HIV Outpatient Monitoring Evaluation Through Self-collection of Dried Blood Spots

HIV Outpatient Monitoring Evaluation Through Self-collection of Dried Blood Spots (HOME-1)


Sponsor

University of Colorado, Denver

Enrollment

150 participants

Start Date

May 27, 2021

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to establish an operational framework for home self-collections of blood samples to be used for antiviral drug concentration measurements. Participants will continue on their prescribed antiviral(s) for HIV treatment or prevention and followed for up to approximately 1 year. The investigators will compare drug concentrations of antivirals and relevant metabolites/anabolites in clinic-collected and self-collected blood samples.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether HIV-positive patients can accurately monitor their own medication levels by collecting a small drop of dried blood at home — using a fingerstick — instead of having blood drawn at a clinic. This approach could make HIV monitoring easier and more flexible. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You are taking antiviral medication for HIV treatment or prevention (including long-acting injectable treatments) - You are a current patient at the UCH Infectious Disease clinic - You are able to perform self-collection using a fingerstick or similar device **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are unable to give informed consent - You cannot perform or record self-collection via video - You have uncontrolled medical or mental health issues that would interfere with the study Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
