Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Study Phase 1

1. Age ≥18 years, and
2. HIV uninfected, or
3. HIV infection, and
4. has an HIV viral load measurement within 12 months of study entry of \>40 copies/mL, and
5. HIV-1 envelope RNA or DNA consensus sequence from peripheral blood suggestive of VRC01 binding activity (HIV infected participants only)

Study Phase 2

1. Age ≥18 years, and
2. HIV infection, and
3. Initiated a combination ART regimen and has HIV viral load measurements below the detection limit of a clinically approved PCR-based assay (e.g. \<40 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL of blood), or
4. HIV infection, and
5. has an HIV viral load measurement within 12 months of study entry of \>40 copies/mL, and
6. HIV-1 envelope RNA or DNA consensus sequence from peripheral blood suggestive of VRC01 binding activity, or
7. HIV uninfected

Exclusion Criteria:

Study Phase 1

1. For patients planning to be imaged on PET-MR scanner, exclusion criteria will include any contra-indication to MRI, including permanent pacemaker, implantable metallic device/ prosthetic, aneurysm clip, non-removable piercing, or severe claustrophobia
2. Any medical condition that would compromise the imaging acquisition, in the opinion of the investigator
3. Patients who have had a study involving radiation within six months of enrolling in this study
4. Patients who are pregnant (female patients of childbearing age will be tested prior to injection of imaging agent - positive test will exclude from participating in the study)
5. Screening absolute neutrophil count \<1,000 cells/mm3, platelet count \<70,000 cells/mm3, hemoglobin \< 8 mg/dL, estimated creatinine clearance \<40 mL/minute, aspartate aminotransferase \>100 units/L, alanine aminotransferase \>100 units/L.
6. Absolute CD4+ T cell count \<100 cells/μL (HIV infected individuals only)
7. Serious illness requiring hospitalization or parental antibiotics within the preceding 3 months.
8. Current HIV-related opportunistic infection such as pneumocystis pneumonia, disseminated microbacterial infection, invasive cryptococcal disease, candidal esophagitis (limited oral thrush acceptable) and cerebral toxoplasmosis

Study Phase 2

1. For patients planning to be imaged on PET-MR scanner, exclusion criteria will include any contra-indication to MRI, including permanent pacemaker, implantable metallic device/ prosthetic, aneurysm clip, non-removable piercing, or severe claustrophobia

3. Patients who have had a study involving radiation within 12 months of enrolling in this study
4. Patients who are pregnant (female patients of childbearing age will be tested prior to injection of imaging agent - positive test will exclude from participating in the study)

About the study

This is a single center exploratory imaging study involving one intravenous microdose of 89Zr-DFO-VRC01 followed by whole-body PET-MR imaging in HIV infected individuals and healthy volunteers. Imaging data will be obtained from up to four static PE-MR images in order to determine dosimetry and temporal tissue uptake/tissue distribution of 89Zr-DFO-VRC01. This is not a treatment study of the biological activity of 89Zr-DFO-VRC01 to impact HIV persistence.
