HIV testing and treatment for newborns
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to test and treat newborns for HIV early to improve their long-term health. It is for mothers with HIV whose babies are less than 3 days old and who are willing to have their babies tested and followed at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study gives very early, intensive HIV medicine to infants diagnosed with HIV and follows them closely to see if HIV can go into remission (stop being detectable without ongoing treatment). It may help families understand whether treating right after birth can change a child’s long-term HIV outlook.
This study tests whether giving a combination of two lab-made antibodies (PGT121.414.LS and VRC07-523LS) to newborns exposed to HIV during pregnancy is safe and how the body processes them. It may help protect infants from getting HIV after birth.
This trial tests whether an experimental HIV vaccine, given with an adjuvant to boost the immune response, is safe and produces an immune response in infants who were exposed to HIV in the womb but are not infected. The study aims to help protect these vulnerable infants.
This study tests a long-acting injectable HIV prevention medicine called cabotegravir in newborn babies who were exposed to HIV. The goal is to see if it can help protect them from getting HIV.
This trial tests whether giving a special neutralizing antibody (bNAb) early to infants living with HIV can help their immune system fight the virus better. It's for babies under 1 year old who are starting HIV treatment for the first time.
This trial tests whether giving early neutralizing antibodies can help infants living with HIV control the virus better. It aims to improve their long-term health.
