This study looks at how HPV (the virus that can cause cervical cancer) and the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina affect women who have HIV. It may help doctors understand how to better prevent cervical cancer in women with weakened immune systems.
This study looks at how changing your HIV medication affects the bacteria in your gut. You'll provide two stool samples so researchers can see what changes happen.
This study looks at how well the HPV vaccine works in women living with HIV and whether it helps make cervical cancer screening more accurate. If you are a woman with HIV between 21 and 40 years old and already part of certain other HIV studies, you may be able to join.
This study looks at the types of germs that cause infections in people with HIV. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat these infections.
This trial studies how the bacteria in your gut (“microbiome”) relate to frailty (weakness/low physical resilience) in people with HIV who are stably doing well on treatment. It may help researchers understand why some people become frail and how the gut may play a role.
This trial compares two ways to help women living with HIV get screened for cervical cancer: one uses only clinic visits, the other adds community outreach and self-testing for HPV at home. It aims to increase screening rates and catch early signs of cervical cancer.
