[PMID: 38597513 PMCID: PMC11216375 DOI: 10.1097/qad.0000000000003904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the association between obesity and cancer risk as well as site-specific cancer risks in adults with HIV using a nationwide health screening database in Korea. METHODS Of the 16,671 adults with a new diagnosis of HIV from 2004 to 2020, 456 incident cancer cases and 1814 individually matched controls by sex, year of birth, year of HIV diagnosis, and follow-up duration (1 : 4 ratio) were included in this nested case-control study. The association between obesity (BMI ≥25 kg/m 2 ) and cancer risks was estimated and presented as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). RESULTS Of the 456 cancer incident cases, there were 146 AIDS-defining cancer cases and 310 non-AIDS-defining cancer cases. Compared with nonobese adults with HIV, obese adults with HIV were at higher risk of non-AIDS-defining cancer (OR = 1.478, 95% CI = 1.118-1.955). Otherwise, the overall risk of AIDS-defining cancer (OR = 0.816, 95% CI = 0.520-1.279) and each type of AIDS-defining cancer (Kaposi sarcoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) were not high in obese adults with HIV. Of the specific types of non-AIDS-defining cancers, obesity was associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (OR = 3.090, 95% CI = 1.110-8.604) and liver, bile duct, and pancreatic cancers (OR = 2.532, 95% CI = 1.141-5.617). CONCLUSION Obesity, which is one of the important health concerns in HIV management, was associated with an increased risk of non-AIDS-defining cancer but not AIDS-defining cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop consensus data statements and clinical recommendations to provide guidance for improving cardiometabolic health outcomes in people with HIV based on the knowledge and experience of an international panel of experts. METHODS A targeted literature review including 281 conference presentations, peer-reviewed articles, and background references on cardiometabolic health in adults with HIV published between January 2016 and April 2022 was conducted and used to develop draft consensus data statements. Using a modified Delphi method, an international panel of 16 experts convened in workshops and completed surveys to refine consensus data statements and generate clinical recommendations. RESULTS Overall, 10 data statements, five data gaps and 14 clinical recommendations achieved consensus. In the data statements, the panel describes increased risk of cardiometabolic health concerns in people with HIV compared with the general population, known risk factors, and the potential impact of antiretroviral therapy. The panel also identified data gaps to inform future research in people with HIV. Finally, in the clinical recommendations, the panel emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to comprehensive care that includes regular assessment of cardiometabolic health, access to cardiometabolic health services, counselling on potential changes in weight after initiating or switching antiretroviral therapy and encouraging a healthy lifestyle to lower cardiometabolic health risk. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of available data and expert consensus, an international panel developed clinical recommendations to address the increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders in people with HIV to ensure appropriate cardiometabolic health management for this population.

Abstract
Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is defined as the combination of excess fat mass (obesity) and low skeletal muscle mass and function (sarcopenia). The identification and classification of factors related to SO would favor better prevention and diagnosis. The present article aimed to (i) define a list of factors related with SO based on literature analysis, (ii) identify clinical conditions linked with SO development from literature search and (iii) evaluate their relevance and the potential research gaps by consulting an expert panel. From 4746 articles screened, 240 articles were selected for extraction of the factors associated with SO. Factors were classified according to their frequency in the literature. Clinical conditions were also recorded. Then, they were evaluated by a panel of expert for evaluation of their relevance in SO development. Experts also suggested additional factors. Thirty-nine unique factors were extracted from the papers and additional eleven factors suggested by a panel of experts in the SO field. The frequency in the literature showed insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, lack of exercise training, inflammation and hypertension as the most frequent factors associated with SO whereas experts ranked low spontaneous physical activity, protein and energy intakes, low exercise training and aging as the most important. Although literature and expert panel presented some differences, this first list of associated factors could help to identify patients at risk of SO. Further work is needed to confirm the contribution of factors associated with SO among the population overtime or in randomized controlled trials to demonstrate causality.

Coprevalence and associations of diabetes mellitus and hypertension among people living with HIV/AIDS in Cameroon. AIDS Res Ther 2024; 21:36. [PMID: 38824579 PMCID: PMC11144319 DOI: 10.1186/s12981-024-00624-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between HIV infection and increased cardiometabolic risk, attributed to chronic inflammation in people living with HIV (PLWH) and/or antiretroviral therapy (ART) effects, has been inconsistent. In this study, we aimed to assess the associations of HIV-related factors with hypertension (HTN) and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the potential mediation effects of body mass index (BMI) in the associations between ART use and HTN or T2DM in PLWH in Cameroon. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 14,119 adult PLWH from Cameroon enrolled in the International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) between 2016 and 2021. HTN was defined as systolic/diastolic blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg and/or current use of antihypertensive medication, while T2DM was defined as fasting blood sugar ≥ 126 mg/dL and/or use of antidiabetic medications. Univariable and multivariable multinomial logistic regression analyses examined the associations of factors with HTN alone, T2DM alone, and both (HTN + T2DM). Mediation analyses were conducted to assess the potential mediation roles of BMI, while controlling for age, sex, and smoking. RESULTS Of the 14,119 participants, 9177 (65%) were women, with a median age of 42 (25th-75th percentiles: 35-51) years. Age > 50 years was associated with HTN alone, T2DM alone, and HTN + T2DM compared to the age group 19-29 years. Men had higher odds of having HTN + T2DM. Overweight and obesity were predictors of HTN alone compared to being underweight. WHO stages II and III HIV disease were inversely associated with HTN alone compared to stage I. The odds of diabetes alone were lower with ART use. BMI partially mediated the association between ART use and hypertension, with a proportion of mediation effect of 49.6% (all p < 0.02). However, BMI did not mediate the relationship between ART use and diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Traditional cardiovascular risk factors were strongly associated with hypertension among PLWH, while HIV-related exposures had smaller associations. BMI partially mediated the association between ART use and hypertension. This study emphasizes the importance of screening, monitoring, and managing HTN and T2DM in older, male, and overweight/obese PLWH. Further research on the associations of HIV disease stage and ART use with HTN and T2DM is warranted.

Abstract
HIV type 1 (HIV-1) is the causative agent of AIDS. Since the start of the epidemic, HIV/AIDS has been responsible for ≈40 million deaths. Additionally, an estimated 39 million people are currently infected with the virus. HIV-1 primarily infects immune cells, such as CD4+ (cluster of differentiation 4+) T lymphocytes (T cells), and as a consequence, the number of CD4+ T cells progressively declines in people living with HIV. Within a span of ≈10 years, HIV-1 infection leads to the systemic failure of the immune system and progression to AIDS. Fortunately, potent antiviral therapy effectively controls HIV-1 infection and prevents AIDS-related deaths. The efficacy of the current antiviral therapy regimens has transformed the outcome of HIV/AIDS from a death sentence to a chronic disease with a prolonged lifespan of people living with HIV. However, antiviral therapy is not curative, is challenged by virus resistance, can be toxic, and, most importantly, requires lifelong adherence. Furthermore, the improved lifespan has resulted in an increased incidence of non-AIDS-related morbidities in people living with HIV including cardiovascular diseases, renal disease, liver disease, bone disease, cancer, and neurological conditions. In this review, we summarize the current state of knowledge of the cardiovascular comorbidities associated with HIV-1 infection, with a particular focus on hypertension. We also discuss the potential mechanisms known to drive HIV-1-associated hypertension and the knowledge gaps in our understanding of this comorbid condition. Finally, we suggest several directions of future research to better understand the factors, pathways, and mechanisms underlying HIV-1-associated hypertension in the post-antiviral therapy era.

Abstract
Background Adults living with HIV (ALHIV) are at increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS). Several factors are associated with an increase in MetS in these individuals, including certain antiretroviral therapies (ART). There is limited data on the prevalence of MetS among ALHIV in sub-Saharan Africa following scale up of newer integrase inhibitor-containing ART regimens. Objective We assessed the prevalence and correlates of MetS among ALHIV patients receiving tenofovir, lamivudine, and dolutegravir (TLD) in Tanzania. Methods We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of ALHIV aged ≥18 enrolled in a cardiovascular health study at six HIV Care and Treatment Clinics from 11/2020-1/2021 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. MetS was defined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the results, and logistic regression was used to assess demographic, behavioral, and HIV-related risk factors associated with MetS. Covariates with a p-value <0.2 at the univariate level were included in the multivariate model. Results Three hundred and eighty nine participants were included in the analysis. The mean age (SD) was 43 years (±11) years, and 286 (73.5%) were female. The prevalence of MetS in this population was 21%. In univariate analysis, MetS components that were significantly higher among women vs. men included abdominal obesity (27.3% vs. 4.9%), reduced HDL (77.9% vs. 53.4%), and elevated glucose (18.5% vs. 14.6%), all p< 0.05. Age≥ 50 yrs [AOR 3.25; (95% CI 1.80-5.84), p < 0.01] and BMI [AOR 0.16; (95% CI 0.09-0.30), P ≤0.01] were both associated with an increased odds of MetS in multivariate analyses. Conclusion MetS. is prevalent among Tanzanian ALHIV on TLD. Routine screening for MetS and healthy lifestyle promotion, particularly among women and those aging, should be a priority to prevent against cardiovascular disease. Further studies are needed to monitor the long-term impact of these newer ART regimens on MetS and CVD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity is rising among people with HIV (PLWH), sparking interest in bariatric surgery (BS) for this group. Yet, large-scale comparative research on BS outcomes in PLWH is lacking. METHODS We performed a retrospective, matched cohort analysis in PLWH and HIV uninfected controls. Subjects were retrieved from the Dutch Audit for Treatment of Obesity (DATO) registry. Matching (1:7 ratio) included age (± 5-years), sex, body-mass index (BMI) of ± 3 kg/m2, surgery type, and associated health problems (AHPs) at baseline. The primary endpoint was total weight loss percentage (%TWL) ≥ 20% achieved at 1-year post-BS. Secondary endpoints were cumulative %TWL achieved at 2-years post-BS, a reported remission or improvement in AHPs post-BS, and surgical complications, both at 1-year post-BS. Comparisons were performed using conditional logistic regression. RESULTS Twenty-seven PLWH and 168 controls were included. At 1-year post-BS, 89% PLWH achieved ≥ 20%TWL, compared to 94% of controls (p = 0.4). Cumulative %TWL at 2-years post-BS were 82% and 92% in PLWH and controls, respectively (p = 0.2). Improvement rates in hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus were 50% and 86% in PLWH, versus 87% and 87% in controls. Full remission occurred in 20% and 71% of PLHIV, versus 49% and 44% of controls, respectively. No improvement or remission was observed for dyslipidaemia in PLHIV compared to 54% improvement and 29% remission in controls. Surgical complications were 0% in PLHIV and 13% (n = 21) in controls. CONCLUSION Efficacy and safety outcomes of BS were similar between PLWH and controls except for the lack of improvement in dyslipidaemia in PLWH.

[PMID: 38725702 PMCID: PMC11079384 DOI: 10.4102/sajhivmed.v25i1.1523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with weight gain, but this has been shown to be more marked with dolutegravir and other integrase strand transfer inhibitors. Objectives We studied weight gain in people living with HIV (PLWH) on ART compared to the general population in the period before dolutegravir was introduced in a rural South African cohort. Method Longitudinal analysis of the Ndlovu Cohort Study including 36-48 months' follow-up data. From 2014 to 2019, data were collected annually in Limpopo, rural South Africa. Linear mixed models using HIV status, demographics, ART use and cardiovascular risk factors were used to estimate trends in body mass index (BMI) over time. Results In total, 1518 adult, non-pregnant participants were included, of whom 518 were PLWH on ART (79.8%), 135 PLWH not yet on ART (20.2%) and 865 HIV-negative. HIV-negative participants had significantly higher BMIs than PLWH on ART at all study visits. There was a significant increase in BMI in all subgroups after 36 months (PLWH on ART, BMI +1.2 kg/m2, P < 0.001; PLWH not on ART, BMI +1.8 kg/m2, P < 0.001 and HIV-negative, BMI +1.3 kg/m2, P < 0.001). Conclusion The increase in BMI in PLWH and HIV-negative participants is a serious warning signal as obesity results in morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
In resourced settings, adults living with perinatally acquired HIV are approaching the 5th decade of life. Their clinical and psychological outcomes highlight potential future issues for the much larger number of adolescents growing up with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, and will inform the development of appropriate healthcare services. Lifelong exposure to HIV, and increasingly to antiretroviral therapy throughout growth and development, contrasts with adults acquiring HIV in later life. This review describes the clinical outcomes for adults living with perinatally acquired HIV including post transition mortality, morbidity and retention in care. Rates of viral suppression, drug resistance and immunological function are explored. Co-morbidities focus on metabolic, cardiovascular, respiratory and bone health with quality-of-life data including neurocognitive functioning and mental health. Sexual and reproductive health including vaccine-preventable disease and the prevention of onward transmission to partners and infants are considered. The data gaps and future research questions to optimise outcomes for this emerging adult cohort are highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Newer antiretrivirals (ART) have shifted the metabolic experiences of people with HIV (PWH) from those of wasting syndrome to increases in body mass index (BMI). This study sought to examine the relationship between BMI and ART use among youth with HIV (YWH). METHODS Charts from YWH ages 10-24 with at least two documented BMIs at least 6 months apart between 2017 and 2020 were included (N = 44). Statistical analyses were conducted in SAS 9.4. RESULTS Clients were predominately African American (66%) males (73%) aged 19-24 years (64%), with men having sex with men (48%) being the most common mode of transmission. YWH on non-integrase inhibitor (INSTI) regimens had greater absolute increases in BMI compared to those on INSTI regimens (p = 0.03). Fourteen percent of clients using INSTI experienced an increase in BMI class from normal to overweight or overweight to obese; no non-INSTI users changed BMI class. Time since diagnosis and BMI change due to weight gain were positively associated (p = 0.03) among behaviorally-acquired YWH. CONCLUSIONS Increasing BMI and changing BMI classes may be more likely among YWH using INSTI. More longitudinal studies inclusive of diet and exercise profiles are needed to understand the relationship between INSTI and YWH BMI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although dolutegravir (DTG) is deemed stable, safe, cost-effective, and clinically beneficial, it also carries the risk of side effects, including observed weight gain among patients on DTG-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens. We compared weight changes among adults (≥18 years) initiating tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, lamivudine, and dolutegravir (TLD) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, emtricitabine, and efavirenz (TEE) regimens and those switching from TEE to TLD (TEE-to-TLD switchers) in three large primary care facilities in South Africa METHODS: We conducted a retrospective longitudinal record review using patient medical records, extracting relevant demographic and clinical data from October 2018 to June 2021 from randomly selected adults who initiated TLD or TEE (initiators) and adult TEE-to-TLD switchers. We assessed weight, body mass index (BMI), and percentage weight changes for both groups and fitted linear regression and generalized linear models to determine factors associated with weight and BMI change and percentage weight change ≥10%, respectively, among treatment initiators. We fitted linear mixed-effect models among TEE-to-TLD switchers to consider repeated measures. RESULTS Of 860 initiators, 450 (52.3%) initiated on TEE and 410 (47.7%) on TLD, with median follow-up of 1.4 years and 1.0 year, respectively. At initiation, 43.3% on TEE and 40.8% on TLD were overweight or obese. TLD initiators had an adjusted higher mean weight gain of 1.6 kg (p < 0.001) and mean BMI gain of 0.51 kg/m2 (p < 0.001) than TEE initiators. Independent risk factors for higher mean weight and BMI included age ≥50 years, male, on ART for >12 months, initial BMI of <18.5 kg/m2, and CD4 counts <200 cells/μL. Of 298 TEE-to-TLD switchers, 36.6% were overweight or obese at TEE initiation. Comparing before and after TLD switch, TEE-to-TLD switchers had an adjusted mean weight of 1.2 kg less while on TLD (p = 0.026). Being overweight and CD4 counts >350 cells/μL were independent risk factors for lower weight gain after TLD switch. CONCLUSIONS We report more weight gain among TLD than among TEE initiators, although to a lesser extent than previously reported. TEE-to-TLD switchers experienced less weight gain after TLD switch; return to health before receiving TLD may be a contributory factor. The current findings are reassuring for those switching to a DTG-based regimen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is limited real-world evidence about the effectiveness of semaglutide for weight loss among people with HIV (PWH). We aimed to investigate weight change in a US cohort of PWH who initiated semaglutide treatment. DESIGN Observational study using the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) cohort. METHODS We identified adult PWH who initiated semaglutide between 2018 and 2022 and with at least two weight measurements. The primary outcome was within-person bodyweight change in kilograms at 1 year. The secondary outcome was within-person Hemoglobin A1c percentage (HbA1c) change. Both outcomes were estimated using multivariable linear mixed model. RESULTS In total, 222 new users of semaglutide met inclusion criteria. Mean follow-up was 1.1 years. Approximately 75% of new semaglutide users were men, and at baseline, mean age was 53 years [standard deviation (SD): 10], average weight was 108 kg (SD: 23), mean BMI was 35.5 kg/m 2 , mean HbA1c was 7.7% and 77% had clinically recognized diabetes. At baseline, 97% were on ART and 89% were virally suppressed (viral load < 50 copies/ml). In the adjusted mixed model analysis, treatment with semaglutide was associated with an average weight loss of 6.47 kg at 1 year (95% CI -7.67 to -5.18) and with a reduction in HbA1c of 1.07% at 1 year (95% CI -1.64 to -0.50) among the 157 PWH with a postindex HbA1c value. CONCLUSION Semaglutide was associated with significant weight loss and HbA1c reduction among PWH, comparable to results of previous studies from the general population.

Abstract
Nutritional status is considered a major diagnostic and prognostic indicator of HIV/AIDS in adults. In this aspect, current HIV-treatment guidelines, particularly in low-income countries, recommend the regular monitoring of body mass index (BMI) to determine patients' clinical response to antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, data regarding the change in BMI status of HIV-positive adults on ART following the implementation of the test and treat strategy were limited in Ethiopia. Hence, this study is aimed at investigating the trends of BMI change over time and its associated factors among HIV-positive adults in Northwest Ethiopia. A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted among 404 randomly selected HIV-positive adults receiving ART in Felegehiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (FHCSH), Northern Ethiopia. Data were extracted from the medical record charts of study participants, entered into Epi-data 4.6 software, and exported to Stata 14.2 software for analysis. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was fitted to determine the change in BMI status over time and its predictors in HIV-positive adults. The level of significance was declared at a p-value of < 0.05. More than half (201, or 51.73%) of the total 404 participants were female. In the cohort, both the baseline and follow-up mean body mass index levels of the participants fell in the normal range and increased from 20.34 (standard deviation/SD ± 2.8) to 21.41 (SD ± 3.13). The individual profile plots of 50 participants indicated that there is considerable variability in weight change across individuals. Duration of ART follow-up (β = 0.203, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.16 to 0.24), unemployment (β = - 0.96, 95% CI 1.67 to - 0.25), WHO stage III/IV HIV disease (β = - 0.92, 95% CI - 1.57 to - 0.35),and Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Dolutegravir (TDF/3TC/DTG)ART regimen (β = 0.95, 95% CI 0.32 to 1.57) were identified as significant predictors of change in the BMI status of participants. Likewise, the interaction of TDF/3TC/DTG ART regimen * follow-up duration (β = 2.16, 95% CI 1.84 to 2.84), WHO stage III/IV clinical disease * follow-up duration (β = - 1.43, 95% CI - 1.71 to - 1.15) and TB/HIV co-infection * follow-up duration (β = 1.89, 95% CI 1.57 to 2.87) significantly affects the trend in BMI change status of HIV-positive adults. In this study, the BMI status of HIV-positive adults receiving ART increased with a linear trend. Unemployment, stage III/IV HIV diseases, and Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Efavirenz (TDF/3TC/EFV) ART-drug regimen decreases the mean BMI status of HIV-positive adults. Special consideration and strict follow-up need to be given to those individuals with advanced HIV/AIDS diseases and other identified risk group.

Abstract
This review aims to summarize pharmacological interventions that may affect adiposity and metabolic equilibrium in individuals with obesity. Pharmacological therapy is frequently used to treat medical conditions that are both directly related to obesity (such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes) and indirectly related to obesity (such as asthma, insomnia, and type 1 diabetes). This pharmacological therapy may result in weight gain and alterations in the metabolic profile. Many medication classes are implicated in the pharmacologic causes of weight gain, including antipsychotics, glucocorticoids, beta-adrenergic blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, antihistamines, insulin, neuropathic agents, sleep agents, and steroids. This article describes the mechanisms of action and pathways of pharmacological interventions causing obesity.

INTRODUCTION This study investigated the interactions between a low protein high calorie (LPHC) diet and an integrase inhibitor-containing antiretroviral drug regimen (INI-CR)in light of evidence suggesting that the initiation of cART in patients with poor nutritional status is a predictor of mortality independent of immune status. METHODS Freshly weaned Sprague Dawley rats (120) were randomized into the standard, LPHC and normal protein high calorie (NPHC) diet groups (n = 40/group) initially for 15 weeks. Thereafter, experimental animals in each diet group were further randomized into four treatment sub-groups (n = 10/group) Control (normal saline), group 1(TDF+3TC+DTG and Tesamorelin), group 2 (TDF+3TC+DTG), and Positive control (AZT+3TC+ATV/r) with treatment and diets combined for 9 weeks. Weekly body weights, fasting blood glucose (FBG), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); lipid profiles, liver weights, hepatic triglycerides and adiposity were assessed at week 24. RESULTS At week 15, body weights increased between the diet group in phase 1(standard 146 ± 1.64 vs. 273.1 ± 1.56 g), (NPHC, 143.5 ± 2.40 vs. 390.2 ± 4.94 g) and (LPHC, 145.5 ± 2.28 g vs. 398.3 ± 4.89 g) (p< 0.0001). A similar increase was noted in the FBG and OGTT (p< 0.0001). In phase 2, there was an increase in FBG, OGTT, body weights, lipid profile, liver weights, hepatic triglycerides, adiposity and insulin levels in group 2 and positive control in both NPHC and LPHC diet groups (p<0.0001). Growth hormone levels were decreased in Tesamorelin-free group 2 and positive control in both NPHC and LPHC (p< 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The obesogenic activities of the LPHC diet exceeded that of the NPHC diet and interacted with both integrase-containing and classical cART drug regimens to reproduce cART associated metabolic dysregulation. The effects were however reversed by co-administration with tesamorelin, a synthetic growth hormone releasing hormone analogue.

Abstract
Background While several methodologies are available to measure adiposity, few have been validated in sub-Saharan African (SSA) and none in postpartum African women living with HIV (WLHIV). We compared bioelectrical impendence analysis (BIA) and air displacement plethysmography (ADP) against dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in South African women and examined differences by HIV and body mass index (BMI) status. Methods Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) test was used to examine fat mass (FM), fat free mass (FFM), and total body fat percent (%BF) difference between BIA vs. DXA, and ADP vs. DXA in women living with HIV (n = 57) and without HIV (n = 25). The Bland Altman test was used to assess mean differences and the direction of bias. Results The median age was 31 years (IQR, 26-35) and months postpartum were 11 (IQR, 7-16), 44% of the women had obesity. Lin's CCC for BIA and ADP vs. DXA were both 0.80 for %BF and 0.97 for FM, and 0.86 and 0.80 for FFM, respectively. Mean differences (DXA-BIA and ADP estimates) were 0.22 ± 4.54% (p = 0.54) and 3.35 ± 3.27% (p < 0.01) for %BF, -0.82 ± 3.56 kg (p = 0.06) and 1.43 ± 2.68 kg (p = 0.01) for FM, -1.38 ± 3.61 kg (p = 0.01) and - 3.34 ± 2.37 kg (p < 0.01) for FFM, respectively. BIA overestimated %BF in WLHIV and underestimated it in women with obesity. Conclusion Body composition measurements using BIA and ADP correlated well with DXA, thereby providing alternative, safe tools for measuring postpartum FM and FFM in SSA women, including WLHIV.

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 Excess weight gain is an important health concern among people with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The extent to which ART contributes to body mass index (BMI) changes is incompletely understood. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of PWH initiating ART and demographically matched people without HIV (PWoH). Data on baseline BMI (kg/m2; categorized as underweight/normal, overweight, or obese) and ART class (integrase strand transfer inhibitor [INSTI], non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor [NNRTI], protease inhibitor [PI]) were obtained from electronic health records. BMI was evaluated longitudinally using piecewise linear splines in mixed effects models by HIV status, baseline BMI, and ART class. Models were adjusted for sociodemographics, comorbidities, and substance use. Results The study included 8256 PWH and 129 966 PWoH (mean baseline age, 40.9 and 42.2 years, respectively; 88% men). In adjusted models, the average annual change in BMI in the first 2 years after ART initiation was 0.53 for PWH and 0.12 for PWoH (P < .001). BMI increases among PWH were observed for all ART classes: 0.69 for INSTIs, 0.69 for PIs, and 0.40 for NNRTIs vs 0.12 among PWoH. For PWH initiating INSTIs, BMI increases were observed regardless of baseline BMI. Overall BMI changes >2 years after ART initiation were similar by HIV status (0.02 average annual increase for PWH and PWoH). Conclusions PWH initiating ART gained excess weight in the first 2 years, emphasizing the importance of monitoring weight and cardiometabolic health among ART-treated PWH.

Abstract
Background Obesity-related cancers in the 16 Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries is quite prominent. The changes and time trends of the burden of obesity-related cancers in developing countries like SADC remain largely unknown. A descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted to assess the burden of obesity-related cancers, (liver, esophageal, breast, prostate, colon/rectal, leukemia, ovarian, uterine, pancreatic, kidney, gallbladder/biliary tract, and thyroid cancers) in SADC countries. Methods Data from the 2019 Global Burden of Diseases Study was used. Deaths extracted from vital registration, verbal autopsies and ICD codes. Cancer-type, mortality and prevalence per 100,000 population and 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) were calculated using the Cause of Death Ensemble model and Spatio-Temporal Gaussian process with mixed effects regression models. Annual rates of change (AROCs) between 1990 and 2019 and the corresponding UIs were calculated. Results The top age-standardized mortality rates per 100,000 in 2019 for males were leukemia, 20.1(14.4-26.4), esophageal cancer, 15.1 (11.2-19.1), and colon and rectal cancer, 10.3 (8.6-12.6). For females, breast cancer, 20.6 (16.6-25.0), leukemia, 17.1 (11.4-23.7), and esophageal cancer, 8.3 (5.5-10.7), had the leading mortality rates. For males, AROC substantial (p < 0.05) increase for kidney cancer for 11 of the countries (AROC from 0.41% to 1.24%), colon cancer for eight of the countries (from 0.39% to 0.92%), and pancreatic cancer for seven countries (from 0.26% to 1.01%). In females, AROC showed substantial increase for pancreatic cancer for 13 of the countries from (0.34%-1.67%), nine countries for kidney cancer (from 0.27% to 1.02%), seven countries each for breast cancer (0.35%-1.13%), and ovarian cancer (from 0.33% to 1.21%). Conclusions There is need for location-specific and culturally appropriate strategies for better nutrition and weight control, and improved screening for all cancers. Health promotion messaging should target kidney, colon, pancreatic, and breast cancers and encourage clinically tested methods of reducing BMI such as increasing personal physical activity and adoption of effective dietary regimes.

Abstract
This review underscores the important role of nutrition in enhancing the management of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1). Highlighting the efficacy of dietary interventions, including, the importance of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins D and B-12, and the Mediterranean diet, we delineate how these beneficial nutritional strategies can improve the effectiveness of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), mitigate its side effects, and ameliorate metabolic disorders in people living with HIV-1 (PLWH). Our review advocates for the integration and implementation of personalized nutritional assessments into the care plan for PLWH, proposing actionable strategies for healthcare providers in HIV-1 field. Summarizing the current standing of the relevance of the nutritional and well-planned diet recommended for the PLWH and emphasizing on the future research directions, this review establishes a foundation for nutrition as a cornerstone in comprehensive HIV-1 management. Our review aims to improve patients' health outcomes and overall quality of life for PLWH.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The public health challenge of overweight and obesity increasingly affects people living with HIV (PWH). These effects have also accelerated as the prevalence of antiretroviral therapy (ART) use has increased among PWH. It is therefore also critical that we examine and understand the pathogenesis of obesity among PWH.This review will aim to summarize relevant and recent literature related to the risks of weight gain and obesity associated with HIV disease progression, cardiometabolic disease, and multimorbidity among PWH. Further, we will discuss adipose tissue changes associated with weight gain and obesity and how these changes relate to metabolic complications. RECENT FINDINGS Several observational and experimental studies in recent years have evaluated the role of contemporary ART regimens, particularly integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), as contributors to weight gain, obesity, and cardiometabolic disease, though the mechanisms remain unclear. Metabolic dysregulation has also been linked to ectopic fat deposition and alterations in innate and adaptive immune cell populations in adipose tissue that accompany HIV and obesity. These factors continue to contribute to an increasing burden of metabolic diseases in an aging HIV population. SUMMARY Obesity accompanies an increasing burden of metabolic disease among PWH, and understanding the role of fat partitioning and HIV and ART-related adipose tissue dysfunction may guide prevention and treatment strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW People with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) globally are disproportionately affected by obesity, with prevalence rates highest among women with HIV. The purpose of this review is to discuss rates of obesity, factors associated with obesity, and adverse consequences of obesity among PWH. RECENT FINDINGS Among PWH on ART, rates of obesity have increased over the last several decades and tend to be higher than the general population. Weight gain with the initiation of new ART regimens such as integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based regimens are thought to contribute to higher rates of obesity among PWH on ART. Other factors, such as sex and ethnicity, also are associated with obesity among PWH on ART. Higher obesity rates among PWH may contribute to heightened cardiometabolic disease risk and lower health-related quality of life. SUMMARY Prospective studies which identify factors associated with increased obesity prevalence and weight gain among PWH are necessary for the development and implementation of obesity prevention and treatment strategies among PWH on ART and, in turn, reduce the prevalence of obesity in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Estimating the medical complexity of people aging with HIV can inform clinical programs and policy to meet future healthcare needs. The objective of our study was to forecast the prevalence of comorbidities and multimorbidity among people with HIV (PWH) using antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the United States (US) through 2030. METHODS AND FINDINGS Using the PEARL model-an agent-based simulation of PWH who have initiated ART in the US-the prevalence of anxiety, depression, stage ≥3 chronic kidney disease (CKD), dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, end-stage liver disease (ESLD), myocardial infarction (MI), and multimorbidity (≥2 mental or physical comorbidities, other than HIV) were forecasted through 2030. Simulations were informed by the US CDC HIV surveillance data of new HIV diagnosis and the longitudinal North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design (NA-ACCORD) data on risk of comorbidities from 2009 to 2017. The simulated population represented 15 subgroups of PWH including Hispanic, non-Hispanic White (White), and non-Hispanic Black/African American (Black/AA) men who have sex with men (MSM), men and women with history of injection drug use and heterosexual men and women. Simulations were replicated for 200 runs and forecasted outcomes are presented as median values (95% uncertainty ranges are presented in the Supporting information). In 2020, PEARL forecasted a median population of 670,000 individuals receiving ART in the US, of whom 9% men and 4% women with history of injection drug use, 60% MSM, 8% heterosexual men, and 19% heterosexual women. Additionally, 44% were Black/AA, 32% White, and 23% Hispanic. Along with a gradual rise in population size of PWH receiving ART-reaching 908,000 individuals by 2030-PEARL forecasted a surge in prevalence of most comorbidities to 2030. Depression and/or anxiety was high and increased from 60% in 2020 to 64% in 2030. Hypertension decreased while dyslipidemia, diabetes, CKD, and MI increased. There was little change in prevalence of cancer and ESLD. The forecasted multimorbidity among PWH receiving ART increased from 63% in 2020 to 70% in 2030. There was heterogeneity in trends across subgroups. Among Black women with history of injection drug use in 2030 (oldest demographic subgroup with median age of 66 year), dyslipidemia, CKD, hypertension, diabetes, anxiety, and depression were most prevalent, with 92% experiencing multimorbidity. Among Black MSM in 2030 (youngest demographic subgroup with median age of 42 year), depression and CKD were highly prevalent, with 57% experiencing multimorbidity. These results are limited by the assumption that trends in new HIV diagnoses, mortality, and comorbidity risk observed in 2009 to 2017 will persist through 2030; influences occurring outside this period are not accounted for in the forecasts. CONCLUSIONS The PEARL forecasts suggest a continued rise in comorbidity and multimorbidity prevalence to 2030, marked by heterogeneities across race/ethnicity, gender, and HIV acquisition risk subgroups. HIV clinicians must stay current on the ever-changing comorbidities-specific guidelines to provide guideline-recommended care. HIV clinical directors should ensure linkages to subspecialty care within the clinic or by referral. HIV policy decision-makers must allocate resources and support extended clinical capacity to meet the healthcare needs of people aging with HIV.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW HIV epidemics are increasing in many emerging economy countries, whilst the very process of 'economic emergence' is obesogenic. Annual deaths related to obesity and overweight are now four times more than for HIV globally. We describe the intersections between HIV and obesity in emerging economies, and highlight potential mitigation options, including antiobesity medications (AOMs), which are safe and effective, but inaccessibly priced. RECENT FINDINGS We summarize what is known about weight-change in HIV and review strategies including public health policies and clinical interventions for emerging economy countries to fight obesity. We also illustrate the landscape from a selection of 'emerging economy' countries with available data from UNAIDS, World Bank and World Obesity Federation to visualize the developing challenges faced. AOM course prices are high in many countries, but could be manufactured and sold profitably for much less. We present lessons from the early HIV/AIDS movements on how to improve access and pricing for AOMs for people with HIV with obesity in emerging economy countries. SUMMARY We illustrate the complex intersectional issues that 'emerging economy countries' may experience, with a 'double burden' of increasing HIV and obesity epidemics, and explore potential mitigation options, focussing on AOM access and pricing.

Open Forum Infect Dis 2023; 10:ofad582.

Abstract
Background A prospective study was extended to the new antiretroviral and monitoring strategies in HIV-infected adults in low-income countries (NAMSAL-ANRS)-12313 trial, a 96-week open-label, multicenter, randomized phase 3 trial comparing dolutegravir (DTG) 50 mg with efavirenz 400 mg (EFV400), both administered with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and lamivudine (TDF/3TC) as first-line treatment for antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive people living with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV). Noninferiority of DTG to EFV400 was demonstrated at 48-week and sustained at 96 weeks. Here, we present results at 192-week. Methods Previous trial participants were reconsented and followed up on their initial randomization arm (1:1 DTG/TDF/3TC:EFV400/TDF/3TC). Assessments included changes in viral suppression, biological parameters, and new serious adverse events (SAEs). Results Among the participants enrolled in the trial, 81% (499/613) were analyzed at week 192: 84% (261/310) on DTG/TDF/3TC and 78% (238/303) on EFV400/TDF/3TC. HIV RNA suppression was maintained in 69% (214/310) on DTG/TDF/3TC-based and 62% (187/303) on EFV400/TDF/3TC-based regimens (difference, 7.3% [95% confidence interval, -.20 to 14.83]; P = .057). Five (DTG/TDF/3TC = 2; EFV400/TDF/3TC = 3) new viral failures (World Health Organization definition) without related resistance DTG mutations and 24 new SAEs were observed (DTG/TDF/3TC = 13; EFV400/TDF/3TC = 11). Mean weight gain was +9.4 kg on DTG/TDF/3TC and +5.9 kg on EFV400/TDF/3TC. The percentage of participants with obesity increased from 6.9% to 27.7% on DTG/TDF/3TC (P < .0001) and from 8.3% to 16.7% on EFV400/TDF/3TC (P = .0033). Conclusions Four-year follow-up of people with HIV on DTG- and EFV400-based regimens showed long-term efficacy and safety of both ARTs, markedly among participants on DTG/TDF/3TC with high baseline viral load. However, unexpected substantial weight gain over time was prominent among participants on DTG/TDF/3TC, which should be closely monitored. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT02777229.

Outcomes of Bariatric Surgery in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: A Retrospective Analysis From the ATHENA Cohort. Clin Infect Dis 2023; 77:1561-1568. [PMID: 37392435 PMCID: PMC10686945 DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciad404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023] Open
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.

Weight Gain After 12 Months of Switching to Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide in Virologically Suppressed HIV Patients. AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses 2023; 39:511-517.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that the introduction of antiretroviral agents such as integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI) may lead to weight gain in people living with HIV (PLHIV). In this retrospective observational study, we report the weight changes observed in virologically suppressed HIV patients after 12 months of switching to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/F/TAF) due to a national change in public policy in Mexico. Patients on prior regimens based on TDF/FTC or ABC/3TC plus non-nucleoside retrotranscriptase inhibitor, INSTI, or protease inhibitor were included. In the 399 patients analyzed, a significant weight increase was found, as well as an increase in body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), glucose, creatinine, and CD4+ cells after 12 months of switching treatment (all p ≤ .001). Mean weight gain was 1.63 kg [confidence interval (95% CI): 1.14-2.11], whereas the average percentage of weight gained was 2.5% (95% CI: 1.83-3.17). After considering the confounding effect of baseline weight status, the change in weight and BMI did not present significant differences between any of the prior treatment schemes. In conclusion, PLHIV switching to BIC/F/TAF therapy experienced weight gain after the first year of switching treatment. Although this weight gain could be due to the switch in treatment regimen, it cannot be excluded that it was caused by other factors since no comparable control group could be used for comparison.

Abstract
The present study evaluates the non-communicable disease (NCD) patterns and related risk factors among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Iran. This national cross-sectional survey study was conducted on 1173 confirmed PLWHs with a mean age of 35.35 (56.82 Over 50 years old, 33.90 Under 50 years old) admitted from 15 different provinces in the country. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association of factors with having at least one NCD comorbidity. From 1173 PLWH, 225(19.18%) participants experienced at least one NCD (15.20% and 38.69% among under- and over-50-year-old patients, respectively). The prevalence of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and sleep apnea among all patients was 1.59%, 2.05%, 1.55%, and 10.26%, respectively. The similar prevalence for each NCD among those over 50 years was 10.11%, 15.71%, 9.01%, 25.44%, and 1.01%, 1.12%, 1.04%, and 9.23% among those under 50 years, respectively. The odds of being at risk of at least one NCD stood higher in patients over 50 years (ORadj = 2.93, 95% CI 1.96-4.37), married (ORadj = 2.48, 95% CI 1.41-4.35), divorced or widowed (ORadj = 2.78, 95% CI 1.48-5.20), and obese (ORadj = 3.82, 95% CI 2.46-5.91). According to our findings regarding the prevalence of NCDs among patients under 50 years of age, we recommend that policymakers give greater consideration to this group in the screening and care programs for NCDs since adults and the elderly are both vulnerable to the risk factors for developing NCDs.

Abstract
Despite cancer being a leading comorbidity amongst individuals with HIV, there are limited data assessing cancer trends across different antiretroviral therapy (ART)-eras. We calculated age-standardised cancer incidence rates (IRs) from 2006-2021 in two international cohort collaborations (D:A:D and RESPOND). Poisson regression was used to assess temporal trends, adjusted for potential confounders. Amongst 64,937 individuals (31% ART-naïve at baseline) and 490,376 total person-years of follow-up (PYFU), there were 3763 incident cancers (IR 7.7/1000 PYFU [95% CI 7.4, 7.9]): 950 AIDS-defining cancers (ADCs), 2813 non-ADCs, 1677 infection-related cancers, 1372 smoking-related cancers, and 719 BMI-related cancers (groups were not mutually exclusive). Age-standardised IRs for overall cancer remained fairly constant over time (8.22/1000 PYFU [7.52, 8.97] in 2006-2007, 7.54 [6.59, 8.59] in 2020-2021). The incidence of ADCs (3.23 [2.79, 3.72], 0.99 [0.67, 1.42]) and infection-related cancers (4.83 [4.2, 5.41], 2.43 [1.90, 3.05]) decreased over time, whilst the incidence of non-ADCs (4.99 [4.44, 5.58], 6.55 [5.67, 7.53]), smoking-related cancers (2.38 [2.01, 2.79], 3.25 [2.63-3.96]), and BMI-related cancers (1.07 [0.83, 1.37], 1.88 [1.42, 2.44]) increased. Trends were similar after adjusting for demographics, comorbidities, HIV-related factors, and ART use. These results highlight the need for better prevention strategies to reduce the incidence of NADCs, smoking-, and BMI-related cancers.

De Vincentis S, Rochira V. Update on acquired hypogonadism in men living with HIV: pathogenesis, clinic, and treatment. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1201696. [PMID: 37455928 PMCID: PMC10338827 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1201696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypogonadism is a frequent finding among men living with HIV (MLWH) and it seems to occur earlier in comparison with the general male population. Although the prevalence of hypogonadism in MLWH has significantly lowered thanks to advancements in medical management, it remains high if compared with age-matched HIV-uninfected men, ranging from 13% to 40% in the age group of 20-60 years. Signs and symptoms of low serum testosterone (T) in MLWH are cause of concern since they are non-specific, of mild-to-moderate degree, and often overlapping with those of infection per se. For these reasons, hypogonadism can be underestimated in the absence of targeted laboratory blood examinations. With regard to the etiological factors involved in the T decrease, emerging evidence has suggested the functional nature of hypogonadism in MLWH, pointing out the mutual relationship between sex steroids, health status, comorbidities, and HIV-related factors. In agreement with this hypothesis, a therapeutic approach aiming at improving or reversing concomitant diseases through lifestyle changes (e.g. physical activity) rather than pharmacological T treatment should be theoretically considered. However, considering both patient's barriers to lifestyle changes to be maintained overtime and the lack of evidence-based data on the efficacy of lifestyle changes in normalizing serum T in MLWH, T therapy remains an option when other non-pharmacological interventions are ineffective as well as for all other functional forms of hypogonadism. From this perspective, the traditional therapeutic management of male hypogonadism in MLWH, especially the role of T supplementation, should be revised in the light of the probable functional nature of hypogonadism by considering a good balance between benefits and harmful. This narrative review presents an overview of current knowledge on hypogonadism in MLWH, deepening the factors driving and taking part in T decrease, providing advice for the clinical approach, and underlining the importance of individualized treatment aiming at optimizing non-gonadal comorbidities and thus avoiding over-, or even unnecessary, treatment with T.

The Effect of Cardiorespiratory Exercise in the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension among HIV-Infected Individuals on Antiretroviral Therapy in Mthatha, South Africa. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:1836. [PMID: 37444670 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11131836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The prevalence of hypertension among people living with HIV (PLHIV) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is concerning. Physical activity is a proposed approach for managing and avoiding hypertension in this population. While cardiorespiratory exercises (CET) have been efficacious in the general population, its effectiveness in PLHIV on ART, especially in the study setting, in Mthatha is unknown. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to see if CET improves cardiorespiratory fitness in HAART-treated PLHIV with blood flow restriction (BFR) in Mthatha, South Africa. A quasi-experimental study with 98 participants (49 of whom were cases) was carried out. Cases were participants assigned to the CET intervention group that comprised of concurrent training as it included both aerobic and resistance exercise, matched on age and gender. The relationship between CET and hypertension was assessed using logistic regression after adjusting for possible confounding variables. At baseline, there was no significant difference between the physical characteristics of the two groups, and after the intervention, there was a significant difference. Obesity and central adiposity were identified as strong risk factors for hypertension. The findings also indicated that a reduction in waist circumference and body mass index had a significant positive association with hypertension treatment amongst the intervention group (p < 0.05). According to the results of the study, CET has the potential to be an efficient and economical non-pharmacological intervention for the management and control of hypertension in PLHIV. However, further study is required to establish how long, how intense, and what kind of exercise is best for this population.

Weight and Metabolic Outcomes in Naïve HIV Patients Treated with Integrase Inhibitor-Based Antiretroviral Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12113644. [PMID: 37297839 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12113644] [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: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of integrase inhibitor-based antiretroviral therapy could be associated with worse weight and metabolic outcomes in patients with HIV infection. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus were searched from inception to March 2022. We selected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing integrase inhibitors with other antiretroviral classes (efavirenz-based or protease inhibitor-based therapies) in naïve HIV patients. Random effects meta-analysis was used to assess the effects of integrase inhibitors vs. controls on weight and lipid outcomes. Effects were described as mean differences (MD) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). Certain pieces of evidence (CoE) were evaluated using the GRADE methodology. RESULTS Six RCTs (n = 3521) were included, with patients followed up between 48 and 96 weeks. The use of integrase inhibitors in comparison with other antiretroviral classes was associated with an increase in weight (MD 2.15 kg, 95%CI 1.40 to 2.90, I2 = 0%, moderate CoE), and decreases in total cholesterol (MD -13.44 mg/dL, 95%CI -23.49 to -3.39, I2 = 96%, low CoE), LDL cholesterol (MD -1.37 mg/dL, 95%CI -19.24 to -3.50, I2 = 83%, low CoE), HDL cholesterol (MD -5.03 mg/dL, 95%CI -10.61 to 0.54, I2 = 95%, low CoE), and triglycerides (MD -20.70 mg/dL, 95%CI -37.25 to -4.15, I2 = 92%, low CoE). There was a high risk of bias in two RCTs and some concerns about bias in two RCTs. CONCLUSIONS In HIV patients, the use of integrase inhibitor-based therapy in comparison with protease inhibitor- or NNRTI-based therapy was associated with a small increase in weight and small decreases in lipid serum levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) dramatically improved survival in people living with HIV (PLWH) but is associated with weight gain (WG), raising concern for a possible obesity epidemic in PLWH. This scoping review aims to identify the gaps in the existing evidence on WG in PLWH and generate a future research agenda. METHODS This review was conducted according to the methodology for scoping studies and reported according to the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Review checklist. Articles published in English in the last 10 years indexed in Pubmed, WHO Global Index Medicus, or Embase were searched using specific queries focused on WG in PLWH. RESULTS Following the selection process, 175 included articles were reviewed to search for the available evidence on four specific topics: (I) definition of WG in PLWH, (II) pathogenesis of WG in PLWH, (III) impact of ART on WG, (IV) correlation of WG with clinical outcomes. A summary of the data enabled us to identify gaps and clearly define the following research agenda: (I) develop a data-driven definition of WG in PLWH and define noninvasive assessment methods for body weight and fat composition; (II) further investigate the interaction between HIV/cART and immunity, metabolism, and adipose tissue; (III) establish the specific role of individual drugs on WG; (IV) clarify the independent role of WG, cART, HIV, and metabolic factors on clinical events. CONCLUSIONS The proposed research agenda may help define future research and fill the knowledge gaps that have emerged from this review.

Changes in body mass index, weight, and waist-to-hip ratio over five years in HIV-positive individuals in the HIV Heart Aging Study compared to the general population. Infection 2023:10.1007/s15010-023-02009-8.

Abstract
PURPOSE Overweight and obesity have increased in people living with HIV (PLH). Our study evaluated weight, body-mass-index (BMI), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) change over 5 years of follow-up in PLH compared to the general population. METHODS HIV-positive participants in the HIV Heart Aging (HIVH) study were matched 1:2 by age and sex with HIV-negative controls of the population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall (HNR) study. Both studies were recruited in the German Ruhr area. The association between HIV and weight, BMI, and WHR changes was examined using linear regression. Regression models were adjusted for parameters potentially affecting weight gain. RESULTS The matched HIVH and HNR participants (N = 585 and N = 1170, respectively; 14.7% females) had a mean age of 55 years at baseline. Despite the lower baseline weight (- 6 kg, 95% CI - 7.46 to - 4.59), the linear regression showed greater absolute and relative weight and BMI increases after 5 years in HIVH compared to HNR. Adjusting the linear regression models for smoking amplified that HIVH had a higher absolute and relative weight difference of 0.7 kg or ~ 1% compared to HNR after 5 years (95% Cl 0.1 to 1.3 and 0.2 to 1.6, respectively). Adjusting for HDL, LDL, systolic blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus did not affect the results. CONCLUSIONS PLH had lower weight than the general population at baseline and after 5 years, but experienced greater increases in body weight after 5 years. WHR change after 5 years was lower in PLH compared to the general population, despite a higher WHR at baseline.

Abstract
Background Medical improvements and increased access to treatment have turned HIV from a highly fatal disease into a treatable and controllable disease. With the improvement in lifespan, HIV patients face increasing morbidity and mortality from chronic comorbidities (hypertension and diabetes mellitus). There is, nevertheless, a paucity of information on the scale of HIV noncommunicable disease comorbidity and its associated factors. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and predictors of chronic comorbidity in HIV patients in a resource-limited setting. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted from 2019 to 2021. We included 520 HIV patients at baseline. Patients without hypertension or diabetes were followed for two years to determine the incidence of developing comorbidities. Nine trained nurses used a pre-tested structured questionnaire to collect data during routine care consultations in three hospitals in southern Ethiopia. To find predictors of these chronic comorbidities, a multivariable logistic regression analysis was used. Results After two years, 54 out of 377 participants, or 14%, had chronic comorbidity, which is defined as having diabetes and/or hypertension. Hypertension (12%) and diabetes (4%), respectively, were observed. When compared to those who were not overweight, the risk of developing chronic comorbidity was three times higher in overweight people [AOR = 3.45, 95% CI: (1.04, 11.45), P = 0.045]. Older participants were about 6 times more likely than younger participants to have chronic comorbidity [AOR = 4.93, 95% CI: (1.56, 15.57), P = 0.007]. Those who did not engage in regular physical activity were twice as likely to develop chronic comorbidity [AOR = 2.16, 95% CI: (1.09, 4.29), P = 0.027]. Conclusion The incidence of chronic comorbidity was high in the study population. Targeted screening for early signs of chronic comorbidity, nutritional counseling, and awareness creation in regular physical activity programs should be integrated into HIV care to prevent and control chronic comorbidity in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired vascular compliance is common among persons with HIV (PWH) and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), though many studies documenting this are from regions with a high prevalence of overweight and obesity. The prevalence and characteristics of impaired vascular compliance among PWH with low body mass index (BMI) is not well described, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where the majority of PWH live, a low BMI is more common, and the burden of CVD is rising. AIM To assess non-invasive vascular compliance measurements, including augmentation index (AIX), pulse wave velocity (PWV) and pulse waveforms, in underweight, normal weight, and overweight PWH on long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART) in SSA. METHODS A cross-sectional study among PWH on ART at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. All participants had been on a regimen of efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for five or more years. Carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV), carotid-radial PWV (crPWV), and the corresponding augmentation indexes (cfAIX and crAIX), were measured in all participants, in addition to aortic pressure waveforms, classified as type A, B, C and D according to reflected wave timings and amplitude. Multiple linear regression assessed relationships between demographic and clinical factors with vascular measurement endpoints. RESULTS Ninety one PWH on long-term ART were enrolled; 38 (42%) were underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), 43 (47%) were normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m2) and 10 (11%) were overweight (> 25 kg/m2). Median age was 41, 40 and 40 years, among the three groups, respectively, and the proportion of women increased with BMI level. Overweight participants had a 39% higher cfAIX compared to normal-weight participants, while being underweight was associated with 27% lower cfAIX, after adjusting for age, sex and blood pressure (P = 0.02 and P = 0.01, respectively), but measurements of cfPWV, crPWV and crAIX did not differ. CONCLUSION Underweight PWH in SSA had lower cfAIX measurements compared to normal weight individuals, indicating less arterial stiffness. However, similar cfPWV, crPWV and crAIX values among the underweight and overweight PWH suggest a low BMI may not confer substantial protection against impaired vascular compliance as a contributor to CVD risk among individuals on ART.

Gut microbiota alterations after switching from a protease inhibitor or efavirenz to raltegravir in a randomized, controlled study. AIDS 2023; 37:323-332.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study gut microbiota before and 24 weeks after a single antiretroviral agent switch. DESIGN HIV-positive patients with efavirenz (EFV) or a protease inhibitor (PI)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) were randomized to switch EFV or PI to raltegravir (RAL group, n = 19) or to continue unchanged ART (EFV/PI group, n = 22). Age and weight-matched HIV-negative participants (n = 10) were included for comparison. METHODS Microbiota was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. Serum intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) and serum lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) were measured as gut permeability markers. Three-day food diaries were collected. RESULTS At week 24, microbiota diversity (Chao1 index) was higher in RAL than the EFV/PI group (P = 0.014), and RAL group did not differ from HIV-negative participants. In subgroup analysis switching from EFV (P = 0.043), but not from a PI to RAL increased Chao1. At week 24, RAL and EFV/PI group differed in the relative abundance of Prevotella 9 (higher in RAL, P = 0.01), Phascolarctobacterium and Bacteroides (lower in RAL, P = 0.01 and P = 0.03). Dietary intakes did not change during the study and do not explain microbiota differences. Also, I-FABP and LBP remained unchanged. CONCLUSION Here we demonstrate that a single ART agent switch caused microbiota alterations, most importantly, an increase in diversity with EFV to RAL switch. Previously, we reported weight gain, yet reduced inflammation in this cohort. The observed microbiota differences between RAL and EFV/PI groups may be associated with reduced inflammation and/or increase in weight. Further studies are needed to evaluate inflammatory and metabolic capacity of microbiota with ART switches.

Abstract
People living with HIV (PLHIV) have twice the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, making it essential to identify high cardiovascular risk (CVR). However, there is no validated CVR calculator for PLHIV in Brazil. We performed a cross-sectional study with 265 individuals living with HIV, aged 40 to 74 years, to assess the agreement between three CVR scores: Framingham Risk Score (FRS), Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk Score, and a specific for PLHIV, Reduced Data Collection on Adverse Effects of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:Dr). We assessed agreement using the weighted Kappa coefficient and the Bland-Altman plot. The median age was 52 years (47-58), 58.9% were men, 34% were hypertensive and 8.3% had a detectable viral load. There was an almost perfect agreement between D:A:Dr x FRS (k = 0.82; 95% CI 0.77-0.87; p < 0.001), and substantial agreement between FRS vs. ASCVD (k = 0.74; 95% CI 0.69-0.79; p < 0.001) and between D:A:Dr vs. ASCVD (k = 0.70; 95% CI 0.64-0.76; p < 0.001). The Bland-Altman plot revealed greater discordance between scores as the CVR increased. Our results suggest that the FRS and the D:A:Dr are adequate to classify the CVR in this population, and the D:A:Dr score can be used as an alternative to the FRS in Brazil, as other international guidelines have already advocated.

Abstract
Objective Data on the frequency of cardiovascular disease in people living with human immunodeficiency virus from low- and middle-income countries is scarce. Methods We performed an observational study based on data from a historical cohort of people living with human immunodeficiency virus in Colombia during a 10-year follow-up to describe the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and their behavior according to CD4 count. Results One thousand patients were initially included, out of which 390 had a 10-year follow-up. The mean age was 34 (standard deviation 10) years, and 90% were male. We observed an increase in the prevalence of dyslipidemia (29%-52%, p < 0.001) and obesity (1.1%-3.5%, p < 0.001). Major cardiovascular events occurred in less than 1% of patients. Patients with a CD4 count <200 cells/mm3 had a higher frequency of acute myocardial infarction and obesity. Conclusion Over time, people living with human immunodeficiency virus present with an increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, particularly those with a lower CD4 count.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Weight gain is becoming increasingly prevalent amongst people with HIV (PWH) receiving contemporary antiretroviral treatment. We investigated BMI changes and clinical impact in a large prospective observational study. METHODS PWH aged ≥18 years were included who started a new antiretroviral (baseline) during 2010-2019 with baseline and ≥1 follow-up BMI assessment available. Rates of clinical outcomes (cardiovascular disease [CVD], malignancies, diabetes mellitus [DM] and all-cause mortality) were analysed using Poisson regression to assess effect of time-updated BMI changes (>1 kg/m 2 decrease, ±1 kg/m 2 stable, >1 kg/m 2 increase), lagged by 1-year to reduce reverse causality. Analyses were adjusted for baseline BMI plus key confounders including antiretroviral exposure. RESULTS 6721 PWH were included; 72.3% were male, median age 48 years (interquartile range [IQR] 40-55). At baseline, 8.4% were antiretroviral-naive, and 5.0% were underweight, 59.7% healthy weight, 27.5% overweight, and 7.8% were living with obesity. There was an 8.2% increase in proportion of overweight and 4.8% in obesity over the study period (median follow-up 4.4 years [IQR 2.6-6.7]).100 CVDs, 149 malignancies, 144 DMs, and 257 deaths were observed with incidence rates 4.4, 6.8, 6.6, 10.6 per 1000 person-years of follow-up, respectively. Compared to stable BMI, >1 kg/m 2 increase was associated with increased risk of DM (adjusted incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 1.96, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.36-2.80) and >1 kg/m 2 decrease with increased risk of death (adjusted IRR: 2.33, 95% CI: 1.73-3.13). No significant associations were observed between BMI changes and CVD or malignancies. CONCLUSIONS A BMI increase was associated with DM and a decrease associated with death.

Abstract
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) improves the quality of life of people living with HIV-1 (PLHIV) and reduces the mortality rate, but some individuals may develop metabolic abnormalities. This study evaluated changes in the nutritional status and biochemistry of PLHIV on antiretroviral therapy in a cohort that had not previously received ART and to follow up these individuals for 24 months after starting treatment. The initial cohort consisted of 110 individuals and ended with 42 people, assessed by a physical examination. A biochemical assay was performed using the colorimetric enzyme reaction technique, the proviral load was detected by qPCR and the quantification of the CD4/CD8 T lymphocytes was conducted by flow cytometry. PLHIV had increased levels of total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, ALT, urea and creatinine after 24 months of ART use (p < 0.05). In the assessment of the nutritional status, PLHIV had increased measures of Triciptal Skinfold, body mass index and arm circumference after the use of ART (p < 0.05). The viral load levels decreased and the CD4 levels increased after 24 months of ART use (p < 0.05). The change in the nutritional status in PLHIV on antiretroviral therapy seems to be a slow process, occurring in the long term, therefore, there is the need for a constant evaluation of these people to identify patients who need a nutritional intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiretroviral therapy has improved life expectancy among people living with HIV (PLWH). Despite increased longevity, PLWH are at increased risk of age-related comorbidities, including frailty. We examined the relationship between body composition and frailty among PLWH, and moderation of this relationship by substance use, physical activity (PA), and physical function. METHODS Participants (n = 341; 71% male, 48 ± 10 years, body mass index (BMI) = 27.3 ± 7.0 kg/m2 ) enrolled in the New Orleans Alcohol Use in HIV (NOAH) study underwent measures of body composition, muscle strength, and gait speed. Whole blood phosphatidylethanol (PEth) was measured, and substance use and PA were self-reported. Frailty risk measures included the 58-Item Deficit Index (DI58) and the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) Index 1.0, where higher scores indicate greater frailty risk. RESULTS Multivariable linear regression adjusted for age, sex, and race showed that higher fat-free mass index (FFMI), body fat (%), waist-to-hip ratio, and body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 vs. < 25.0 kg/m2 were significantly (p < 0.05) associated with decreased frailty risk measured by the VACS Index, whereas adjusted analyses showed no association between body composition variables and the DI58 score. Recent alcohol use, muscle strength, and PA, but not lifetime alcohol use or gait speed, significantly moderated associations between body composition variables and frailty risk with medium-to-large effect sizes. Subgroup analyses revealed a negative relationship between DI58 and FFMI among people with PEth > 8 ng/ml and negative relationships of VACS Index with FFMI and WHR in people with lower muscle strength. Overweight or obese BMI categories were positively associated with DI58 in people with lower muscle strength or higher PA level but negatively associated in those with higher muscle strength. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that body composition has significant modulatory effects on frailty risk in PLWH, where obesity increases the risk of frailty and greater muscle mass may be protective, even in individuals who use alcohol. These results highlight the importance of considering body composition, physical activity, and physical function in assessing frailty risk in PLWH, particularly among individuals who use alcohol. Moreover, they support the implementation of physical activity interventions to ameliorate the risk of frailty in aging PLWH.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease with multiple adverse effects on health. The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide, and people of African ancestry are disproportionally affected. Several widely used antiretrovirals have been associated with weight gain and contribute to the rising burden of obesity in people with HIV. Obesity and weight gain on antiretroviral therapy are risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, a condition which also disproportionally affects black populations. In this review, we discuss recent data on weight gain in relation to initiating or switching antiretroviral therapy and advances in the management of obesity. Availability of highly effective treatments for obesity have the potential to address, and potentially reverse, the epidemics of obesity and diabetes mellitus in people with HIV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity among persons living with HIV (PLWH) has increased and weight gain after antiretroviral therapy (ART) can lead to metabolic disorders and impact survival. Our objective was to analyze weight and metabolic changes in HIV näive patients after 48 weeks of ART. METHODS Observational, retrospective, multicentered cohort study comprising naïve-patients who started tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/elvitegravir/cobicistat (TAF/FTC/EVG/c) or abacavir/lamivudine/dolutegravir (ABC/3TC/DTG), with no change in treatment for 48 weeks. Clinical and metabolic parameters were collected at baseline and week-48. Statistical program used was SPSS 21.0.0. RESULTS The study included 329 participants from 6 hospitals. Participants were 89% male and 10% had AIDS diagnosis. Median age was 35 (IQR 27-43) years. Median baseline CD4 count was 417 (IQR 250-569) cell/mm3 and HIV viral load 4.65 (IQR 4.21-5.18) log10 copies/ml. Baseline median weight was 70 (IQR 62-79) kg, body mass index 23.4 (IQR 21.2-26.0) kg/m2; 22.7% overweight and 6.4% obese. ART regimens: ABC/3TC/DTG (196), TAF/FTC/EVG/c (133). Baseline characteristics were similar in both ART groups. Average weight gain at week-48 was 2.9 (SD 5.5) kg (p < 0.0001) with no differences between both groups. There was an increase in obesity (6.4%-8%; p < 0.003) and overweight (22.7%-28.9%; p < 0.0001). Weight increase was associated with AIDS: OR 3.05 (95%; CI 1.009-9.22), p = 0.048; and lower baseline weight: OR 1.032 (95% CI 1.009-1.05), p = 0.006. CONCLUSIONS After ART initiation patients gain weight regardless of the regimen they take. Weight gain is associated with AIDS and the use of TAF/FTC/EVG/c.

Abstract
Overweight is increasingly prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH), and is a high risk factor for metabolic disorders in this population. PLWH co-infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) have a higher risk of metabolic disorders than their mono-infected counterparts. The putative relationship between cannabis use and body weight found in the general population has never been documented in HIV-HCV co-infected people. We tested whether cannabis use is associated with body mass index (BMI), overweight, and underweight in HCV co-infected PLWH (N = 992). Mixed-effects linear and logistic regression models were used to study the association between cannabis use and the three outcomes over time. After multivariable adjustment, cannabis use was inversely associated with BMI. Cannabis use was associated with a lower and higher risk of overweight and underweight, respectively. Cannabis use should be assessed and taken into account in the clinical management of the HIV-HCV co-infected population.
