What the study is about

We are studying virologic and/or immunologic parameters of HIV infection and other infectious or non-infectious immune deficiency diseases in order to better understand the pathogenesis of HIV. Because of the lack of an adequate animal model it is generally necessary to utilize human peripheral blood cells for studying aspects of either in vivo or in vitro HIV infection. We wish to be able to continue to elucidate many pathogenic aspects of HIV infection in relation to other infectious or non-infectious immune regulation and dysregulation using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells as a model.

  • Be willing and able to provide written informed consent on screening, comply with study requirements and procedures, and comply with clinic policies
  • Willingness to allow blood samples to be used for future studies of HIV infection/pathogenesis, and undergo hepatitis screening

EXCLUSION CRITERIA

  • Pregnant and/or breastfeeding females.
  • Active substance abuse or history of prior substance abuse that may interfere with protocol compliance or compromise volunteer safety.
