NCT ID NCT05023044
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study follows 400 adults with HIV to learn how nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) develops and progresses in this group. Researchers will use a non-invasive scan to measure liver stiffness and fat content over one year. The goal is to fill major knowledge gaps, since previous studies excluded people with HIV.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal how NAFLD progresses in people with HIV, guiding future treatments and monitoring strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve health. Results may take years and might not apply to all HIV patients.
