Cellular and humoral immune response in HIV-1-infected children receiving SARS-CoV2-specific mRNA vaccines in Botswana
Principal Investigator Initiated

Principal Investigator: Catherine Koofhethile, PhD and Mathias Lichterfeld, PhD

Study Objectives:

Characterization of Anthracycline induced Cardiotoxicity Using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Botswana: A Prospective Observational study (Pelo Study)
Principal Investigator Initiated

Principal Investigator - Dr. Scott Dryden-Peterson MD, MSc

Study Objectives

Aim 1: The study will compare the LVEF between patients with and without HIV  who are being treated with anthracyclines. We hypothesize that the LVEF will be  lower after anthracycline among individuals living with HIV.

Early Infant Treatment Study: A Clinical Trial of HIV Positive Infants in Botswana
Principal Investigator Initiated

Principal Investigator - Professor Roger L. Shapiro, MD, MPH

Study Objectives

The overall objective of the EIT study is to determine whether very early antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation in HIV-infected infants limits the seeding of viral reservoirs and maintains immune responses, potentially allowing future periods off ART.
