Apheresis for Laboratory Studies

This study is collecting blood plasma and white blood cells from volunteers using a procedure called apheresis. Apheresis is a way to collect larger amounts of specific blood parts than a regular blood draw. These collected blood components will be used in laboratory research studies, especially for infectious diseases. You can join if you are 18 years or older, have good vein access, and your blood pressure and pulse are within a healthy range. If you have HIV or certain inflammatory diseases, your hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells) needs to be at a certain level. This is an observational study, meaning researchers are collecting samples, not testing a new treatment. The goal is to gather samples for ongoing research.

Study design
This is an observational study planning to enroll up to 3000 participants, including healthy volunteers and individuals with HIV.
What's involved
You would undergo one of two apheresis procedures, where blood is drawn from your arm, processed by a machine, and then returned to you.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Specimen collection is measured at ongoing timeframes.
