Common blood pressure pill tested in bold new strategy to lock away HIV

NCT ID NCT07415811

Summary

This study is testing if spironolactone, an existing blood pressure medication, can help control HIV by silencing the virus that hides in the body. It will enroll 12 adults, including some without HIV and some with well-controlled HIV on medication. Researchers will see if the drug safely degrades a specific human protein that HIV needs, aiming to 'lock' the hidden virus in a dormant state.
