This study looks at HPV infection and the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina in women with HIV. It aims to understand how these factors affect health and may guide future prevention or treatment.
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 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 study is looking at the bacteria living in the vagina to understand what makes a healthy microbiome in African women. You will provide self-collected swabs and attend visits to help researchers learn more about vaginal health.
This study looks at the vaginal “microbiome” (the normal germs and bacteria in the vagina) in people who have had abnormal Pap smear or colposcopy results related to HPV. It may help doctors understand what to monitor and how to better identify early, pre-cancer changes in the cervix.
