Participant Flow

HIV-infected adults (18 - 65 years old) were recruited from the AIDS Clinical Trials Unit and the Infectious Diseases Clinic at Washington University School of Medicine. Thirty-one candidates were screened and 20 were enrolled; all participants were HIV positive but were otherwise healthy with stable immunologic and virologic status on HAART.

Twenty participants were randomized to n=10 placebo or n=10 sitagliptin (Januvia(R)). Eleven volunteers were screened and found ineligible (see eligibility criteria), or did not choose to participate in the study.
