An observational study in HIV Infections, HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, sponsored by Medical University of Vienna. Recruiting at 1 site in Austria. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-04-13.
Sponsored by Medical University of Vienna · Observational
The main objective of this prospective observational cohort study is to investigate the epidemiology, the risk factors and ultimately the incidence of novel HIV infections among individuals at high risk for acquiring HIV via sex practices.
We will include individuals at high-risk for HIV acquisition, i.e. HIV-negative MSM and transgender individuals who (i) do not use condoms consistently with casual partners and/or with HIV-positive partners who are not on treatment and/or (ii) recently acquired an STI and/or (iii) recently used PEP and/or (iv) frequently engage in 'chemsex' within the past 12 months Important clinical information on possible vectors for transmission (including but not limited to high-risk sex practices and sexualized drug use), use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, incidence of sexually transmitted infections will be assessed and laboratory parameters will be obtained from blood, urine and mucosal secretion.
4,734 studies on the registry are indexed under HIV Infections; 244 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 500 is above the median of 200 across 781 observational studies indexed under HIV Infections.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
