NCT ID NCT00767312
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study looks at HIV-infected adults who have been on antiretroviral therapy for a long time and have very low virus levels. Researchers want to see if the virus stays stable or changes over time. Participants visit the clinic every six months for blood tests and a special white blood cell collection. The goal is to learn more about how the virus behaves during treatment, not to test a new drug.
