Official Title: Analysis of Cellular Kinases and Aging in PBMCs and Colorectal Tissue
Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical study is to learn about the effect of aging on certain enzymes, or proteins, in the blood and colon.The study involves collection of blood and colon tissue biopsies using a flexible sigmoidoscope or colonoscope.This study is also investigating how medications tenofovir and emtricitabine interact with certain enzymes.The investigators will compare the difference in enzyme activity between people taking tenofovir and emtricitabine, to those who are not taking tenofovir and emtricitabine.
