History of Changes

Purpose

People that are infected with HIV appear to be especially susceptible to the adverse effects of cigarette smoking. The purpose of this study is to determine if quitting smoking by using a specialized smoking cessation treatment can prevent one from developing accelerated lung damage, particularly emphysema.

Primary Outcome Measures:

To develop and evaluate a specialized smoking cessation intervention for the treatment of nicotine dependence in HIV-seropositive smokers. [ Time Frame: 48 Months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To examine the effects of smoking cessation on the course of lung function decline, the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and the occurrence/progression of emphysema in a cohort of HIV-seropositive individuals. [ Time Frame: 48 Months ]
To explore the effects of smoking cessation on the biology of alveolar macrophages obtained from HIV-seropositive individuals [ Time Frame: 48 Months ]

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Healthy Control - Non-smoking Healthy Control arm with 51 subjects who are HIV negative and do not smoke	Other: Biological Control No treatment intervention only information and procedures.
Healthy Control - Smoker Healthy Control arm, includes 50 subjects who are HIV negative and are smokers.	Other: Biological Control No treatment intervention only information and procedures.
Active Comparator: HIV Smoking Cessation Arm Includes up to 365 subjects who are HIV positive and initiate smoking cessation	Drug: Varenicline tartrate 1 mMg tablet form; daily during week 1 (pre-quit week) followed by 1 mg twice daily for weeks 2-12. Other Name: Chantix Drug: Nicotine Replacement Therapy Nicotine gum and nicotine patch
Experimental: Motivational Intervention Includes up to 100 subjects who are HIV positive, do not wish to quit smoking but are willing to undergo one-on-one Motivational Intervention	Behavioral: Motivational Interview 60 minute one-on-one Interview

Detailed Description:

HIV-infected smokers are at increased risk for life-threatening diseases, such as pneumonia. To date, very little is known about the tobacco consumption characteristics of this at-risk population of smokers, but it has been well documented that they are at high risk for smoking-related co-morbidities. In addition, few effective cessation strategies have been described in HIV-infected populations. A specialized smoking cessation that combines recommendations from an existing scientifically-valid clinical guideline with Motivational Interviewing a new pharmacotherapeutic agent, may be an effective mechanism to apply to this vulnerable population of smokers. This initial, efficacy investigation has the potential to guide future treatment and research pertaining to tobacco cessation, respiratory illness and HIV.
