IMPAACT P1115: Very Early Intensive Treatment of HIV-Infected Infants to Achieve HIV Remission: A Phase I/II Proof of Concept Study

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess HIV remission among HIV-infected neonates who initiate ART within 48 hours of birth. For purposes of this protocol, remission is defined as having no confirmed plasma HIV RNA>=LOD for 48 weeks following ART cessation. Additional aim for the study is to assess the safety of very early ART in neonates. Also, to evaluate immune activation and host and viral determinants, including maternal factors and HIV-specific immune responses, associated with HIV remission.
