Heart health study in people with and without HIV
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how stimulant use and inflammation affect the heart in people with and without HIV. It aims to learn more about heart disease risks and may help guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are part of the MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study in Atlanta, Baltimore, Bronx, or San Francisco.
- You can undergo an MRI scan without issues (no metal implants, claustrophobia, or severe anxiety).

This Phase 2 study uses a special whole-body scan (PET-MR) to measure immune activity in people living with HIV. It may help researchers understand how well the immune system responds and how to better track HIV-related inflammation.
This study looks at how menopause and HIV together might affect a woman's risk for heart disease. If you are a woman with HIV and are either premenopausal, perimenopausal, or postmenopausal, the researchers want to see if the combination of HIV and menopause creates a higher risk.
This study uses MRI scans and computer simulations to learn more about how the heart and blood flow work in people with certain heart or lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand heart problems and improve future care.
This study looks at how hidden fat deep inside the body (ectopic fat) might increase heart attack risk in people living with HIV. By joining, you will help researchers understand this link and find better ways to protect your heart.
This study looks back at people with HIV to understand how often and why heart problems happen. It may help doctors better track heart risk and complications over time.
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.
