Summary

This trial will study whether earlier ART treatment can help HIV-infected infants achieve remission.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for HIV-infected infants born to mothers with confirmed or presumed HIV. Infants must be less than 48 hours old, at least 36 weeks gestational age, weigh over 2 kg, and able to take oral medication. Mothers should not have received antiretrovirals during pregnancy but may have during labor.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests early intensive antiretroviral therapy (ART) in newborns using drugs like Nevirapine, Lopinavir/Ritonavir, Raltegravir, VRC01 and NRTIs to see if it can induce HIV remission—meaning the virus becomes undetectable by standard tests.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from ART medications include digestive issues, rash or allergic reactions, liver problems and changes in blood sugar or fat levels. In infants specifically, close monitoring is needed due to their developing organs.
