Scientists investigate cell recycling problems in HIV patients

NCT ID NCT04160455

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how HIV affects a natural cell cleanup process called autophagy in people with HIV. Researchers will compare blood cells from 180 participants, including those on HIV medication, rare controllers, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand why cell cleanup may be broken in HIV patients, even when the virus is controlled, which could explain long-term inflammation and aging.
