Massive HIV study aims to Fine-Tune treatment for patients with double infections
NCT ID NCT07526363
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 8,000 HIV patients to see how well antiretroviral therapy works for those who also have opportunistic infections (like tuberculosis or fungal infections) compared to those without. Researchers will measure viral suppression and immune cell recovery to find the best treatment strategies. The goal is to improve care and build models to predict outcomes for this high-risk group.

Who is studied
The study population consists of HIV-infected adults (age ≥18 years) diagnosed with at least one opportunistic infection, including but not limited to Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, tuberculosis, and cytomegalovirus infection. Participants are further categorized by the type of opportunistic infection and by the specific antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen received (e.g., NNRTI-based, PI-based, or INSTI-based regimens). All participants are enrolled from \[clinic name / multi-center study\] and have available viral load and CD4+ T cell count measurements at baseline and at scheduled follow-up time points.
