NCT ID NCT06823596
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding the HIV drug efavirenz to a person's regular antiretroviral therapy (ART) can kill cells that still harbor HIV, even when the virus is well-controlled. About 26 adults with HIV who have very low but detectable virus levels despite good medication adherence will take efavirenz for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce or eliminate that remaining virus, which may help improve long-term health and bring us closer to an HIV cure.
