News

  • We are involved in clinical trials for people living with HIV. These are the trials we are currently enrolling patients in:
  • Opposites Attract: a study of HIV viral load, anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and HIV transmission in serodiscordant male homosexual couples (ie. one partner is HIV positive and the other partner is HIV negative). We will recruit serodiscordant male homosexual couples and follow them for up to 4 years. The study will provide information on the role of ART as a public health measure to prevent sexual transmission of HIV among homosexual men.
  • START (Strategic Timing of AntiRetroviral Treatment)
    This international, randomised study aims to determine the most appropriate time to start treatment: when T-cell counts are above 500 or, as is the current recommendation, when they drop to 350.
  • AHOD (Australian HIV Observational Database)
    An Australian observational cohort study reviewing what medications people living with HIV are on, their demographics, how advanced their HIV infection is, and any complications of treatment and any other illnesses.
  • MARCH Study
    This international, randomised study aims to determine if Maraviroc (a new HIV class of medication - CCR5-receptor blocker) is an effective and safe medication to use in people living with HIV, already stable on their first regimen of combination antiretroviral therapy, which includes a protease inhibitor ie. Kaletra, Telzir, Reyataz, or Prezista.
