Abstract
OBJECTIVES With management of comorbidity in people living with HIV (PLWH) a key component of clinical care, early loss of bone integrity and clinical fracture are recognized as important issues. This review aims to describe the epidemiology of fracture in PLWH, as well as summarizing the relative balance of factors that contribute to fracture. We also aim to describe fracture risk assessment and interventional strategies to modify the risk of fracture in this population. RESULTS Data from recent meta-analyses show that PLWH have significantly more fractures than the general population, with men and injecting drug users at higher risk. Modifiable factors that contribute to fracture risk in this cohort include body mass index (BMI), drug use, concurrent medications, frailty, and hepatitis C virus infection. Relating to antiretroviral therapy, current or ever tenofovir exposure has been identified as predictive of fracture but not cumulative use, and a potentially modest protective effect of efavirenz has been observed. Fracture Risk Assessment Tool scores underestimate fracture risk in PLWH with improved accuracy when HIV is considered a cause of secondary osteoporosis and bone mineral density (BMD) included. CONCLUSION Early consideration of risk, prompting evaluation of modifiable risk factors, frailty and falls risk with bone density imaging and prompt intervention may avert fracture in PLWH. Guidance on screening and lifestyle modification is available in international guidelines. Bisphosphonates are safe and effective in PLWH, with limited data for other agents.

Association of a Polygenic Risk Score With Osteoporosis in People Living With HIV: The Swiss HIV Cohort Study. J Infect Dis 2023; 228:742-750. [PMID: 37225667 PMCID: PMC10503954 DOI: 10.1093/infdis/jiad179] [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: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone mineral density (BMD) loss may be accelerated in people with HIV (PLWH). It is unknown whether a polygenic risk score (PRS) is associated with low BMD in PLWH. METHODS Swiss HIV Cohort Study participants of self-reported European descent underwent ≥2 per-protocol dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements ≥2 years apart (2011-2020). Univariable and multivariable odds ratios (ORs) for DXA-defined osteoporosis were based on traditional and HIV-related risk factors and a genome-wide PRS built from 9413 single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with low BMD in the general population. Controls were free from osteoporosis/osteopenia on all DXA measurements. RESULTS We included 438 participants: 149 with osteoporosis and 289 controls (median age, 53 years; 82% male, 95% with suppressed HIV RNA). Participants with unfavorable osteoporosis PRS (top vs bottom quintile) had univariable and multivariable-adjusted osteoporosis ORs of 4.76 (95% CI, 2.34-9.67) and 4.13 (1.86-9.18), respectively. For comparison, hepatitis C seropositivity, 5-year tenofovir disoproxil fumarate exposure, and parent history of hip fracture yielded univariable osteoporosis ORs of 2.26 (1.37-3.74), 1.84 (1.40-2.43), and 1.54 (0.82-2.9). CONCLUSIONS In PLWH in Switzerland, osteoporosis was independently associated with a BMD-associated PRS after adjustment for established risk factors, including exposure to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.

Contribution of Genetic Background and Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Drugs (D:A:D) Clinical Risk Score to Chronic Kidney Disease in Swiss HIV-infected Persons With Normal Baseline Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate. Clin Infect Dis 2021; 70:890-897.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the relative contribution of genetic background, clinical risk factors, and antiretrovirals to chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown. METHODS We applied a case-control design and performed genome-wide genotyping in white Swiss HIV Cohort participants with normal baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR >90 mL/minute/1.73 m2). Univariable and multivariable CKD odds ratios (ORs) were calculated based on the Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:D) score, which summarizes clinical CKD risk factors, and a polygenic risk score that summarizes genetic information from 86 613 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. RESULTS We included 743 cases with confirmed eGFR drop to <60 mL/minute/1.73 m2 (n = 144) or ≥25% eGFR drop to <90 mL/minute/1.73 m2 (n = 599), and 322 controls (eGFR drop <15%). Polygenic risk score and D:A:D score contributed to CKD. In multivariable analysis, CKD ORs were 2.13 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.55-2.97) in participants in the fourth (most unfavorable) vs first (most favorable) genetic score quartile; 1.94 (95% CI, 1.37-2.65) in the fourth vs first D:A:D score quartile; and 2.98 (95% CI, 2.02-4.66), 1.70 (95% CI, 1.29-2.29), and 1.83 (95% CI, 1.45-2.40), per 5 years of exposure to atazanavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, respectively. Participants in the first genetic score quartile had no increased CKD risk, even if they were in the fourth D:A:D score quartile. CONCLUSIONS Genetic score increased CKD risk similar to clinical D:A:D score and potentially nephrotoxic antiretrovirals. Irrespective of D:A:D score, individuals with the most favorable genetic background may be protected against CKD.

Systematic De-escalation of Successful Triple Antiretroviral Therapy to Dual Therapy with Dolutegravir plus Emtricitabine or Lamivudine in Swiss HIV-positive Persons. EClinicalMedicine 2018; 6:21-25. [PMID: 31193647 PMCID: PMC6537552 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2018.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2018] [Revised: 11/01/2018] [Accepted: 11/16/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies increasingly suggest that the efficacy of certain dual antiretroviral therapy (ART) combinations is equal to triple ART. Increasing concerns among HIV-positive patients and physicians in Switzerland include ART cost and long-term ART safety and toxicity, i.e. taking only as many ART agents as necessary. The aims of this retrospective analysis are to report on the de-escalation of our entire clinic population of eligible patients with well-controlled HIV-infection to dolutegravir-containing dual ART. METHODS Starting in March 2015, we systematically considered the de-escalation of eligible patients to either dolutegravir/emtricitabine or dolutegravir/lamivudine, by discontinuing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or abacavir. We report on the virological efficacy, tolerability and patient satisfaction ≥ 48 weeks after de-escalation. FINDINGS Of 106 HIV-positive patients followed in our clinic, 70 patients were de-escalated. Three returned to triple ART (insomnia after dolutegravir start, n = 2; new wish for single tablet regimen, n = 1). All de-escalated patients and all who continued triple ART had suppressed HIV viremia at last follow-up and were satisfied with their ART regimen, except for one patient who had virological failure after ART discontinuation in the setting of major depression. The most common reasons to not de-escalate included hepatitis B co-infection (n = 6), physician's concern about ART adherence (n = 6), patient reluctance to switch from a single tablet to a 2-tablet regimen (n = 7), patient satisfied with current ART (n = 5) and others (n = 12). INTERPRETATION ART de-escalation to dolutegravir/FTC or dolutegravir/3TC is possible in the majority of patients virologically suppressed on triple ART, and may effectively address patient and physician concerns about long-term safety and cost of ART.

Abstract
Ever since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 1995, HIV infection has been linked to "metabolic" complications (insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, osteoporosis, and others). Studies suggested increased rates of myocardial infarction, renal insufficiency, neurocognitive dysfunction, and fractures in HIV-postitive patients. Even long-term suppression of HIV seemed to be accompanied by an excess of deleterious inflammation that could promote these complications. The aims of this viewpoint paper are to summarize recent data and to examine the possibility that the problem of aging-related morbidity in HIV might not be as dramatic as previously believed.
