Latinas continue to be affected disproportionally by HIV in the United States (US). Often, Latinas are not aware of their HIV status. Also, their perception of low risk for HIV interferes with condom use, HIV testing and lack of awareness, access, and use of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). About 60% of total HIV cases in NC occur among women of childbearing age, thus vulnerability to HIV is particularly acute among Latinas between ages 18 and 44 years old, an age group with the highest rate of new HIV infections in NC. These disparities indicate that HIV prevention among Latinas is urgent; therefore, the investigators propose an innovative intervention - a filmed dramatized story (telenovela/soap opera) Infección de Amor (IA) (Love Infection) - culturally tailored for Latinas in the US and delivered online. Infección de Amor was filmed and developed but has not been tested with the target audience. The proposed study will pilot test IA and move the intervention to online using a website that will allow individual access around the clock from any location and device, such as a smartphone, ensuring wide dissemination of the intervention in the future. This is a a two-year planning grant (R34) to prepare for an R01 efficacy trial. The aims are to: 1) Develop the intervention delivery website, conduct a website usability test, and test the feasibility and acceptability of the IA intervention (four telenovela episodes) with 10 Latinas, 2) Conduct a randomized controlled pilot study to examine change in HIV prevention behaviors (condom use; HIV testing; and PrEP awareness, access, and use) comparing intervention and control Latinas from baseline (Time 1 \[T1\], 0 months) to post-active intervention (Time 2 \[T2\], 1 month), and to six months follow-up, a period with no contact from the study staff (Time 3 \[T3, 7 months\]), and 3) Complete establishing the study infrastructure, expanding the multidisciplinary team, building the research partnerships with the community, finalize the protocol and training materials, refine recruitment and retention strategies, data collection and data management procedures, and obtain institutional review board approval in preparation for an R01 efficacy study. This study address the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) goal #4: increase NIDA research and programs' public impact. This is a novel intervention to advance HIV prevention for Latinas. This study implement a culturally durable and feasible intervention for Latinas.
NCT06853314
(Effectiveness Aim 1) To test the comparative effectiveness of PreP for WINGS versus PrEP alone on primary outcomes of increasing PrEP initiation measured by self-report/medical records, recent adherence and longer-term adherence by self-report/medical records over the 6-month follow-up; and secondary outcomes of decreasing IPV, hazardous drinking, recidivism, and HIV risks. (Moderation Aim 2) To test if the effectiveness of WINGS+PrEP on study outcomes is moderated by key participant subgroups based on race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, education, incarceration history, IPV severity, substance use disorders (SUDs), digital access and literacy, housing stability, and medical mistrust.

NCT04532970
The main purpose of this research study is to compare traditional behavioral smoking cessation therapy with a different type of behavioral therapy-known as behavioral activation problem solving (BAPS)-for smoking cessation. Standard smoking cessation counseling (SC) focuses on self-monitoring, identifying smoking triggers and how to manage them, relaxation and social support for non-smoking, and relapse prevention. BAPS focuses on recognizing he feelings you are having that lead to smoking and how to overcome those feelings and focus on activities that discourage you from smoking and avoid activities that encourage you to smoke. Both counseling types include gathering information about your personal smoking patterns, your likes, dislikes, and other personal characteristics about your lifestyle. Half of participants who enroll in the study will receive standard smoking cessation counseling (SC) and half will receive BAPS counseling. We will compare the rates of quitting smoking across the two groups at the end of treatment (study week 10), and 12 weeks after the end of treatment (study week 26)
NCT06868641
The goal of the TAIL-PrEP study is to understand how to support the safe discontinuation of injectable long-acting cabotegravir (cab-LA) and lenacapavir (LEN) while maximizing the public health impact of biomedical HIV prevention interventions. In Aim 1, the study will pilot test and assess the acceptability and feasibility of the TAIL-PrEP intervention: for participants discontinuing cab-LA, this will consist of monthly cabotegravir drug level monitoring to provide personalized HIV prevention coaching, for participants considering discontinuing cab-LA or LEN, this will consist of a one-time personalized HIV prevention coaching session. In Aim 2, the study will refine the TAIL-PrEP intervention and implementation strategy based on findings from the pilot study.

NCT06488846
This study will support the expansion of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART) in non-clinical settings by developing, implementing, and evaluating a comprehensive, theory-informed training intervention to support the administration of LAI-ART by a trained layperson injector (e.g., friend, family, partner identified by a person living with HIV). This study will address barriers to LAI-ART uptake and persistence, enhance real-world effectiveness, and help close critical HIV care gaps.
NCT07559266
The BEYOND Study aims to evaluate HIV treatment outcomes and well-being among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) living with HIV in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Despite progress in HIV services, YMSM continue to experience disparities in engagement in care, antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, and viral suppression, influenced by individual, social, and structural factors including stigma and limited access to person-centered care. This prospective cohort study will enroll 300 YMSM living with HIV from four clinical sites, including public, private, and community-based clinics. Participants will be followed for 12 months, with data collection at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. The study will assess key outcomes including viral suppression, ART adherence, retention in care, mental health, and quality of life. In addition, in-depth interviews will be conducted with a subset of 20-30 participants to explore experiences with HIV care and barriers and facilitators to engagement. The study will also examine the implementation and perceived impact of person-centered care and one-stop-shop service models across different healthcare settings. Findings from this study will inform strategies to improve HIV treatment outcomes and support the development of integrated, patient-centered approaches to care for YMSM living with HIV in Vietnam and similar settings.

NCT04900974
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effect of body changes in pregnancy on doravirine concentrations, to determine what dose of doravirine should be used. Study participants will remain on their normal antiretroviral medications (ARVs) while participating in this study as prescribed by their regular clinic provider. Study participants will come to the research clinic for three sampling visits throughout their time as a participant. Study participants will only take one dose of doravirine during each sampling visit, which will occur during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, as well as after their baby is delivered. This study was designed intentionally to not give a dose of doravirine in the first trimester when there is the greatest chance for all drugs to potentially cause injury to the baby. Study participants that choose to participate in this study may be enrolled for up to 10 months depending on the length of their pregnancy and how the visits are scheduled.
NCT06627764
This study aims to prevent syndemic health conditions by decreasing acculturative stress and promoting resilience via SER Familia (Salud, Estrés y Resilencia en Familias/ Health, Stress, and Resilience in Families), a family-based intervention. SER Familia is a six-session intervention co-developed and delivered by community health workers (CHWs) that uses strategies to reduce acculturative stress, promote resilience, improve parent-child and family level health, while simultaneously helping families maintain strong social networks and better navigate community resources to address social determinants of health (SDOH). More specifically, investigators aim to: 1) Examine the efficacy of SER Familia to prevent or reduce the syndemic comprised of substance abuse, IPV, HIV risk, depression, and anxiety among Parents and Youth; and 2) Identify how individual, family, and community mechanisms of change related to acculturative stress and resilience mediates the effect of SER Familia.

NCT00424814
In the pre-partum phase the use of antiretroviral therapy for the mother during the last trimester of pregnancy is mandatory. The use of HAART during pregnancy, usually two nucleosides analogues and a protease inhibitor exposes the mother and the child to cumulate toxicities related to both families. The aim of this study is to assess the use of a boosted protease inhibitor without nucleoside analogue during the pre-partum phase for women with no indication of antiretroviral therapy for their own.
