Summary

Potent HIV suppression with Darunavir-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) will lead to repopulation of gastrointestinal-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ T-cell populations, normalization of systemic immune activation, and improved HIV-associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Willing to sign consent form
  • Naïve to ART (remote ART use >5 years will be considered on a case by case basis)
  • No known GI or cardiovascular disease
  • Between the ages of 18 and 60
  • No active opportunistic infections or therapy for acute OI within 30 days of entry. Subjects can be on secondary prophylaxis with a history of AIDS defining illness.
  • All women of childbearing potential (WCBP) must have a negative urine pregnancy test before any of the invasive or radiation exposure study procedures.
  • Normal population should be free of chronic metabolic conditions such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, or coronary artery disease
  • There are no CD4+ T-cell count or HIV plasma viral load restrictions.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Abnormal coagulation parameters (PT>1.2 upper limit of normal (ULN))
  • Thrombocytopenia (platelet count grade 1 [appendix 1])
  • Aspirin, ibuprofen, warfarin or other agents that interfere with the coagulation cascade are prohibited within 1 week of endoscopy.
  • Renal insufficiency (serum Creatinine >1.2 ULN)
  • History of chronic proteinuria that could impact viread use.
  • Allergy to contrast used for CT angiography
  • Requirement to take medications that are contraindicated with study ART regimen.
