Lab study of dormant HIV using samples from you
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This trial collects blood samples from people living with HIV to study dormant (inactive) HIV cells in the lab. The goal is to better understand how to target these hidden cells as part of an eventual cure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a confirmed HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection
- You can have blood drawn (phlebotomy) for the study
- You can safely have a vein catheter placed (about 2.5 cm) if needed
- You do not have major current health problems that make the study unsafe, such as severe symptomatic anemia or a recent major heart-related event
- Your healthcare team agrees you’re able to take part based on your medical and personal situation

This study looks at how the immune system and HIV behave in people on long-term HIV treatment (ART), using blood samples that will be stored for future tests for up to 20 years. It may help researchers understand how well treatment is controlling HIV and improve future care.
This study tests whether giving two experimental drugs together can help your immune system find and destroy hidden HIV cells. It aims to see if this approach can reduce the amount of virus in your body even while you're on your regular HIV medications.
This trial tests a new type of medicine that aims to wake up HIV hiding in your body's cells by targeting a viral protein called Tat. The goal is to help find a way to clear the virus completely.
This study compares how active the immune system is and how large the “hidden” HIV reservoir is in people on two different HIV treatment types. It may help researchers understand whether staying on a tenofovir-containing regimen leads to better control of HIV hiding in the body.
This is an observational study that follows people to better understand how HIV and other infections (like sexually transmitted infections) happen and change over time. It may help researchers improve prevention and care, but it is mainly for monitoring rather than testing a new treatment.
This study looks at how HIV can stay hidden in the gut even when antiretroviral therapy keeps the virus under control. By examining tissue from a routine colonoscopy, researchers hope to learn more about why HIV persists, which could lead to better treatments.
