Thinking and memory study in teenagers living with HIV
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at thinking and memory skills in teenagers living with HIV. It compares them to HIV-negative teens to see how HIV and its treatment affect the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 13 and 19 years old.
- You must have HIV (or be HIV-negative to join as a control).
- If you have HIV, you must be taking antiretroviral therapy.
- You must be willing to sign a consent or assent form.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how thinking and memory change over time in adults with HIV and compares them with adults without HIV. Researchers will do regular visits and brain/cognitive testing to understand what affects thinking and memory and to learn what might help.
This study looks for chemical 'signatures' in blood that might be linked to brain problems in children with and without HIV. The goal is to help doctors find early signs of thinking or memory issues by using special blood tests, so children can get help sooner.
This study looks at how depression and its treatment may affect the brain and immune-related body systems in people with HIV. You may be eligible if you have depression and a well-controlled HIV viral load, and you can safely complete brain MRI scans.
This study looks at how certain immune cells (NK cells) behave in people who have been on HIV treatment for a long time. It aims to understand why some people's immune systems respond differently, which could help improve future treatments.
This study looks at brain activity to understand how depression and cannabis use may be linked in young adults living with HIV. It mainly involves questionnaires, mental health screening, and brain scans, which may help researchers better understand risk factors and brain “underpinnings.”
This study uses brain scans to understand how stimulant use affects the brain in people with HIV who are on treatment. It may help find ways to improve brain health.
