Study for Adults Living with the HIV Virus
Protocol: STUDY00009563
Full Title
Virologic and immunologic impacts of active viral persistence in lung AMs of HIV-1-infected, cART-suppressed individuals.
Description
HIV is a viral infection that cannot be cured. However, anti-retroviral treatment can help to stop the virus from replicating in the body.

A research team from the University at Buffalo is looking to learn more about why the HIV virus stays in a type of lung cell despite treatment. The results from the study might help scientists to develop better treatments to help get rid of the virus and improve the lives of people living with HIV.

Participants will attend two study visits over a 3-to-4-week period. Visit 1 will involve surveys, a breathing test, and a blood draw. Visit 2 will have a bronchoscopy exam to collect lung cells.

Participants will be paid up to $500.
