NCT ID NCT00820118
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether people with HIV who have high immune cell counts (CD4 above 500) can safely take antiretroviral drugs in 6-month cycles—6 months on treatment, then 6 months off—instead of taking them every day. The goal was to see if this approach could keep their immune system stable and offer a more flexible treatment option. The trial involved 45 adults who had never taken HIV medication before.
