NCT ID NCT07216794
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tests whether alendronate, a drug used for bone loss, can reduce the hidden HIV reservoir in people already on HIV medication. About 30 participants will receive either alendronate or a placebo, and researchers will measure changes in HIV DNA in the blood. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the virus long-term, not cure it.
