Acute HIV Infection

To describe clinical, immunological, and virological characteristics of persons with acute HIV infection 1. To describe demographics and behavioral risk factors for those identified with acute HIV infection 2. To describe neurocognitive function and neuroimaging findings in acute HIV infection as well as describe immune response, HIV-1 genotypes and sequences in the cerebrospinal fluid. 3. To describe the number and characteristics of sexual contacts 4. To describe the willingness of acute HIV-infected subjects to allow the tracking of their sexual contacts for voluntary HIV counseling and testing (VCT) 5. To describe immune response, HIV-1 genotypes and sequences in the genital compartment 6. To describe T cell depletion in the gut mucosa in acute HIV infection and describe the changes in gut T cell during follow up 7. To archive samples for future investigations including determination of viral evolution, and cell-mediated and humoral immune responses in peripheral blood and mucosal compartments

A5388 is a phase II, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will enroll 48 antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve adults with acute HIV infection (AHI) in order to determine whether: * Administration of combination HIV-specific broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) therapy in addition to ART during acute HIV infection (AHI) will be safe. * Participants who receive combination bNAb therapy in addition to ART during AHI will be more likely to demonstrate a delay in time to HIV-1 RNA ≥1,000 copies/mL for 4 consecutive weeks compared to participants who receive placebo plus ART. * Participants who receive combination bNAb therapy in addition to ART during AHI will demonstrate lower viral reservoirs and enhanced HIV-specific immunity compared to participants who receive placebo plus ART.

This is a phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate the safety of VRC07-523LS and PGDM1400LS in combination with ChAdOx1.tHIVconsv1, ChAdOx1.HIVconsv62 prime, MVA.tHIVconsv4 and A244d11gp120/ALFQ vaccination, and the impact on viral load setpoint during analytic treatment interruption (ATI) in people living with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1, PLWH) who have initiated or will initiate antiretroviral therapy (ART) during acute HIV-1 infection (AHI).

The purpose for this protocol is to provide safe and effective standard ART to SEARCH 010 and SEARCH 013 participants. Participants are enrolled in an acute HIV infection study (SEARCH 010 protocol: 'Establish and characterize an acute HIV infection cohort in a Thai high-risk population') or in a study of chronic HIV infection (SEARCH 013 protocol 'Characteristics of immunity in gut mucosa, spinal fluid, lymph node and blood of HIV negative and HIV positive Thais').

Investigation of the size, variability and localization of the (pro) viral reservoir and the properties of HIV-specific immune response related to "post-treatment viral remission' achievement and / or duration. In addition we will study the factors that determine latency in the different host cells, their sensitivity to induction of replication competent virus by various agents and the potential application of these agents in "post-treatment viral remission". This all will be studied in patients included during acute phase of the infection who start antiretroviral therapy immediately upon diagnosis.
