Summary

The objective of this study is to understand the effects of HIV cure strategies on the virus and immune cells that reside within the gastrointestinal tract. Subjects receiving therapies with the potential for HIV cure will undergo a colonoscopy to obtain gastrointestinal tissue for research assays. This study will test whether receiving these therapies will induce changes in the immune cells in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce the tissue-associated HIV viral levels.

Conditions

  • HIV Infection

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is a procedure where an instrument called colonoscope is inserted through the rectum to look at the entire internal surface of the intestine. Participants will be placed on a stretcher on the left side. A colonoscope will be advanced into the colon and into the terminal ileum. The entire procedure should take approximately 40 minutes
