Stanford Universities: The Stanford HIV Aging Cohort
Completed
Conditions studied: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
In brief
A research study to evaluate the effect of aging and HIV on neurocognitive dysfunction (declining ability to process information), physical frailty and heart disease. HIV-infected participants whose virus is controlled on antiretroviral medications will be studied to determine the rates and risk factors of developing these conditions.

You may qualify if…
- Subjects must have an HIV RNA level below the limit of quantification (e.g., <75 copies, <50 copies, or <48 copies/mL, depending on the assay used) for at least 6 months excluding "blips" (e.g., a single measurement between 48-200 copies/mL preceded and followed by measurements below the limit of quantification) while on antiretroviral therapy.
You may not qualify if…
- Completed treatment for any acute systemic infection (other than HIV-1) less than four weeks before study entry.
- Any active brain infection (except for HIV-1), brain neoplasm, or space-occupying brain lesion.
- Receipt of immunomodulating medication (e.g., corticosteroids, immunoglobulin, etc.) within four weeks of study entry.
- Any active psychiatric illness including schizophrenia, severe depression, or severe bipolar affective disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, could confound the analysis of the neuropsychological test results.
