Collecting and providing clinical data and biological specimens from individuals with and without HIV.
Official title: THE NNTC COLLECTS, STORE, AND PROVIDE CLINICAL DATA AND WELL CHARACTERIZED BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS, INCLUDING POST-MORTEM TISSUE FROM STUDY VOLUNTEERS AND/OR ORGAN DONORS WITH HIV AS WELL AS HIV-NEGATIVE
Funded at University of California, San Diego · NIH-11177567 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking for volunteers, both HIV-positive and HIV-negative, to help us collect important health information and tissue samples to better understand how HIV might relate to conditions like Alzheimer's disease, with the hope of improving treatments in the future.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for participation include individuals diagnosed with HIV, those with Alzheimer's disease, and healthy volunteers without HIV.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who are not diagnosed with HIV or Alzheimer's disease may not receive direct benefits from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on gathering and storing clinical data and biological specimens, including post-mortem tissue, from volunteers and organ donors who are either HIV-positive or HIV-negative. The aim is to create a comprehensive resource that can be used to better understand the relationship between HIV and conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Patients participating in this research may contribute to advancing knowledge in these areas, potentially leading to improved treatments and outcomes. The methodology involves careful collection and characterization of biological samples and clinical data.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could enhance our understanding of Alzheimer's disease and its connection to HIV, potentially leading to better treatment options for affected patients.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown success in utilizing biological specimens to study the effects of HIV on neurological conditions, indicating a promising approach.
