1Study procedures for this visit may be performed on different days but preferably not more than 3 days apart. The subjects are encouraged to be hospitalized for the first 3-7 days. The visits for visit day 2 and 3 need to occur on the exact dates. Visits for day 5 to 10 may occur within ± 2 days of scheduled date. The window periods for other visits are as follows: ± 1 week for study weeks 2 and 4; ± 2 weeks for study weeks 8 to 24; ±4 weeks for all visits after week 24.
2The duration of follow up may vary among subjects depending on time of recruitment. Minimum time in study is 96 weeks and maximum time is 192 weeks. For subjects that the study duration is less than 192 weeks, procedures at week 192 will be done at the last study visit.
3Questionnaire on behavioral risk assessment. Demographic questionnaire will be used only for week 0 visit.
4Leukopheresis will be performed to collect PBMC and plasma in non-pregnant subjects. Subjects who wish not to have leukopheresis performed will undergo phlebotomy for PBMC/plasma collection. The amount of blood draw will be the same as blood loss from leukopheresis (50ml). Lymphocyte polyfunctional studies and immunophenotyping: the following lineage markers will be used for the immunophenotyping studies:CD16/56, CD19, CD3 (or Tetramer), CD4 and CD8. Differentiation markers will include CD27, CD28, CD45RA, CD45RO, CD57, CD95 and CCR7 and HLA-DR, CCR9 and alpha-4/beta-7 integrin. Additional markers for CD8+ T-cell effector activity will include IFNg, TNFa, IL-2, MIP1b, CD107 surface expression. Additional immunologic markers may be assessed depending on the scientific literature.
5Urine pregnancy test will be done at week 0, and every 12 weeks on females of child bearing age.
6Includes semen (male), cervicovaginal swab and washing (female), anal swab and washing (men who have sex with men)
7Blood glucose, protein and HIV RNA will be performed at time of lumbar puncture
8Total blood volume is shown. The first number is the blood volume for clinical follow up and the second number is the blood volume for stored samples. The total amount maximum volume of blood is 1267 ml over 4 years.
