Microbiome therapy to reduce alcohol harm in people with HIV
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special microbiome treatment can help reduce alcohol-related harm in people with HIV. You may be eligible if you have HIV and have been drinking alcohol recently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years old or older
- You have HIV
- You drank at least 42 grams of alcohol (about 3 standard drinks) in the past week and had a positive urine test for a substance that shows recent drinking
- You have not taken probiotics in the last 3 months
- You have not taken antibiotics or strong immune-suppressing medicines recently
- You are not allergic to the study products, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This Phase 2 study looks at how “microbiome metabolites” (chemicals from gut bacteria) and alcohol may affect heart and blood vessel risk in people living with HIV. If you qualify, you may be asked to follow a study plan to see how these factors change health markers related to cardiovascular disease.
This study tests whether cutting back on alcohol and taking probiotics can improve memory and thinking in older adults who are heavy drinkers. If you are interested in drinking less, 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 looks at how alcohol use affects people with HIV who take multiple medications, including certain brain or nerve drugs. It aims to find safer ways to manage their health.
This study tests whether helping men with HIV who also drink heavily can lower their alcohol use and improve how well HIV treatment works to prevent passing the virus to others. It's for men living in fishing communities in Uganda.
This study tests a counseling approach called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people living with HIV who drink at unhealthy levels reduce their drinking. If you're on HIV treatment and drink more than recommended, this program may help you build healthier habits.
