Groups 2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | HIV+ | HIV-infected smokers: diagnosed with HIV infection and exhibiting viral load of less than or equal to 1000 copies/mL and CD4+ counts of greater than or equal to 200 cells/mm3 within 6 months prior to enrollment~Nicotine patch: All participants will receive nicotine patches to aid in quitting smoking. TN is available over the counter and is very well tolerated. Participants will use the patch in a tapering fashion as recommended by the manufacturer. Participants who smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day will adhere to the following dosing guidelines: 21 mg for 4 weeks; 14 mg for 2 weeks and 7 mg for 2 weeks. Individuals who smoke between 5 and 9 cigarettes per day will follow a modified dosing regimen: 14 mg for 6 weeks and 7 mg for 2 weeks.~Behavioral counseling: Participants will attend 6 counseling sessions and receive standard smoking cessation counseling (SC). | 0 | 80 | EG000 | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Group 2 | HIV- | HIV-uninfected smokers: negative HIV status will be confirmed by an on-site rapid HIV blood test~Nicotine patch: All participants will receive nicotine patches to aid in quitting smoking. TN is available over the counter and is very well tolerated. Participants will use the patch in a tapering fashion as recommended by the manufacturer. Participants who smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day will adhere to the following dosing guidelines: 21 mg for 4 weeks; 14 mg for 2 weeks and 7 mg for 2 weeks. Individuals who smoke between 5 and 9 cigarettes per day will follow a modified dosing regimen: 14 mg for 6 weeks and 7 mg for 2 weeks.~Behavioral counseling: Participants will attend 6 counseling sessions and receive standard smoking cessation counseling (SC). | 2 | 127 | EG001 | ClinicalTrials.gov |
