NCT ID NCT01125228

First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looked at three treatments for people with early HIV infection: zidovudine (AZT) alone, interferon alone, or both together. The goal was to see which worked best to lower the amount of virus in the blood, protect the immune system, and delay the first serious infection. About 180 adults with healthy immune systems (CD4 count of 500 or higher) took part. The study is now in long-term follow-up to track health outcomes over time.
