age
  • Individuals who are unable or unwilling to provide written informed consent

About this study

Group A: Long-term follow-up is needed for subjects identified as acute or early in the course of HIV-1 infection, independent of decisions regarding therapy with highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART).

Group B: This protocol will also be offered to subjects who were diagnosed with acute HIV-1 infection in the past and have been participating in an ADARC/Rockefeller University Hospital treatment protocol for acute HIV-1 infection, and currently have a viral load consistently less than 50 copies/ml on current treatment (Group B)

Read the detailed description

At the initial visit: subjects will undergo a complete history and physical examination. They will have blood drawn for HIV-1 antibody testing, resistance testing, and lymphocyte subsets. In addition, blood will be drawn for hematology, chemistries, and syphilis, and Hepatitis B and C serologies.

Individuals in Group B will not have HIV-1 antibody testing, resistance testing, or Hepatitis B and C serologies performed, as these would have been performed as part of their current protocol. Individuals electing to initiate antiretroviral therapy will obtain standard HAART as prescribed by their physicians.

Group A subjects will be seen at Weeks 4, and 12 ,then every 12 weeks until week 48, then every 24 weeks until week 96. If treated during acute and early infection, then they will be seen every 48 weeks thereafter for 5 years. If untreated during acute and early infection, then they will be discontinued from the study.

Group B participants who have been followed for less than 96 weeks will be seen every 12 weeks until week 48, then every 24 weeks until week 96.

Participants currently enrolled beyond week 96 who were treated during acute and early infection, and whose treatment was uninterrupted, will be seen every 48 weeks. If participants were not treated during acute and early infection, or treatment was interrupted, then they will be discontinued from the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections, run by Rockefeller University at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 2 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 17 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Development of AIDS or AIDS-defining conditions as per the CDC (time frame: end of study). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 17 Feb 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
