Blood and Cell Collection Study for HIV Research
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Be willing to have blood drawn or undergo apheresis (a procedure that collects specific blood cells and returns the rest to your body)
- Agree to let researchers store your blood samples and test your tissue type (HLA testing)
- Either have HIV and a strong immune response to it, have HIV with typical disease progression, or be a family member of someone with HIV
- Not be pregnant
- Be in stable health without severe heart, blood, or clotting problems

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 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 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.
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 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 study collects blood to help researchers run multiple projects, including comparing people who are HIV-negative with people who have HIV. It may help advance knowledge that could improve future testing or treatments.
