Why your participation is important

The participation and generosity of the HIV community members are what makes HIV research possible and advances scientific knowledge. Your participation in the study will help us determine the role of neuroactive steroids in mood in people with HIV through MRI brain scan images. The blood samples collected during the study visits will help us understand how neuroactive steroids interact with the immune system of people with HIV. 

Eligibility
You may be able to participate, if you...
  • are an adult (18-85 years old) with HIV

  • are on antiretroviral therapy (ART)

  • experience symptoms of depression

You may not be able to participate, if you...​​
  • do not have HIV

  • have schizophrenia or bipolar disorder

  • have metal implants not safe for MRI scans
