Understanding how HIV affects blood cells and body fluids
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This research study examines how HIV works in the blood and body fluids of people with and without HIV. By studying blood samples, researchers hope to better understand HIV infection and develop better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be 18 years old or older
- Have healthy enough veins to allow blood draws
- Have blood pressure and heart rate within safe ranges (BP ≤180/100, heart rate 50–100)
- Have adequate blood cell counts (hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL, platelets ≥50,000)
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Agree to let your blood samples be used for future HIV research

This research study collects blood cells from people recently diagnosed with HIV who haven't started HIV medicines yet. Researchers use these samples to understand how HIV affects the immune system and develop better treatments.
This study measures how much HIV is in your blood and lymph node tissue. If you qualify, you would also allow blood and other tests (including genetic and hepatitis screening), which may help researchers better understand how HIV affects the body.
This research study collects blood cells from adults with HIV and their family members to understand why some people's immune systems control HIV better than others. Researchers will use your cells to study HIV immunity and develop better treatments.
This study tests how well researchers can track HIV-related health and immune changes over time by collecting blood and other samples. It may help you and your care team by creating detailed monitoring, even if your HIV diagnosis is new or still being evaluated.
This trial uses a special blood-removal procedure called apheresis to collect either plasma or white blood cells for laboratory research. It may help scientists understand infection or immune-related processes by providing specific blood components for study.
This study looks at how HIV continues to multiply (or stays suppressed) while you are taking antiretroviral therapy, using blood samples. It may help researchers better understand what HIV is doing during treatment and why some people experience changes like viral rebound.
