Scientists probe why HIV meds sometimes backfire

NCT ID NCT02147405

Summary

This study aims to understand why some people with HIV and low immune cell counts develop new or worsening symptoms soon after starting their HIV medications, a condition called IRIS. Researchers will use PET scans, blood tests, and lymph node biopsies to study 300 adults, including those about to start treatment and those already experiencing symptoms. The goal is to learn more about the causes of IRIS to help guide better prevention and treatment in the future.
