NCT ID NCT07193875
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding the drug efavirenz to standard HIV therapy is safe and can reduce the hidden HIV reservoir in the body. Seven adults with HIV on stable treatment took extra efavirenz for a period. Researchers measured virus levels in blood and tissues before and after to see if the reservoir shrank. The goal is to find ways to better control HIV, not to cure it.
