Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older living with HIV who are undergoing their first upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and can give written informed consent are eligible.
✕Probably not a fit
People without HIV, those under 18, individuals who have already had a prior upper GI endoscopy, or those unable or unwilling to give informed consent are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This prospective, observational registry at CHU Saint-Pierre will record demographic data and endoscopic diagnoses from adults with HIV undergoing their first upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Participants provide written informed consent and receive standard-of-care gastroscopy, with findings entered prospectively into the registry. The project aims to describe the spectrum and frequency of upper GI lesions and examine associations with clinical and demographic factors over a long-term period. No experimental treatments are administered and clinical care follows local practice.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the registry could improve recognition of common and uncommon upper GI conditions in people with HIV and help tailor diagnostic and management approaches.
How similar studies have gone: Previous endoscopy case series in people with HIV have described characteristic lesions and opportunistic infections, so the approach is established though long-term single-center registries are relatively limited.
