Am J Surg 2024:S0002-9610(24)00166-1. [PMID: 38599893 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2024.03.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to review the varied 1-4 gastrointestinal (GI) system surgical outcomes among people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLWH) in the HAART-era. METHODS MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for primary publications on GI surgery outcomes exclusively in HAART-treated HIV patients. NSQIP-reported complications (NRCs), all-cause complications (ACC) and HIV disease parameters were extracted. RESULTS 12 studies met study inclusion criteria, examining bowel (4), bariatric (5), cholecystectomy (1), appendectomy (1), and other general abdominal operations (1). The NRC rate was 0%, ≥44.4% and 13.3% in bariatric, bowel and appendix surgeries, respectively. Over half of NRCs were infectious. HAART-treated patients had lower ACC, LOS, and sepsis versus untreated-HIV, and higher ACC, LOS and reoperation rates versus HIV-negative patients. CONCLUSION HAART use is associated with markedly improved NRC outcomes post GI surgery among PLWH; however, these remained inferior to those documented among HIV uninfected individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selection of an antiretroviral regimen for people living with HIV (PLWH) involves various clinical considerations, such as comorbidities, archived drug resistance mutations, concomitant medications, and potential drug interactions and side effects. Alterations in the surface area and pH of the gastrointestinal tract following bariatric surgery may alter absorption, antiretroviral pharmacokinetics and viral suppression. Data on the efficacy of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy in PLWH who have undergone bariatric surgery are limited or lacking for new antiretrovirals, such as dolutegravir and bictegravir. METHODS This case series reports virologic outcomes and side effects in eight cases of PLWH receiving ARV therapy who underwent bariatric surgery. A systematic literature review was performed to review the available literature on the efficacy and safety of antiretroviral regimens in PLWH who have undergone bariatric surgery. RESULTS Virologic suppression was not impacted for obese PLWH who underwent bariatric surgery following failure of life-style modifications and pharmacological therapy. CONCLUSIONS There were no deleterious effects on HIV progression for PLWH that underwent bariatric surgery. More prospective research is required to validate the effects of bariatric surgery on immunologic and virologic function outcomes. Close involvement of HIV and surgical specialists is recommended to manage ARV therapy in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The implications of bariatric surgery (BS) on virologic and metabolic outcomes in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) are unknown. METHODS Here, we report a retrospective analysis up to 18 months post-BS in PWH from the AIDS Therapy evaluation in The Netherlands (ATHENA) cohort with data from all dutch HIV treating Centers. Primary end points were a confirmed virologic failure (2 consecutive HIV-RNA measurements >200 copies/mL) and the percentage of patients who achieved >20% total body weight loss up to 18 months post-BS. Switches from baseline ART and trough plasma concentrations of antiretrovirals were also reported post-BS. Metabolic parameters and medication usage were compared pre- and post-BS. RESULTS Fifty-one patients were included. One case of confirmed virologic failure and 3 cases with viral blips were detected in this cohort up to 18 months post-BS. Eighty-five percent of patients achieved >20% total body weight loss at 18 months post-BS, with a mean difference from baseline (95% confidence interval) of -33.5% (-37.7% to -29.3%). Trough plasma concentrations of measured antiretroviral agents were all above minimum effective concentrations, except for 1 sample of darunavir. Lipid profiles, but not serum creatinine and blood pressure, improved significantly (P < .01) post-BS. Total medications and obesity-related comedications declined from 203 to 103 and from 62 to 25, respectively, at 18 months post-BS. CONCLUSIONS BS was an effective intervention for weight loss and lipid control in PWH using ART in this cohort with no clear link to poor virologic outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare clinical characteristics and adipose/liver tissue histology analysis in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected subjects undergoing bariatric surgery. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study of HIV-infected subjects undergoing single-port sleeve gastrectomy with prospective enrolment and frequency age (±5 years), sex, and body mass index (BMI, ± 5 kg/m2) matched on HIV-uninfected subjects. METHODS This study was conducted at a single clinical site at Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital-Paris-France comprising 19 HIV-uninfected and 21 HIV-infected subjects with plasma VL < 20 copies/mL, all with a BMI > 40 kg/m2 or >35 kg/m2 with comorbidities. Histology of subcutaneous and visceral abdominal adipose tissue (SCAT/VAT) and liver biopsies was collected during single-port sleeve gastrectomy. Outcomes included anthropometric characteristics, comorbidities, cardiovascular parameters, adipose tissue, and liver histology. RESULTS The age of HIV-infected participants was (median, interquartile range IQR) 48 y (42-51), with 76.2% females, a BMI of 41.4 kg/m2 (37.3-44.4), an antiretroviral duration of 16 y (8-21), current integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based regimen in 15 participants and non-INSTI regimen in 6 participants, and a CD4 count of 864/mm3 (560-1066). The age of controls was 43 y (37-51), with 78.9% females and a BMI of 39.2 kg/m2 (36.3-42.6). Anthropometric characteristics, comorbidities, and cardiovascular parameters did not differ according to HIV status and INSTI treatment. The number of macrophage crown-like structures in SCAT was lower in INSTI-treated participants than in HIV-uninfected participants (P = 0.02) and non-INSTI-treated HIV-infected subjects (P = 0.07). Hepatic steatosis and liver disease severity global score were lower in INSTI-treated participants than in non-INSTI-treated HIV-infected participants (P = 0.05 and P = 0.04, respectively). CONCLUSIONS HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected subjects undergoing bariatric surgery presented a similar profile regarding anthropometric measures, cardiovascular parameters, and comorbidities. However, INSTI-treated participants presented milder SCAT and liver alterations than non-INSTI-treated participants.

Implications of Bariatric Surgery on the Pharmacokinetics of Antiretrovirals in People Living with HIV. Clin Pharmacokinet 2022; 61:619-635.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is increasingly applied among people living with HIV to reduce obesity and the associated morbidity and mortality. In people living with HIV, sufficient antiretroviral exposure and activity should always be maintained to prevent development of resistance and disease progression. However, bariatric surgery procedures bring various gastrointestinal modifications including changes in gastric volume, and acidity, gastrointestinal emptying time, enterohepatic circulation and delayed entry of bile acids. These alterations may affect many aspects of antiretroviral pharmacokinetics. Some drug characteristics may result in subtherapeutic exposure and the potential related risk of treatment failure and resistance. Antiretrovirals that require low pH, administration of fatty meals, longer intestinal exposure, and an enterohepatic recirculation for their absorption may be most impacted by bariatric surgery procedures. Additionally, some antiretrovirals can interact with the polyvalent cations in supplements or drugs inhibiting gastric acid, thereby preventing their use as these comedications are commonly prescribed post-bariatric surgery. Predicting pharmacokinetics on the basis of drug characteristics solely proved to be challenging, therefore pharmacokinetic studies remain crucial in this population. Here, we discuss general implications of bariatric surgery on antiretroviral outcomes in people living with HIV as well as drug properties that are relevant for the choice of antiretroviral treatment in this special patient population. Additionally, we summarise studies that evaluated the pharmacokinetics of antiretrovirals post-bariatric surgery. Finally, we performed a comprehensive analysis of theoretical considerations and published pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data to provide recommendations on antiretrovirals for people living with HIV undergoing bariatric surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Given its feasibility and efficacy, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become a widely accepted bariatric surgery for patients with clinically diagnosed severe obesity. LSG induces anatomical changes and subsequent weight loss which may affect drug pharmacokinetics (PK) and consequently impact dosing regimens. This review aims to examine the effect of LSG on drug PK and identify relevant gastrointestinal physiological alterations. AREAS COVERED PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were searched for articles related to drug PK and LSG from inception to July 2021. Moreover, literature concerning postoperative physiological conditions in the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastric pH, gastric emptying, and small bowel transit time, etc., which may affect the PK profile of drug products was also reviewed. EXPERT OPINION Although LSG is classified as having restrictive property without malabsorptive bypass, postoperative changes in gastrointestinal physiology and subsequent weight loss may also lead to increased, decreased or unaltered drug exposure levels. General monitoring on drug efficacy or safety using biomarkers is proposed. In addition, therapeutic drug monitoring for those drugs when it is applicable and available is recommended to ensure efficient drug dosing and avoid adverse effects. Further research into many individual drugs are warranted.

Abstract
Background: Despite rising rates of obesity among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive individuals, the safety and tolerability of surgery in this population have not been established. The primary aim of this study was to examine the safety of bariatric surgery and rate of in-hospital postoperative complications in morbidly obese patients with HIV. Materials and Methods: The U.S. Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was queried between 2004 and 2014 for discharges with codiagnoses of morbid obesity and bariatric surgery. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included length of stay, hospitalization costs, and multiple categories of complications, including systemic complications, surgical complications, and nutritional and behavioral complications. Results: Among 267,082 patients with discharge diagnoses of morbid obesity and bariatric surgery, 346 (0.13%) were diagnosed with HIV. On multivariable analysis, HIV did not influence in-hospital mortality (p = 0.530). HIV was not associated with increased risk of renal failure (p = 0.274), thromboembolism (p = 0.713), myocardial infarction (p = 0.635), sepsis (p = 0.757), hemorrhage (p = 0.303), or wound infection (p = 0.229). Other measured surgical complications were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Notably, HIV-positive patients had an increased risk for postoperative pneumonia (p = 0.002), pancreatitis (p = 0.049), and thiamine deficiency (p = 0.016). Conclusion: Bariatric surgery among HIV-positive patients appears to be acceptably safe with the risk of postoperative complications comparable with non-HIV patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) dramatically reduced AIDS development, thus enabling patients to live as long as the general population. New challenges have emerged particularly cardiometabolic diseases and weight gain, with some HIV patients seeking bariatric surgery (BS). However, BS outcomes during HIV remain poorly described, with scarce data on ART pharmacokinetic post-BS. OBJECTIVE Describing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) results in HIV patients in terms of ART pharmacokinetic, HIV control, weight loss, and metabolic outcomes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Prospective study of HIV patients undergoing SG in a referral academic center, with at least 6 months follow-up. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Clinical and biological parameters, HIV medical history, and ART pharmacokinetics were gathered before and post-SG. RESULTS Seventeen patients (mean BMI = 44.2 ± 5.7 kg m-2) and major obesity-related diseases (47% type-2 diabetes, 64% obstructive sleep apnea, 70% hypertension) underwent SG during a mean 2 years of follow-up. They displayed an average of 20% reduction of initial BMI and improved body composition, similarly to obese non-HIV patients. SG improved metabolic status. All patients had undetectable viral load before BS. Upon HIV follow-up, 12 patients had undetectable viral load with correct ART kinetic parameters (3 and 6 months); 4 displayed detectable viral load along with significant decrease in raltegravir and atazanavir treatment exposure, leading to ART change with subsequent undetectable viral load; and 1 had persistent detectable viral load despite ART change. CONCLUSIONS SG seems effective and safe in obese HIV patients. However, ART treatment should be monitored post-SG to control HIV infection. We suggest that some ART should be adapted before SG conjoints with infectious disease specialists.

Abstract
Obesity among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals is on the rise. Bariatric procedures such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) alter the GI tract. Whether this alteration has any impact on the absorption of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), thus affecting HIV disease markers such as CD4 cell count or viral load (VL), is not yet known. We conducted this review to look into the outcomes of bariatric surgery procedures, RYGB, SG and adjustable gastric band (AGB) and its effects on the CD4 cell counts and VL and HAART therapy. A literature search was conducted between January and April 2017, by two independent reviewers, using Pubmed and Google Scholar. The terms 'bariatric surgery and HIV', 'obesity surgery and HIV', 'gastric bypass surgery and HIV', 'sleeve gastrectomy and HIV' and 'gastric band and HIV' were used to retrieve available research. Of the 49 papers reviewed, only 12 reported the outcomes of patients with HIV undergoing bariatric surgery and were therefore included in this review. Six papers assessed patients undergoing RYGB only (N = 18), 3 papers reported on SG only (N = 18) and 3 papers reported on case mix, including 7 cases of RYGB, 4 cases of SG and 11 cases of AGB. Data is limited; however, based on the available data, bariatric surgery is safe in HIV-infected individuals and does not have any adverse impact on HIV disease progress. Additionally, there was no difference in HIV-related outcomes between SG and RYGB.

Abstract
Background The efficacy and safety of bariatric surgery have not been fully elucidated in patients affected with human immunodeficiency virus. Although adjustable gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy are starting to be used in patients with human immunodeficiency virus, there are limited descriptions of the outcomes of type 2 diabetes mellitus in individuals who are human immunodeficiency virus positive and undergoing these procedures. Case presentation We have evaluated retrospectively three patients who underwent adjustable gastric banding or sleeve gastrectomy, the effect in weight reduction and glycemic control as well as its impact on human immunodeficiency virus management. Case 1 (adjustable gastric banding), a 58-year-old Caucasian male, achieved 19% total weight loss, Case 2, a 33-year-old Caucasian male (sleeve gastrectomy) lost 25%, and Case 3, a 48-year-old Caucasian female (sleeve gastrectomy), lost 14% postoperation. In terms of type 2 diabetes mellitus, Case 2 achieved complete remission according to American Diabetes Association criteria, while Case 1 would also have achieved remission were it not for the continuation of metformin postoperatively. Insulin requirements and pill burden were markedly reduced in Case 3 after sleeve gastrectomy, although lack of remission was predictable given the longevity of type 2 diabetes mellitus and preoperative insulin dosage. In all three cases, human immunodeficiency virus status did not appear to be affected by the bariatric surgery which was supported by the postoperative stable CD4 count and undetectable viral load. Conclusions Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective treatment modality in patients who are human immunodeficiency virus positive with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paradoxically, advances in anti-retroviral therapy that has increased survival for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have resulted in greater numbers of HIV+ patients developing other chronic diseases, including obesity. Little comparative literature exists detailing perioperative or metabolic outcomes of bariatric surgery in the HIV+ population compared to HIV negative (HIV-) controls. METHODS This is a retrospective case-control study with both HIV+ (case) and HIV- control patients. Individuals undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2015 were included. HIV+ status was defined as any individual with documented history of HIV. RESULTS Eleven HIV+ patients underwent RYGB or SG during the study period. After matching (1:5 HIV+: HIV-) both cohorts had similar mean age (42 years), gender distribution (63% female), and preoperative BMI (48 kg/m2), as well as comorbidities. There were no differences in postoperative length of stay, or all cause 30-day morbidity. There were 63.7% HIV+ and 76.4% with 1-year follow-up available. Both percent excess weight loss (56% HIV+ vs. 60% HIV-) and BMI (32 HIV+ vs. 34 kg/m2 HIV-) were similar in both groups. There were minimal changes to CD4 count or HIV viral load in the patients during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery is safe and feasible in HIV-infected population well controlled on anti-retroviral medication. The short-term surgical and metabolic outcomes are similar to HIV- controls with minimal effect on the CD4 count and viral load in HIV+ cohort for long-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of antiretroviral therapy has made HIV a chronic condition. The prevalence of obesity in HIV positive patients has subsequently risen and is present in 6-34% of men and 21-30% of women (Keithley et al. J Assoc Nurses AIDS Care 20(4):260-74, 2009). Sleeve gastrectomy is a safe and effective procedure for weight loss in the general population, but having HIV may bring hesitation to performing bariatric surgery for some practitioners. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients with HIV. METHODS A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of patients with HIV who underwent LSG at a community hospital by a single surgeon was performed. Nine patients with HIV underwent LSG. Primary outcomes include weight loss at 6 and 12 months and postoperative CD4 count and viral load. Secondary outcomes include alteration to antiretroviral therapy (ART). RESULTS Our patients had a mean BMI of 46 (range 35-66) and were all well controlled on ART preoperatively. Mean weight loss at 12 months was 40 kg (range 21-55), with mean excess body weight loss 69% (range 42-112). There were no significant changes in CD4 counts, and all patients continued to have undetectable viral loads at 1 year postoperatively. One patient had a change in ART, which was unrelated to bariatric surgery. There were no complications in our patient group. CONCLUSION This is the largest series to date evaluating sleeve gastrectomy in HIV-positive patients and further supports the safety and efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy in this patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite rising rates of obesity among patients with HIV, the potential role for weight loss surgery in this population remains less clear. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the role of bariatric surgery on relevant clinical outcomes among hospitalized obese patients with HIV. DESIGN Retrospective analysis using the United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 2004 to 2014. Using Poisson regression, adjusted incidence risk ratios (IRR) were derived for clinical outcomes in patients with prior-bariatric surgery compared with those without bariatric surgery. PATIENTS Patients with discharge co-diagnoses of morbid obesity and HIV. INTERVENTION Bariatric surgery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included renal failure, urinary tract infection, malnutrition, sepsis, pneumonia, respiratory failure, thromboembolic events, gastrointestinal strictures, micronutrient deficiency, length of stay, and hospitalization costs. RESULTS Among 7803 patients with discharge diagnoses of HIV and morbid obesity, 346 patients (4.4%) had bariatric surgery. The proportion of bariatric surgery in obese patients with HIV initially declined by -0.10% per year from 2004 to 2009 (Ptrend < 0.05), then increased at an annual rate of +0.33% from 2012 to 2014 (Ptrend < 0.05). On multivariable analysis, bariatric surgery did not influence mortality (P = 0.98). Bariatric surgery was associated with decreased risk for renal failure, respiratory failure, and sepsis (all P < 0.001). However, bariatric surgery increased the risk for postoperative strictures (IRR 2.5; 95% CI 1.5-4.5; P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Though initially underutilized, bariatric surgery in morbidly obese HIV patients is increasing and appears to be well tolerated and effective in significantly reducing life-threatening morbidity.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE With the advent of antiretroviral therapy and the resultant decrease in mortality among adults living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), there is now an increased incidence of obesity and obesity-related comorbidities in these patients. Bariatric surgery is becoming an increasingly common treatment option for patients who are classified as clinically obese. There are limited data regarding the use of antiretroviral therapy in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the available literature regarding antiretroviral therapy and pharmaceutical properties in this special population. METHODS Literature review was performed through PubMed, utilizing search terms of bariatric surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y, HIV infection, obesity and antiretroviral. Direct medical information requests to antiretroviral pharmaceutical manufacturers were also completed. RESULTS Several case series and case reports have been published which demonstrate minimal risk of complications and maintenance of virologic suppression in the vast majority of patients. Bariatric surgery appears to be an effective mechanism for assistance in controlling obesity in patients infected with HIV; however, numerous factors may impact the safe and effective use of antiretroviral therapy. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Due to the physiologic changes and postoperative management following bariatric surgery, evaluation of the patients' medication regimens must be considered and several factors should be taken into account when choosing the appropriate antiretroviral regimen for these patients. Furthermore, communication between the patients' surgeon, HIV provider and a clinical pharmacist should occur prior to surgery to ensure the patient is optimized to achieve the best outcome including maintaining virologic suppression.

Abstract
In the current era of available therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), life expectancy for persons living with HIV (PLWH) nears that of the general population. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) has become a particular burden for PLWH and society at large. PLWH have historically been shown to have an excess of cardiovascular risk and subsequent events when compared to the general population. Potential explanations include the increased prevalence of traditional risk factors, direct inflammatory and immunological effects from the HIV virus itself, and metabolic adverse effects of anti-retroviral therapy (ART). Over the past few years, there has been building evidence that chronic inflammation and immune activation independent of virologic suppression contribute significantly to excess ASCVD risk. Although independent agents and combination therapies have varying metabolic effects, the evidence from major randomized controlled trials (RCTs) supports the benefits of early initiation of ART. In this review, we will discuss the epidemiology of ASCVD in HIV-infected patients compared with the general population, give an overview of potential pathogenesis of high-risk plaque in HIV-infected patients, discuss different metabolic effects of individual anti-retrovirals, and discuss the limitations in current screening models for assessing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and future directions for treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few data on bariatric surgery are available regarding obese human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. SETTINGS Antoine Beclere hospital, Clamart, Paris-sud University, France METHODS: Prospective observational follow-up study recruited HIV-infected patients who underwent bariatric surgery from 2009 to 2015. Baseline demographic characteristics, surgery characteristics, perioperative outcomes, changes in weight loss, HIV markers, antiretroviral drug plasma levels are described. RESULTS There were 10 patients followed before and after sleeve gastrectomy: 2 men and 8 women; 50% of African origin; median age, 48.5 years, median time since HIV infection, 7.5 years; median body mass index, 48.5 kg/m2. Of patients, 8 had co-morbidities. All except 2 patients received antiretroviral drugs at the time of surgery with a median CD4 cell count at 709/mm3. There was no death or postoperative infectious complications. The median follow-up was 18 months (range, 15-55). The median postoperative weight loss was 43 kg (range, 17-83). Median percentage of excess weight loss was 82.5% (range, 35-119) at the latest visit after surgery. All co-morbidities were resolutive with weight loss. We observed no significant modification of CD4 cell count before and after surgery. Pharmacokinetics of antiretroviral drugs remains adequate and efficacious. CONCLUSION Our prospective series is the largest one on sleeve gastrectomy procedures performed on obese-treated HIV-infected patients. The sleeve generates good results in weight loss, with no significant impact on HIV infection, and with improvement of obesity-associated co-morbidities. Optimal management of HIV-infected patients with morbid obesity may include classical surgical procedures.

Abstract
Even though wasting used to characterize patients with HIV infection prior to the antiretroviral therapy (ART) era, obesity is becoming increasingly prevalent in this population. Areas covered: In the present review, we discuss the epidemiology, consequences and treatment options for obesity in patients with HIV infection. Expert commentary: Obesity exerts a multitude of detrimental cardiometabolic effects and appears to contribute to the increasing cardiovascular mortality of this population. However, there are very limited data on the optimal management of obesity in patients with HIV infection. Given the potential for interactions between antiobesity agents and ART that might compromise viral control, lifestyle changes should represent the cornerstone for the prevention and management of obesity in HIV infection.

Abstract
There are many unsolved questions about safety of bariatric surgery in the context of severely obese patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and notably on antiretroviral therapy (ART) absorption. Here, we provide the first case series of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) pharmacokinetic in four HIV-infected patients before and after sleeve-gastrectomy. Our case-series showed a transient and reversible decrease of TDF bioavailability one month after sleeve-gastrectomy without any consequences on CD4 cells and HIV viral load. More studies are needed since the impact of bariatric surgery on drug absorptions in the field of infectious diseases remains poorly investigated.

Abstract
The management of morbid obesity and its metabolic complications among HIV-infected patients requires a multi-disciplinary approach, with surgical interventions as one option. We sought to assess the long-term durability of ART among HIV-infected patients undergoing bariatric procedures for the management of morbid obesity. During the study period, 7 patients underwent a bariatric surgery procedure for the management of morbid obesity: 3 patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy, 2 patients underwent laparoscopic banding, and 2 patients underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Overall, the proportion of undetectable HIV viral load levels did not change after the bariatric procedures, although 2 patients did require temporary cessation of medications due to procedure-related complications. Sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass were safe and effective among morbidly obese HIV-infected patients in our clinic population.
