Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory disorder characterized by airflow limitation and persistent respiratory symptoms. People with HIV (PWH) are particularly vulnerable to COPD development; PWH have demonstrated both higher rates of COPD and an earlier and more rapid decline in lung function than their seronegative counterparts, even after accounting for differences in cigarette smoking. Factors contributing to this HIV-associated difference include chronic immune activation and inflammation, accelerated aging, a predilection for pulmonary infections, alterations in the lung microbiome, and the interplay between HIV and inhalational toxins. In this review, we discuss what is known about the epidemiology and pathobiology of COPD among PWH and outline screening, diagnostic, prevention, and treatment strategies.

FRONTIERS IN REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH 2023; 5:1178304.

Abstract
Background People living with HIV (PLHIV) have a greater risk of developing respiratory disorders. The problems are linked to poor socio-economic status, high viral load, low CD4 counts, and antiretroviral therapy. Despite the high prevalence of respiratory disorders, the association between HIV infection and pulmonary function status, as well as the associated factors, is not well established in resource-limited countries. Methods A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from September 24 to October 15 2020 at Jimma Medical Center among people living with HIV who were arranged into an age-sex-matched comparison group. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire administered via face-to-face interviews. The collected data included socio-demographic, respiratory, HIV infection, and substance use variables. Pulmonary function tests were conducted using an SP10 spirometer. The collected data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 26. Independent t-test and multiple linear regressions were carried out to identify factors associated with the pulmonary function status of the study participants. Results A total of 96 PLHIV and 96 matched control individuals participated in the study. The mean of pulmonary function test parameters among the PLHIV respondents was FVC (l) (67.35 ± 19.12, p0.003), FEV1s (l) (61.76 ± 16.04, p0.001), and PEFR (50.14 ± 23.32, p0.001), with a significant lowering in the study group. Female sex, respiratory symptoms, duration of HIV, duration of treatment, and khat chewing were associated with lowered FEV1s (l) (p < 0.05) in HIV-positive respondents. Conclusion PLHIV had significantly lower mean lung function parameters than HIV-uninfected participants. As a result, health providers should screen HIV-positive patients with respiratory symptoms, prolonged duration of HIV infection, prolonged treatment, and khat chewing for non-infectious lung disorders while treating them.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES An isolated reduction in the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco; iso↓DLco) is one of the most common pulmonary function test (PFT) abnormalities in people living with HIV (PWH), but its clinical implications are incompletely understood. In this study, we explored whether iso↓DLco in PWH is associated with a greater respiratory symptom burden. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis. METHODS We used ATS/ERS compliant PFTs from PWH with normal spirometry (post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ≥0.7; FEV1, FVC ≥80% predicted) from the I AM OLD cohort in San Francisco, CA and Seattle, WA, grouped by DLco categorized as normal (DLco ≥lower limit of normal, LLN), mild iso↓DLco (LLN >DLco >60% predicted), and moderate-severe iso↓DLco (DLco ≤60% predicted). We performed multivariable analyses to test for associations between DLco and validated symptom-severity and quality of life questionnaires, including the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC), the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), as well as between DLco and individual CAT symptoms. RESULTS Mild iso↓DLco was associated only with a significantly higher SGRQ score. Moderate-severe iso↓DLco was associated with significantly higher odds of mMRC ≥2 and significantly higher CAT and SGRQ scores. PWH with moderate-severe iso↓DLco had increased odds of breathlessness, decreased activity, lower confidence leaving home, and less energy. CONCLUSIONS Iso↓DLco is associated with worse respiratory symptom scores, and this association becomes stronger with worsening DLco, suggesting that impaired gas exchange alone has a significant negative impact on the quality of life in PWH. Additional studies are ongoing to understand the etiology of this finding and design appropriate interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW As people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, PLWH) age, aging-related comorbidities have come into focus as major challenges to their overall health. In this review, an in-depth overview of the two most commonly encountered chronic lung diseases in PLWH, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer, is provided. RECENT FINDINGS The risk for both COPD and lung cancer remains significantly higher in PLWH compared to the HIV-uninfected population, although fortunately rates of lung cancer appear to be declining over the last two decades. Outcomes for PLWH with these conditions, though, continue to be poor with worse survival rates in comparison to the general population. PLWH still face major barriers in accessing care for these conditions, including a higher likelihood of being underdiagnosed with COPD and a lower likelihood of being referred for lung cancer screening or treatment. A lack of evidence for optimal treatment strategies for both COPD and lung cancer still hampers the care of PLWH with these conditions. SUMMARY COPD and lung cancer represent substantial burdens of disease in PLWH. Improved access to standard-of-care screening and treatment and greater investigation into therapeutic responses specifically in this population are recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE We examined the associations between pulmonary impairments and physical function and whether age, HIV serostatus, or smoking modified these relationships. METHODS Using Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study data, we examined associations between pulmonary function (diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide [DLCO], one-second forced expiratory volume [FEV1]) and subsequent physical outcomes (gait speed, grip strength, frailty [non-frail, pre-frail, frail]) using mixed models. RESULTS Of 1,048 men, 55% were living with HIV, median age was 57(IQR=48,64) and median cumulative pack-years was 1.2(IQR = 0,18.1); 33% and 13% had impaired DLCO and FEV1(<80% predicted), respectively. Participants with impaired DLCO had 3.5 kg (95%CI: -4.6, -2.4) weaker grip strength, 0.04 m/sec (95%CI: -0.06, -0.02) slower gait speed and 4.44-fold (95%CI: 1.81, 10.93) greater odds of frailty compared to participants with normal DLCO. Participants with impaired FEV1 had 3.1 kg (95%CI: -4.8, -1.4) weaker grip strength, similar gait speed (-0.001 m/sec [95%CI: -0.04, 0.03]) and 5.72-fold (95%CI: 1.90, 17.19) greater odds of frailty compared to participants with normal FEV1. Age, but not smoking or HIV, significantly modified the DLCO effect on gait speed and grip strength. CONCLUSIONS Pulmonary impairment and decreased physical function were associated. Preserving pulmonary function may help preserve physical function in aging men with and without HIV.

Abstract
Rationale: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with chronic lung disease and impaired pulmonary function; however, longitudinal pulmonary function phenotypes in HIV are undefined. Objectives: To identify pulmonary function trajectories, their determinants, and outcomes. Methods: We used data from participants with HIV in the Pittsburgh HIV Lung Cohort with three or more pulmonary function tests between 2007 and 2020. We analyzed post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC, and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DlCO) using group-based trajectory modeling to identify subgroups of individuals whose measurements followed a similar pattern over time. We examined the association between participant characteristics and trajectories using multivariable logistic regression. In exploratory adjusted analyses restricted to individuals with available plasma cytokine data, we investigated the association between 18 individual standardized cytokine concentrations and trajectories. We compared mortality, dyspnea prevalence, respiratory health status, and 6-minute-walk distance between phenotypes. Results: A total of 265 participants contributed 1,606 pulmonary function measurements over a median follow-up of 8.1 years. We identified two trajectories each for FEV1 and FVC: "low baseline, slow decline" and "high baseline, rapid decline." There were three trajectory groups for FEV1/FVC: "rapid decline," "moderate decline," and "slow decline." Finally, we identified two trajectories for DlCO: "baseline low" and "baseline high." The low baseline, slow decline FEV1 and FVC, rapid decline, and moderate decline FEV1/FVC, and baseline low DlCO phenotypes were associated with increased dyspnea prevalence, worse respiratory health status, and decreased 6-minute-walk distance. The baseline low DlCO phenotype was also associated with worse mortality. Current smoking and pack-years of smoking were associated with the adverse FEV1, FEV1/FVC, and DlCO phenotypes. Detectable viremia was the only HIV marker associated with the adverse DlCO phenotype. C-reactive protein and endothelin-1 were associated with the adverse FEV1 and FVC phenotypes, and endothelin-1 trended toward an association with the adverse DlCO phenotype. Conclusions: We identified novel, distinct longitudinal pulmonary function phenotypes with significant differences in characteristics and outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of lung dysfunction over time in people with HIV and should be validated in additional cohorts.

Abstract
People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms than people without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Antiretroviral therapy has been associated with worsened airflow limitation. This cross-sectional study assessed respiratory health impairment among PLWH and its association with protease inhibitor use using data from Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study visits between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018. Participants completed the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale, spirometry, and diffusion capacity measurement. Visit data were compared among PI users, non-PI users, and men without HIV. Binary and ordinal logistic models were used to determine the associations between HIV status, PI use, and covariates with primary outcomes of dichotomized SGRQ and mMRC dyspnea scores. Of PI users, 57/177 (32.2%) self-reported pulmonary disease compared with 132/501 (26.4%) of non-PI users and 105/547 (19.2%) men without HIV. Of PI users, 77/177 (45.3%) had SGRQ scores ≥10, while 171/501 (34.7%) of non-PI users and 162/549 (29.9%) of people living without HIV had SGRQ scores ≥10 (p = .001). Adjusted models found an association between PI use and SGRQ score ≥10 [odds ratio (OR) 1.91 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.29-2.82), ref: HIV negative and OR 1.50 (95% CI 1.01-2.22) ref: non-PI users]. A similar association was found with mMRC scores and PI use [OR 1.79 (95% CI 1.21-2.64), ref: HIV negative and OR 1.53 (95% CI 1.04-2.25), ref: non-PI users]. PI use is associated with worse respiratory health status, increased dyspnea, and an increased prevalence of self-reported pulmonary disease.

Abstract
Background Studies have associated HIV with an increased risk of obstructive lung disease (OLD). Objectives We aimed to identify the predictive factors for impaired lung function in an urban, African, HIV-positive population. Method A cross-sectional study was performed in Johannesburg, South Africa, from July 2016 to November 2017. A questionnaire was administered and pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry conducted. The predictors investigated included age, sex, antiretroviral treatment (ART) duration, body mass index, history of tuberculosis (TB) or pneumonia, occupational exposure, environmental exposure, smoking and symptoms of OLD (cough, wheeze, mucus and dyspnoea). Impaired lung function was defined as a forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ratio of < 0.70, or below the 20th percentile of normal. Results The 98 ART-naïve participants (mean age = 34.0, standard deviation [s.d.] = 8.2), 85 participants on first-line ART (mean age = 36.9, s.d. = 6.6) and 189 participants on second-line ART (mean age = 43.5, s.d. = 7.9) were predominantly female (65.6%). Of the participants, 64 (17.2%) had impaired lung function and 308 had normal lung function. Linear regression identified age (β = –0.003, P < 0.01), male sex (β = –0.016, P = 0.03) and history of TB or pneumonia (β = –0.024, P < 0.01) as independent predictors of a lower FEV1/FVC ratio. Following logistic regression, only a history of TB or pneumonia (odds ratio = 2.58, 95% confidence interval = 1.47–4.52) was significantly related to impaired lung function (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.64). Conclusion Our data show that a history of TB or pneumonia predicts impaired lung function. In order to improve timely access to spirometry, clinicians should be alert to the possibility of impaired lung function in people with a history of TB or pneumonia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE People with HIV (PWH) experience increased prevalence of obstructive lung disease (OLD), regardless of greater observed smoking behaviors. We investigated whether the effect of incident OLD on mortality differed by HIV and HIV viral suppression among persons who inject drugs (PWID) and report smoking history. DESIGN ALIVE is a longitudinal, observational cohort study of HIV-positive and seronegative PWID. This analysis included participants who had at least one spirometry measure to assess OLD between 2007 and 2016, excluding those who never smoked (5%, n = 62) or had baseline OLD (17%, n = 269). METHODS Incident OLD occurred when the first prebronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) less than 0.70 during follow-up. The effect of incident OLD on all-cause mortality was estimated in PWH and seronegative participants using inverse-probability-of-treatment-weighted marginal structural models controlling for baseline (age, race, sex, calendar year, smoking pack-years) and time-varying (smoking intensity, viral suppression, and calendar time) confounders. RESULTS Among 1204 participants, 269 (22.3%) and 157 (13.0%) experienced incident OLD and death, respectively, over a median of five person-years of follow-up. There was no effect of OLD on mortality among seronegative participants [hazard ratio = 0.84, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.47-1.48]; however, PWH diagnosed with OLD experienced an increased mortality risk (hazard ratio = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.04-2.80) during follow-up. HIV viral suppression did not confound or modify the effect of OLD on mortality among PWH. CONCLUSION There was an apparent effect of OLD on all-cause mortality irrespective of viral suppression among PWH but not among seronegative persons, after accounting for baseline and time-varying confounders. These results highlight the need for enhanced screening and management of OLD among PWH.

Abstract
Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is more prevalent in people with HIV (PWH) than in the general population and leads to an increased burden of morbidity and mortality in this population. The mechanisms behind COPD development and progression in PWH are not fully elucidated, and there are no PWH-specific guidelines for COPD management. Areas covered: The goal of this broad narrative review is to review the epidemiology of COPD in PWH globally, highlight proposed pathways contributing to increased COPD prevalence and progression in PWH, discuss structural and functional changes in the lungs in this population, assesses the excess mortality and comorbidities in PWH with COPD, and address management practices for this unique population. Expert opinion: Understanding how a chronic viral infection leads to COPD, independent of cigarette smoking, is of critical scientific importance. Further research should focus on the pathophysiology of the interaction between HIV and COPD, and determine the role of disease-modifying risk factors such as opportunistic pneumonia and air pollution, as well as generate data from randomized clinical trials on the safety and efficacy of specific therapies for this vulnerable patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Initial studies suggest HIV-positive persons may be at increased risk for chronic lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but have commonly relied on single-center designs, lacked HIV-negative controls, or assessed lung function with only spirometry. We tested differences in spirometry and single-breath diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) in persons with and without HIV. DESIGN Cross-sectional, observational study. METHODS Participants were enrolled from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, a longitudinal cohort study of men who have sex with men (both HIV-positive and HIV-negative) at four sites in the United States. Standardized spirometry and DLCO testing were performed in all eligible, consenting participants at routine study visits. We tested associations between HIV status and spirometry and DLCO results, using linear and logistic regression. RESULTS Among 1067 men, median age was 57 years, prevalence of current marijuana (30%), and cigarette (24%) use was high, and another 45% were former cigarette smokers. Median forced expiratory volume in 1 s was 97% of predicted normal and DLCO was 85% of predicted normal. HIV-positive persons demonstrated no statistical difference in forced expiratory volume in 1 s compared with HIV-negative persons, but had worse DLCO (adjusted difference -2.6% of predicted; 95% confidence interval: -4.7 to -0.6%) and a higher risk of DLCO impairment (odds ratio for DLCO < 60% of predicted 2.97; 95% confidence interval: 1.36-6.47). Lower DLCO was associated with lower nadir CD4 cell counts. CONCLUSION HIV-positive men are at increased risk of abnormal gas exchange, indicated by low DLCO, compared with men without HIV.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In the antiretroviral therapy era, people living with HIV (PLWH) are surviving to older ages. Chronic illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) occur more frequently. COPD is often described as a single entity, yet multiple manifestations may be considered phenotypes. HIV is an independent risk factor for certain COPD phenotypes, and mechanisms underlying pathogenesis of these phenotypes may differ and impact response to therapy. RECENT FINDINGS Impaired diffusing capacity, airflow obstruction, and radiographic emphysema occur in PLWH and are associated with increased mortality. Age, sex, tobacco, and HIV-specific factors likely modulate the severity of disease. An altered lung microbiome and residual HIV in the lung may also influence phenotypes. COPD is prevalent in PLWH with multiple phenotypes contributing to the burden of disease. HIV-specific factors and the respiratory microbiome influence disease pathogenesis. As tobacco use remains a significant risk factor for COPD, smoking cessation must be emphasized for all PLWH.

Inflammatory mediators and lung abnormalities in HIV: A systematic review. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0226347.

Abstract
HIV and pneumonia infections have both been shown to negatively impact lung function. However, evidence of the role of inflammation on lung dysfunction in HIV and pneumonia co-infected individuals remains limited. We aimed to systematically review the association of inflammatory markers and lung abnormalities in HIV and pneumonia co-infected individuals. This systematic review was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews on August 15, 2017 (registration number CRD42017069254) and used 4 databases (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed Central, Clinical Trials.gov and Google Scholar). All clinical trial, observational, and comparative studies targeting adult (> 18 years old) populations with HIV, pneumonia, or both, that report on immune response (cytokine, chemokine, or biomarker), and lung abnormality as an outcome were eligible. Data selection, risk of bias and extraction were performed independently by 2 blinded reviewers. Due to heterogeneity among the articles, a qualitative synthesis was performed. Our search strategy identified 4454 articles of which, 7 met our inclusion criteria. All of the studies investigated the ability of circulating biomarkers to predict lung damage in HIV. None of the articles included patients with both HIV and pneumonia, nor pneumonia alone. Markers of inflammation (IL-6, TNF-α, CRP), innate defense (cathelicidin), monocyte and macrophage activation (sCD14, sCD163 and, IL-2sRα), endothelial dysfunction (ET-1) and general immune health (CD4/CD8 ratio) were associated with lung abnormalities in HIV. This review highlights the lack of available information regarding the impact of inflammatory mediators on lung function in HIV and pneumonia populations, therefore opportunities to prevent lung damage with available anti-inflammatory treatment or to investigate new ones still remain.
