HIV Outpatient Monitoring Evaluation Through Self-collection of Dried Blood Spots (HOME-1)
University of Colorado, Denver
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.
Description
Up to 150 people receiving care at the UCH-IDGP will be enrolled in the study at a routine clinic visit where a standard of care (SOC) blood collection and/or SOC dose of LA antivirals (e.g., LA IM CAB±RPV) is planned. Once consented, demographic and clinical data will be obtained. Clinical data that will be collected from participant and medical records may include: age, sex at birth and gender identity, race, ethnicity, medication history, duration of current antiviral therapy, hematocrit, CD4+ T-cell count, HIV VL, and self-reported adherence. The investigators will collect an extra \~5 mL…
