Antiretroviral Therapy for Acute and Chronic HIV Infection

Overview

The purpose for this protocol is to provide safe and effective standard ART to SEARCH 010 and SEARCH 013 participants. Participants are enrolled in an acute HIV infection study (SEARCH 010 protocol: 'Establish and characterize an acute HIV infection cohort in a Thai high-risk population') or in a study of chronic HIV infection (SEARCH 013 protocol 'Characteristics of immunity in gut mucosa, spinal fluid, lymph node and blood of HIV negative and HIV positive Thais').

To compare systemic and tissue compartments (genital secretion, CNS, gut and lymph node) outcomes among individuals who initiate HIV treatment during acute vs. chronic HIV infection. The outcomes will be compared by stages of infection and antiretroviral regimens. Participants are enrolled in an acute HIV infection study (SEARCH 010 protocol: 'Establish and characterize an acute HIV infection cohort in a Thai high-risk population') or in a study of chronic HIV infection (SEARCH 013 protocol 'Characteristics of immunity in gut mucosa, spinal fluid, lymph node and blood of HIV negative and HIV positive Thais') with the latter serving as controls for the acutely infected individuals.
