Who can participate

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Men and women aged \>55
* For participants without HIV: an HIV negative test within 12 months prior to enrolment. If no HIV-negative test result is available within 12 months prior to enrolment, then participants will be tested for HIV as part of standard of care, if indicated by the guidelines for HIV testing published by the Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine14. This study will not conduct HIV testing; therefore, any participants without HIV being considered for participation in the study will need to have had a standard of care HIV negative test within the past 12 months. Some subjects at on-going risk for HIV are recommended to have periodic HIV testing and may be due for such testing as part of standard of care, at the time of enrolment into the study.
* Willing and able to provide written informed consent and willingness to participate in and comply with a longitudinal cohort study including 1) consent to providing blood samples for full blood count, inflammatory marker testing and genomics analysis 2) consent to linking their data to national and state-wide data registries (including consent to providing personally identifying information); and 3) consent to participate in future follow-up studies
Exclusion Criteria:
\- Unwilling or unable to provide consent to participate
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
