Summary

This trial will study how HIV and the host interact at the earliest stages, by having volunteers with HIV stop antiretroviral therapy (ART) and then have intensive studies done 2-3 times/week. Most will resume therapy within 3 weeks.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with HIV who've been on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least a year, have undetectable virus levels, and a CD4+ count above 350. They must use two contraception methods if they can have children and agree to counseling to prevent HIV spread. It's not for those with severe kidney or liver disease, active hepatitis B or C, recent cancer, heart issues, or using certain other drugs.

What is being tested?

The study examines what happens when people with HIV stop taking their ART medications temporarily. Participants will halt their treatment under close monitoring with frequent check-ups to see how the virus behaves and how the body responds without medication.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves stopping ART medication rather than adding new treatments, side effects may include an increase in viral load and potential weakening of the immune system during the interruption period.
