Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA methylation may be a link between HIV, aging, and the increased risk of lung comorbidities. We investigated whether bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells of people living with HIV (PLWH) demonstrate epigenetic disruptions and advanced epigenetic aging. METHODS BAL cell DNA methylation from 25 PLWH and 16 HIV-uninfected individuals were tested for differential methylation of Alu and LINE-1 sites, markers of aging. We used a weighted gene correlation network analysis to identify HIV- and age-associated co-methylation networks. We tested the effect of HIV on DNA methylation using a robust linear model (false discovery rate < 0.10). RESULTS The BAL cells of PLWH were marked by global hypomethylation in both Alu and LINE-1 elements. Six co-methylated CpG networks were identified that were significantly associated with age; of these, the red module was significantly differentially methylated in PLWH and enriched pathways (e.g., Ras signaling and T-cell receptors). We identified 6428 CpG sites associated with HIV. CONCLUSIONS We have shown here for the first time that alterations in the DNA methylation of BAL cells in the lung with HIV show a pattern of advanced aging. This study strongly supports that HIV may contribute to an increased the risk of lung comorbidities through the epigenetics of aging.

Abstract
Background Obstructive lung disease (OLD) is increasingly prevalent among persons living with HIV (PLWH). However, the role of proteases in HIV-associated OLD remains unclear. Methods We combined proteomics and peptidomics to comprehensively characterize protease activities. We combined mass spectrometry (MS) analysis on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) peptides and proteins from PLWH with OLD (n=25) and without OLD (n=26) with a targeted Somascan aptamer-based proteomic approach to quantify individual proteases and assess their correlation with lung function. Endogenous peptidomics mapped peptides to native proteins to identify substrates of protease activity. Using the MEROPS database, we identified candidate proteases linked to peptide generation based on binding site affinities which were assessed via z-scores. We used t-tests to compare average forced expiratory volume in 1 second per predicted value (FEV1pp) between samples with and without detection of each cleaved protein and adjusted for multiple comparisons by controlling the false discovery rate (FDR). Findings We identified 101 proteases, of which 95 had functional network associations and 22 correlated with FEV1pp. These included cathepsins, metalloproteinases (MMP), caspases and neutrophil elastase. We discovered 31 proteins subject to proteolytic cleavage that associate with FEV1pp, with the top pathways involved in small ubiquitin-like modifier mediated modification (SUMOylation). Proteases linked to protein cleavage included neutrophil elastase, granzyme, and cathepsin D. Interpretations In HIV-associated OLD, a significant number of proteases are up-regulated, many of which are involved in protein degradation. These proteases degrade proteins involved in cell cycle and protein stability, thereby disrupting critical biological functions.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death for people living with HIV (PLWH). We hypothesized that altered functions of innate immune components in the human alveolar lining fluid of PLWH (HIV-ALF) drive susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection. Our results indicate a significant increase in oxidation of innate proteins and chemokine levels and significantly lower levels and function of complement components and Th1/Th2/Th17 cytokines in HIV-ALF versus control-ALF (non-HIV-infected people). We further found a deficiency of surfactant protein D (SP-D) and reduced binding of SP-D to M.tb that had been exposed to HIV-ALF. Primary human macrophages infected with M.tb exposed to HIV-ALF were significantly less capable of controlling the infection, which was reversed by SP-D replenishment in HIV-ALF. Thus, based on the limited number of participants in this study, our data suggest that PLWH without antiretroviral therapy (ART) have declining host innate defense function in their lung mucosa, thereby favoring M.tb and potentially other pulmonary infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a known complication of HIV infection. Outcomes of HIV-infected patients with PH (HIV-PH) have not been well established. We aim to assess various in-hospital outcomes such as mortality, resource utilization, and health care burden associated with HIV patients with concurrent PH. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used National Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2015 Quarter 4 through 2019 for this study. We identified patients using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) diagnostic codes with both HIV and pulmonary hypertension. Cohorts were weighted by NIS-provided algorithm which allows for national estimates. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to determine odds ratios. RESULTS A total of 910,120 patients were identified with HIV, among which 28,175 (3.19%) were identified to have concurrent PH. When compared to HIV alone, HIV-PH patients were older (54.53(±11.61) vs. 49.44(±13.11), predominantly black (64.45% vs. 51.8%%), more often male (57.2%), all p < 0.001. HIV-PH cohort had higher comorbidities with higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (7.07(±3.53) vs. 5.17(±3.65), had slightly longer LOS [adjusted mean difference (aMD) 0.79], higher healthcare burden corrected for inflation (aMD $17,065); all p < 0.001. In univariate regression analysis, patients with HIV-PH had significantly higher rates of developing heart failure (aOR 10.44), cardiogenic shock (aOR 5.67), cardiomyopathy (aOR 4.97), in-hospital cardiac arrest (aOR 1.94), respiratory failure (aOR 3.29), invasive mechanical ventilation (aOR 1.71), aspiration pneumonia (aOR 1.29), acute kidney injury (aOR 2.14). Lastly, patients with HIV-PH had higher in-hospital mortality within 30 days of admission (aOR 1.28) & overall in-hospital mortality (aOR 1.23); p < 0.005). CONCLUSION In patients with concomitant HIV and PH, there is a higher burden of comorbidities, and is associated with worse outcomes including mortality. Through this study, we highlight outcomes that will better risk stratifying patients with concurrent HIV and PH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With increasing life expectancy, patients with HIV are more commonly acquiring other chronic diseases, such as end-stage lung disease, for which transplant may be the only effective solution. Until recently, HIV infection was considered a contraindication to lung transplant (LTx). As LTx in people living with HIV (PLWH) becomes more common, there remain limited data on outcomes in this population. METHODS Using the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Standard Transplant Analysis and Research file, we identified LTx recipients with HIV by either serostatus or nucleic acid testing. A control group of confirmed HIV-negative LTx recipients was propensity score matched on age, body mass index, primary diagnosis, and year of transplant. Patient characteristics, transplant parameters, survival, and postoperative outcomes were compared. RESULTS Fifty-nine LTx recipients with HIV were identified and compared with 236 HIV-negative controls. Among PLWH, cytomegalovirus status was more frequently positive (76.3% versus 58.9%, P = 0.014), and the median Lung Allocation Score at match was higher (44 versus 39, P = 0.004). PLWH were more likely to undergo dialysis postoperatively (18.6% versus 8.9%, P = 0.033), although other complication rates were similar. Fifty-three percent of LTx for PLWH occurred since 2020. One-year survival for PLWH was 91.2% versus 88.6% for controls ( P = 0.620). Three-year survival for a smaller subset was also not statistically significant (HIV versus control: 82.6% versus 77.8%, respectively, P = 0.687). CONCLUSIONS There was no difference in 1-y survival for LTx recipients living with HIV compared with a matched control group, supporting this group of patients as viable candidates for LTx.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HIV can infect bronchial epithelial cells rendering individuals susceptible to lung damage. Our objective was to determine the effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on pulmonary function tests. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis after conducting a literature search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Virtual Health Library databases from inception to December 31st, 2022. We employed the inverse variance method with a random effects model to calculate the effect estimate as the mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). We calculated the heterogeneity with the I2 statistic and performed a meta-regression analysis by age, sex, smoking, CD4 T-cells count and antiretroviral therapy. We also conducted a sensitivity analysis according to the studies' publication date, and excluding the study with the greatest weight in the effect. The PROSPERO registry number was CRD42023401105. RESULTS The meta-analysis included 20 studies, with 7621 living with HIV and 7410 control participants. The pooled MD (95%CI) for the predicted percentage of FEV1, FVC and DLCO were -3.12 (-5.17, -1.06); p=0.003, -1.51 (-3.04, 0.02); p=0.05, and -5.26 (-6.64, -3.87); p<0.001, respectively. The pooled MD for FEV1/FVC was -0.01 (-0.02, -0.01); p=0.002. In all cases, there was a considerable heterogeneity. The meta-regression analysis showed that among studies heterogeneity was not explained by patient age, smoking, CD4 T-cells count or antiretroviral therapy. CONCLUSION Pulmonary function tests are impaired in people living with HIV, independently of age, smoking, CD4 T-cells count, and geographical region.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is known to cause cellular senescence and inflammation among infected individuals. While the traditional antiretroviral therapies (ART) have allowed the once fatal infection to be managed effectively, the quality of life of HIV patients on prolonged ART use is still inferior. Most of these individuals suffer from life-threatening comorbidities like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and diabetes, to name a few. Interestingly, cellular senescence is known to play a critical role in the pathophysiology of these comorbidities as well. It is therefore important to understand the role of cellular senescence in the disease progression and co-morbidity development in HIV-infected individuals. In this respect, use of senolytic/senomorphic drugs as combination therapy with ART would be beneficial for HIV patients. This review provides a critical analysis of the current literature to determine the potential and efficacy of using senolytics/senotherapeutics in managing HIV infection, latency, and associated co-morbidities in humans. The various classes of senolytics have been studied in detail to focus on their potential to combat against HIV infections and associated pathologies with advancing age.

Abstract
The epidemiology of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-associated pneumocystosis (HAP) is poorly described on a worldwide scale. We searched related databases between January 2000 and December 2022 for studies reporting HAP. Meta-analysis was performed using StatsDirect (version 2.7.9) and STATA (version 17) according to the random-effects model for DerSimonian and Laird method and metan and metaprop commands, respectively. Twenty-nine studies with 38554 HIV-positive, 79893 HIV-negative, and 4044 HAP populations were included. The pooled prevalence of HAP was 35.4% (95% CI 23.8 to 47.9). In contrast, the pooled prevalence of PCP among HIV-negative patients was 10.16% (95% CI 2 to 25.3). HIV-positive patients are almost 12 times more susceptible to PCP than the HIV-negative population (OR: 11.710; 95% CI: 5.420 to 25.297). The mortality among HAP patients was 52% higher than non-PCP patients (OR 1.522; 95% CI 0.959 to 2.416). HIV-positive men had a 7% higher chance rate for PCP than women (OR 1.073; 95% CI 0.674 to 1.706). Prophylactic (OR: 6.191; 95% CI: 0.945 to 40.545) and antiretroviral therapy (OR 3.356; 95% CI 0.785 to 14.349) were used in HAP patients six and three times more than HIV-positive PCP-negatives, respectively. The control and management strategies should revise and updated by health policy-makers on a worldwide scale. Finally, for better management and understanding of the epidemiology and characteristics of this coinfection, designing further studies is recommended.

Abstract
Background Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), defined as a normal ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (≥0.70) with low FEV1 (<80% predicted), has been associated with increased mortality in the general population. Female sex has been associated with increased odds of PRISm in people without HIV. People with HIV (PWH) are at increased risk for lung function abnormalities, but whether HIV modifies the effect of sex on PRISm development is largely unknown. Methods Adults with and without HIV underwent baseline followed by serial spirometry after completing therapy for pneumonia, predominantly tuberculosis (TB), in Kampala, Uganda. Using generalized estimating equations adjusted for age, body mass index, smoking, biomass fuel exposure, HIV, and TB status, we compared individuals with PRISm with those with normal spirometry. These models were stratified by HIV status. Results Of 339 baseline participants, 153 (45%) were women; 129 (38%) had HIV, of whom 53% were women. Overall, 105/339 participants (31%) had PRISm at baseline. HIV was associated with lower odds of PRISm (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.38; 95% CI, 0.21-0.68; P = .001). Female sex trended toward increased odds of PRISm among all participants (aOR, 1.65; 95% CI, 0.99-2.75; P = .052). The association between female sex and PRISm tended to be stronger among PWH (aOR, 3.16; 95% CI, 1.14-8.76; P = .03) than among those without HIV (aOR, 1.34; 95% CI, 0.73-2.45; P = .34); this study was underpowered to detect an HIV-sex interaction of this magnitude (P = .30). Conclusions Among Ugandan adults who recovered from pneumonia, female sex was associated with increased odds and HIV with decreased odds of PRISm, suggesting independent sex and HIV effects on PRISm pathogenesis.

Does the Recovery of Respiratory Viruses Impact Pulmonary Function at Baseline and 1-, 6-, and 12-Month Follow-Up in People Living with HIV and Pneumonia? Viruses 2024; 16:344. [PMID: 38543710 PMCID: PMC10974101 DOI: 10.3390/v16030344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The frequency of respiratory viruses in people living with HIV (PLHIV) and their impact on lung function remain unclear. We aimed to determine the frequency of respiratory viruses in bronchoalveolar lavage and induced sputum samples in PLHIV and correlate their presence with lung function. A prospective cohort of adults hospitalized in Medellín between September 2016 and December 2018 included three groups: group 1 = people diagnosed with HIV and a diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), group 2 = HIV, and group 3 = CAP. People were followed up with at months 1, 6, and 12. Clinical, microbiological, and spirometric data were collected. Respiratory viruses were detected by multiplex RT-PCR. Sixty-five patients were included. At least 1 respiratory virus was identified in 51.9%, 45.1%, and 57.1% of groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Among these, 89% of respiratory viruses were detected with another pathogen, mainly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (40.7%) and Pneumocystis jirovecii (22.2%). The most frequent respiratory virus was rhinovirus (24/65, 37%). On admission, 30.4% of group 1, 16.6% of group 2, and 50% of group 3 had airflow limitation, with alteration in forced expiratory volume at first second in both groups with pneumonia compared to HIV. Respiratory viruses are frequent in people diagnosed with HIV, generally coexisting with other pathogens. Pulmonary function on admission was affected in patients with pneumonia, improving significantly in the 1st, 6th, and 12th months after CAP onset.

Abstract
Background The incidence of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is increasing. Methods 108 patients were analysed retrospectively at the Wuhan Union Hospital. The patients were classified into the PJP group or the P. jirovecii colonisation (PJC) group based on clinical diagnosis. Clinical data included demographics, laboratory examinations, treatment, and outcomes. Results A notable difference in the fungal load was seen between two groups, with median reads of 3215.79 vs. 5.61 in two groups, respectively (P<0.001). The optimal threshold value for discriminating P. jirovecii infection between colonisation for mNGS was six, and serum (1,3)-β-D-glucan (BDG) was 47.6 pg/mL. Besides, the positive detection rate of mNGS for co-pathogens in PJP patients was significantly higher than that of culture (88.16% vs. 22.37%, P<0.0001). Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus were the most common pathogens of co-infection in PJP patients. The antibiotic therapy in PJP patients was adjusted according to the mNGS results, of which seventeen (22.37%) were downgraded, 38 (50.0%) patients were upgraded, and 21 (27.63%) were unchanged. And almost all patients showed significant improvement in C-reactive protein. Conclusion mNGS is a promising and valuable technique with good performance for differentiating P. jirovecii infection and colonisation, the detection of pathogens, and antibiotic treatment.

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.

Abstract
People with HIV remain at greater risk for both infectious and non-infectious pulmonary diseases even after antiretroviral therapy initiation and CD4 cell count recovery. These clinical risks reflect persistent HIV-mediated defects in innate and adaptive immunity, including in the alveolar macrophage, a key innate immune effector in the lungs. In this proof-of-concept pilot study, we leveraged paired RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analyses of human alveolar macrophages obtained with research bronchoscopy from people with and without HIV to highlight the potential for recent methodologic advances to generate novel hypotheses about biological pathways that may contribute to impaired pulmonary immune function in people with HIV. In addition to 35 genes that were differentially expressed in macrophages from people with HIV, gene set enrichment analysis identified six gene sets that were differentially regulated. ATAC-seq analysis revealed 115 genes that were differentially accessible for people with HIV. Data-driven integration of the findings from these complementary, high-throughput techniques using xMWAS identified distinct clusters involving lipoprotein lipase and inflammatory pathways. By bringing together transcriptional and epigenetic data, this analytic approach points to several mechanisms, including previously unreported pathways, that warrant further exploration as potential mediators of the increased risk of pulmonary disease in people with HIV.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common comorbid diseases among aging people with HIV (PWH) and is often mismanaged. To address this gap, we are conducting the study, "Advancing care for COPD in people living with HIV by Implementing Evidence-based management through proactive E-consults (ACHIEVE)." This intervention optimizes COPD management by promoting effective, evidence-based care and de-implementing inappropriate therapies for COPD in PWH receiving care at Veteran Affairs (VA) medical centers. Study pulmonologists are proactively supporting ID providers managing a population of PWH who have COPD, offering real-time evidence-based recommendations tailored to each patient. We are leveraging VA clinical and informatics infrastructures to communicate recommendations between the study team and clinical providers through the electronic health record (EHR) as an E-consult. If effective, ACHIEVE could serve as a model of effective, efficient COPD management among PWH receiving care in VA. This paper outlines the rationale and methodology of the ACHIEVE trial, one of a series of studies funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) within the ImPlementation REsearCh to DEvelop Interventions for People Living with HIV (PRECluDE) consortium to study chronic disease comorbidities in HIV populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Microbial infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among people living with HIV (PLWH). Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are responsible for approximately 70% of illnesses among PLWH. Drug resistant bacteria are highly prevalent among PLWH and this is a public health concern. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of data collected during the COSTOP trial between 2011 and 2013. Sputum collected on spot from participants presenting with a productive cough was examined using Gram, Ziehl-Neelsen stains and cultured on suitable bacteriological media. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing was done on isolated pathogens, by disc diffusion technique. RESULTS We included 687 participants with mean age 41.3 (SD 8.2) years of whom 76.4% were female. Two hundred one sputum samples grew bacteria; Moraxella species (27.4%), Streptococcus pneumoniae(25.4%), Haemophilus influenza(22.4%), Mycobacterium species(4.5%), Pseudomonas species(4.0%), Staphylococcus aureus(4.0%), Escherichia coli (1.0%), Klebsiella species (1.0%), other bacteria (10.4%). A higher monthly income greater than or equal to 30$ (aOR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.40-0.99) and longer duration since HIV diagnosis (aOR = 1.06, 95%CI: 1.0-1.11) were found to be independently associated with a positive bacterial culture. Moraxella sp, H. influenza and Pseudomonas had zero sensitivity towards cotrimoxazole. Sensitivity to erythromycin was low among Moraxella sp (28.6%), H. influenza (31.6%) and S. aureus(42.9%) and other bacteria (42.9%). Most isolates were sensitive to Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid and ceftriaxone. CONCLUSION There is a very low sensitivity of isolated bacteria to commonly prescribed antibiotics that are more available through the national supply chain, which is of public health concern. Urgent steps to tackle the high antimicrobial resistance among PLWH is required.

Abstract
Lung disease encompasses acute, infectious processes and chronic, non-infectious processes such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and lung cancer. People living with HIV are at increased risk of both acute and chronic lung diseases. Although the use of effective antiretroviral therapy has diminished the burden of infectious lung disease, people living with HIV experience growing morbidity and mortality from chronic lung diseases. A key risk factor for HIV-associated lung disease is cigarette smoking, which is more prevalent in people living with HIV than in uninfected people. Other risk factors include older age, history of bacterial pneumonia, Pneumocystis pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis and immunosuppression. Mechanistic investigations support roles for aberrant innate and adaptive immunity, local and systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, altered lung and gut microbiota, and environmental exposures such as biomass fuel burning in the development of HIV-associated lung disease. Assessment, prevention and treatment strategies are largely extrapolated from data from HIV-uninfected people. Smoking cessation is essential. Data on the long-term consequences of HIV-associated lung disease are limited. Efforts to continue quantifying the effects of HIV infection on the lung, especially in low-income and middle-income countries, are essential to advance our knowledge and optimize respiratory care in people living with HIV.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, with the advent and adoption of highly active anti-retroviral therapy, HIV-1 infection, a once fatal and acute illness, has transformed into a chronic disease with people living with HIV (PWH) experiencing increased rates of cardio-pulmonary vascular diseases including life-threatening pulmonary hypertension. Moreover, the chronic consequences of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use are increasingly seen in older PWH. Drug use, specifically, can have pathologic effects on the cardiovascular health of these individuals. The "double hit" of drug use and HIV may increase the risk of HIV-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (HIV-PAH) and potentiate right heart failure in this population. This article explores the epidemiology and pathophysiology of PAH associated with HIV and recreational drug use and describes the proposed mechanisms by which HIV and drug use, together, can cause pulmonary vascular remodeling and cardiopulmonary hemodynamic compromise. In addition to detailing the proposed cellular and signaling pathways involved in the development of PAH, this article proposes areas ripe for future research, including the influence of gut dysbiosis and cellular senescence on the pathobiology of HIV-PAH. © 2023 American Physiological Society.

Microbial dysbiosis and the host airway epithelial response: insights into HIV-associated COPD using multi'omics profiling. Respir Res 2023; 24:124. [PMID: 37143066 PMCID: PMC10161506 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-023-02431-4] [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: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND People living with HIV (PLWH) are at increased risk of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) independent of cigarette smoking. We hypothesized that dysbiosis in PLWH is associated with epigenetic and transcriptomic disruptions in the airway epithelium. METHODS Airway epithelial brushings were collected from 18 COPD + HIV + , 16 COPD - HIV + , 22 COPD + HIV - and 20 COPD - HIV - subjects. The microbiome, methylome, and transcriptome were profiled using 16S sequencing, Illumina Infinium Methylation EPIC chip, and RNA sequencing, respectively. Multi 'omic integration was performed using Data Integration Analysis for Biomarker discovery using Latent cOmponents. A correlation > 0.7 was used to identify key interactions between the 'omes. RESULTS The COPD + HIV -, COPD -HIV + , and COPD + HIV + groups had reduced Shannon Diversity (p = 0.004, p = 0.023, and p = 5.5e-06, respectively) compared to individuals with neither COPD nor HIV, with the COPD + HIV + group demonstrating the most reduced diversity. Microbial communities were significantly different between the four groups (p = 0.001). Multi 'omic integration identified correlations between Bacteroidetes Prevotella, genes FUZ, FASTKD3, and ACVR1B, and epigenetic features CpG-FUZ and CpG-PHLDB3. CONCLUSION PLWH with COPD manifest decreased diversity and altered microbial communities in their airway epithelial microbiome. The reduction in Prevotella in this group was linked with epigenetic and transcriptomic disruptions in host genes including FUZ, FASTKD3, and ACVR1B.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease in people with HIV (PWH) is incompletely understood. We determined whether COPD is associated with risk of myocardial infarction (MI) among PWH, and if this differs for type 1 (T1MI) and type 2 (T2MI). DESIGN We utilized data from five sites in the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) cohort, a multisite observational study. METHODS Our primary outcome was an adjudicated MI, classified as T1MI or T2MI. We defined COPD based on a validated algorithm requiring COPD diagnosis codes and at least 90-day continuous supply of inhalers. We conducted time-to-event analyses to first MI and used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to measure associations between COPD and MI. RESULTS Among 12 046 PWH, 945 had COPD. Overall, 309 PWH had an MI: 58% had T1MI ( N = 178) and 42% T2MI ( N = 131). In adjusted models, COPD was associated with a significantly increased risk of all MI [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 2.68 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.99-3.60)] even after including self-reported smoking [aHR 2.40 (95% CI 1.76-3.26)]. COPD was also associated with significantly increased risk of T1MI and T2MI individually, and with sepsis and non-sepsis causes of T2MI. Associations were generally minimally changed adjusting for substance use. CONCLUSION COPD is associated with a substantially increased risk for MI, including both T1MI and T2MI, among PWH. Given the association with both T1MI and T2MI, diverse mechanistic pathways are involved. Future strategies to decrease risk of T1MI and T2MI in PWH who have COPD are needed.

Abstract
With the advent of antiretroviral therapy, improved survival of people with HIV (PWH) is accompanied with increased prevalence of HIV-associated comorbidities. Chronic lung anomalies are recognized as one of the most devastating sequelae in PWH. The limited available data describing the lung complications in PWH with a history of opioid abuse warrants more research to better define the course of disease pathogenesis. The current study was conducted to investigate the progression of lung tissue remodeling in a morphine (Mor)-exposed rhesus macaque model of SIV infection. Pathologic features of lung remodeling, including histopathologic changes, oxidative stress, inflammation, and proliferation of fibroblasts, were investigated in archival lung tissues of SIVmac-251/macaque model with or without Mor dependence. Lungs of Mor-exposed, SIV-infected macaques exhibited significant fibrotic changes and collagen deposition in the alveolar and the bronchiolar region. There was increased oxidative stress, profibrotic transforming growth factor-β, fibroblast proliferation and trans-differentiation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and matrix degradation in SIV-infected macaques, which was further exacerbated in the lungs of Mor-exposed macaques. Interestingly, there was decreased inflammation-associated remodeling in Mor-dependent SIV-infected macaques compared with SIV-infected macaques that did not receive Mor. Thus, the current findings suggest that SIV independently induces fibrotic changes in macaque lungs, which is further aggravated by Mor.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite antiviral therapy (ART), 800,000 deaths still occur yearly and globally due to HIV infection. In parallel with the good virological control and the aging of this population, multiple comorbidities [HIV-associated-non-AIDS (HANA) conditions] may now be observed. METHODS HIV adult patients hospitalized in intensive care unit (ICU) from all the French region from university and non-university hospital who participate to the OutcomeRea™ database on a voluntary basis over a 24-year period. RESULTS Of the 24,298 stays registered, 630 (2.6%) were a first ICU stay for HIV patients. Over time, the mean age and number of comorbidities (diabetes, renal and respiratory history, solid neoplasia) of patients increased. The proportion of HIV diagnosed on ICU admission decreased significantly, while the median duration of HIV disease as well as the percentage of ART-treated patients increased. The distribution of main reasons for admission remained stable over time (acute respiratory distress > shock > coma). We observed a significant drop in the rate of active opportunistic infection on admission, while the rate of active hemopathy (newly diagnosed or relapsed within the last 6 months prior to admission to ICU) qualifying for AIDS increased-nonsignificantly-with a significant increase in the anticancer chemotherapy administration in ICU. Admissions for HANA or non-HIV reasons were stable over time. In multivariate analysis, predictors of 60-day mortality were advanced age, chronic liver disease, past chemotherapy, sepsis-related organ failure assessment score > 4 at admission, hospitalization duration before ICU admission > 24 h, AIDS status, but not the period of admission. CONCLUSION Whereas the profile of ICU-admitted HIV patients has evolved over time (HIV better controlled but more associated comorbidities), mortality risk factors remain stable, including AIDS status.

Abstract
Effective and consistent antiretroviral therapy has enabled people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PWH) to survive longer than previously encountered earlier in the epidemic. Consequently, PWH are subject to the struggles and clinical conditions typically associated with aging. However, the aging process in PWH is not the same as for those who do not have HIV. There is a complex interplay of molecular, microbiologic, and pharmacologic factors that leads to accelerated aging in PWH; this leads to increased risk for certain age-related comorbidities requiring greater vigilance and interventions in routine care.

Abstract
Purpose Obstructive lung disease is increasingly common among persons with HIV, both smokers and nonsmokers. We used aptamer proteomics to identify proteins and associated pathways in HIV-associated obstructive lung disease. Methods Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from 26 persons living with HIV with obstructive lung disease were matched to persons living with HIV without obstructive lung disease based on age, smoking status and antiretroviral treatment. 6414 proteins were measured using SomaScan® aptamer-based assay. We used sparse distance-weighted discrimination (sDWD) to test for a difference in protein expression and permutation tests to identify univariate associations between proteins and forced expiratory volume in 1 s % predicted (FEV1 % pred). Significant proteins were entered into a pathway over-representation analysis. We also constructed protein-driven endotypes using K-means clustering and performed over-representation analysis on the proteins that were significantly different between clusters. We compared protein-associated clusters to those obtained from BALF and plasma metabolomics data on the same patient cohort. Results After filtering, we retained 3872 proteins for further analysis. Based on sDWD, protein expression was able to separate cases and controls. We found 575 proteins that were significantly correlated with FEV1 % pred after multiple comparisons adjustment. We identified two protein-driven endotypes, one of which was associated with poor lung function, and found that insulin and apoptosis pathways were differentially represented. We found similar clusters driven by metabolomics in BALF but not plasma. Conclusion Protein expression differs in persons living with HIV with and without obstructive lung disease. We were not able to identify specific pathways differentially expressed among patients based on FEV1 % pred; however, we identified a unique protein endotype associated with insulin and apoptotic pathways.

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
BACKGROUND Prior studies have found that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with impaired lung function and increased risk of chronic lung disease, but few have included large numbers of women. In this study, we investigate whether HIV infection is associated with differences in lung function in women. METHODS This was a cross-sectional analysis of participants in the Women's Interagency HIV Study, a racially and ethnically diverse multicenter cohort of women with and without HIV. In 2018-2019, participants at 9 clinical sites were invited to perform spirometry. Single-breath diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) was also measured at selected sites. The primary outcomes were the post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and DLCO. Multivariable regression modeling was used to analyze the association of HIV infection and lung function outcomes after adjustment for confounding exposures. RESULTS FEV1 measurements from 1489 women (1062 with HIV, 427 without HIV) and DLCO measurements from 671 women (463 with HIV, 208 without HIV) met standards for quality and reproducibility. There was no significant difference in FEV1 between women with and without HIV. Women with HIV had lower DLCO measurements (adjusted difference, -0.73 mL/min/mm Hg; 95% confidence interval, -1.33 to -.14). Among women with HIV, lower nadir CD4 + cell counts and hepatitis C virus infection were associated with lower DLCO measurements. CONCLUSIONS HIV was associated with impaired respiratory gas exchange in women. Among women with HIV, lower nadir CD4 + cell counts and hepatitis C infection were associated with decreased respiratory gas exchange.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with good CD4 T-cell counts make effective immune responses following vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). There are few data on longer term responses and the impact of a booster dose. METHODS Adults with HIV were enrolled into a single arm open label study. Two doses of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 were followed 12 months later by a third heterologous vaccine dose. Participants had undetectable viraemia on ART and CD4 counts >350 cells/µL. Immune responses to the ancestral strain and variants of concern were measured by anti-spike immunoglobulin G (IgG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), MesoScale Discovery (MSD) anti-spike platform, ACE-2 inhibition, activation induced marker (AIM) assay, and T-cell proliferation. FINDINGS In total, 54 participants received 2 doses of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19. 43 received a third dose (42 with BNT162b2; 1 with mRNA-1273) 1 year after the first dose. After the third dose, total anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG titers (MSD), ACE-2 inhibition, and IgG ELISA results were significantly higher compared to Day 182 titers (P < .0001 for all 3). SARS-CoV-2 specific CD4+ T-cell responses measured by AIM against SARS-CoV-2 S1 and S2 peptide pools were significantly increased after a third vaccine compared to 6 months after a first dose, with significant increases in proliferative CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 S1 and S2 after boosting. Responses to Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta variants were boosted, although to a lesser extent for Omicron. CONCLUSIONS In PWH receiving a third vaccine dose, there were significant increases in B- and T-cell immunity, including to known variants of concern (VOCs).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between HIV and asthma prevalence and manifestations remains unclear, with few studies including women. SETTING A retrospective observational cohort study from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study and Women's Interagency HIV Study. METHODS Asthma was defined in 2 ways: (1) self-report and (2) robust criteria requiring all the following: lack of fixed airflow obstruction, presence of wheeze on the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and report of asthma therapies. Estimates of asthma prevalence and asthma-related manifestations were compared by HIV serostatus. RESULTS A total of 1815 men and 2122 women were included. Asthma prevalence did not differ between people with HIV (PWH) and people without HIV regardless of definition: self-report (men, 12.0% vs. 11.2%; women, 24.3% vs. 27.5%) and robust criteria (men, 5.0% vs. 3.4%; women, 12.8% vs. 13.2%). Among men with asthma, worse respiratory symptom burden was reported among those with HIV, regardless of asthma definition. Among women with self-reported asthma, those with HIV had less respiratory symptom burden. Regardless of serostatus, women with robust-defined asthma had similar respiratory symptoms across SGRQ domains and similar frequencies of phlegm, shortness of breath, and wheezing. CONCLUSIONS Among PWH and people without HIV, asthma prevalence was 2-fold to 3-fold higher using self-reported definition rather than robust definition. In men and women, HIV was not associated with increased asthma prevalence. In men, HIV was associated with more respiratory symptoms when asthma was self-reported; the relationship was attenuated with the robust criteria. Further studies are needed to explore asthma phenotypes among PWH.

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
Highly effective combination antiretroviral therapy has reduced HIV infection to a manageable chronic disease, shifting the clinical landscape toward management of noninfectious comorbidities in people living with HIV (PLWH). These comorbidities are diverse, generally associated with accelerated aging, and present within multiple organ systems. Mechanistically, immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation, both of which persist in PLWH with well-controlled virally suppressive HIV infection, are suggested to create and exacerbate noninfectious comorbidity development. Persistent inflammation often leads to fibrosis, which is the common end point pathologic feature associated with most comorbidities. Fibrocytes are bone marrow-derived fibroblast-like cells, which emerged as key effector cells in tissue repair and pathologic fibrotic diseases. Despite their relevance to fibrosis, the circulating fibrocyte concentration in PLWH remains poorly characterized, and an understanding of their functional role in chronic HIV is limited. In this study, utilizing PBMCs from a cross-sectional adult HIV cohort study with matched uninfected controls (HIV-), we aimed to identify and compare circulating fibrocytes in blood. Both the percentage and number of fibrocytes and α-smooth muscle actin+ fibrocytes in circulation did not differ between the HIV+ and HIV- groups. However, circulating fibrocyte levels were significantly associated with increasing age in both the HIV+ and HIV- groups (the percentage and number; r = 0.575, p ≤ 0.0001 and r = 0.558, p ≤ 0.0001, respectively). Our study demonstrates that circulating fibrocyte levels and their fibroblast-like phenotype defined as collagen I and α-smooth muscle actin+ expression are comparable between, and strongly associated with, age irrespective of HIV status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HIV is a risk factor for obstructive lung disease (OLD), independent of smoking. We used mass spectrometry (MS) approaches to identify metabolomic biomarkers that inform mechanistic pathogenesis of OLD in persons with HIV (PWH). METHODS We obtained bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from 52 PWH, in case:control (+OLD/-OLD) pairs matched on age, smoking status, and antiretroviral treatment. Four hundred nine metabolites from 8 families were measured on BALF and plasma samples using a MS-based Biocrates platform. After filtering metabolites with a high proportion of missing values and values below the level of detection, we performed univariate testing using paired t tests followed by false discovery rate corrections. We used distance-weighted discrimination (DWD) to test for an overall difference in the metabolite profile between cases and controls. RESULTS After filtering, there were 252 BALF metabolites for analysis from 8 metabolite families. DWD testing found that collectively, BALF metabolites differentiated cases from controls, whereas plasma metabolites did not. In BALF samples, we identified 3 metabolites that correlated with OLD at the false discovery rate of 10%; all were in the phosphatidylcholine family. We identified additional BALF metabolites when analyzing lung function as a continuous variable, and these included acylcarnitines, triglycerides, and a cholesterol ester. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, BALF metabolites differentiate PWH with and without OLD. These included several BALF lipid metabolites. These findings were limited to BALF and were not found in plasma from the same individuals. Phosphatidylcholine, the most common lipid component of surfactant, was the predominant lipid metabolite differentially expressed.

Abstract
HIV and Schistosoma infections have been individually associated with pulmonary vascular disease. Co-infection with these pathogens is very common in tropical areas, with an estimate of six million people co-infected worldwide. However, the effects of HIV and Schistosoma co-exposure on the pulmonary vasculature and its impact on the development of pulmonary vascular disease are largely unknown. Here, we have approached these questions by using a non-infectious animal model based on lung embolization of Schistosoma mansoni eggs in HIV-1 transgenic (HIV) mice. Schistosome-exposed HIV mice but not wild-type (Wt) counterparts showed augmented pulmonary arterial pressure associated with markedly suppressed endothelial-dependent vasodilation, increased endothelial remodeling and vessel obliterations, formation of plexiform-like lesions and a higher degree of perivascular fibrosis. In contrast, medial wall muscularization was similarly increased in both types of mice. Moreover, HIV mice displayed an impaired immune response to parasite eggs in the lung, as suggested by decreased pulmonary leukocyte infiltration, small-sized granulomas, and augmented residual egg burden. Notably, vascular changes in co-exposed mice were associated with increased expression of proinflammatory and profibrotic cytokines, including IFN-γ and IL-17A in CD4+ and γδ T cells and IL-13 in myeloid cells. Collectively, our study shows for the first time that combined pulmonary persistence of HIV proteins and Schistosoma eggs, as it may occur in co-infected people, alters the cytokine landscape and targets the vascular endothelium for aggravated pulmonary vascular pathology. Furthermore, it provides an experimental model for the understanding of pulmonary vascular disease associated with HIV and Schistosoma co-morbidity.

Abstract
Rationale: Age-related diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) occur at higher rates in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) than in uninfected populations. Objectives: To identify whether accelerated aging can be observed in the airways of PLWH with COPD, manifest by a unique DNA methylation signature. Methods: Bronchial epithelial brushings from PLWH with and without COPD and HIV-uninfected adults with and without COPD (N = 76) were profiled for DNA methylation and gene expression. We evaluated global Alu and LINE-1 methylation and calculated the epigenetic age using the Horvath clock and the methylation telomere length estimator. To identify genome-wide differential DNA methylation and gene expression associated with HIV and COPD, robust linear models were used followed by an expression quantitative trait methylation (eQTM) analysis. Measurements and Main Results: Epigenetic age acceleration and shorter methylation estimates of telomere length were found in PLWH with COPD compared with PLWH without COPD and uninfected patients with and without COPD. Global hypomethylation was identified in PLWH. We identified 7,970 cytosine bases located next to a guanine base (CpG sites), 293 genes, and 9 expression quantitative trait methylation-gene pairs associated with the interaction between HIV and COPD. Actin binding LIM protein family member 3 (ABLIM3) was one of the novel candidate genes for HIV-associated COPD highlighted by our analysis. Conclusions: Methylation age acceleration is observed in the airway epithelium of PLWH with COPD, a process that may be responsible for the heightened risk of COPD in this population. Their distinct methylation profile, differing from that observed in patients with COPD alone, suggests a unique pathogenesis to HIV-associated COPD. The associations warrant further investigation to establish causality.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the relationship between measures of HIV persistence with antiretroviral therapy (ART) and cigarette smoking, systemic markers of inflammation, and pulmonary function. Retrospective study of 82 people with HIV (PWH) on ART for a median of 6.9 years (5.6-7.8) and plasma HIV RNA levels <50 copies/mL. HIV DNA and cell-associated HIV RNA (CA-RNA) were measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and plasma HIV RNA was measured by single-copy assay (SCA). Plasma levels of 17 inflammatory mediators were measured by Bio-Plex, and standard pulmonary function tests (PFT) were performed in all participants. Median age was 52 years and 41% were women. Most had preserved CD4+ T cell counts (median (IQR) 580 (361-895) cells/mm3). Median plasma HIV RNA was 1.3 (0.7-4.6) copies/mL, and median levels of HIV DNA and CA-RNA in PBMC were 346 (140-541) copies and 19 (3.7-49) copies per 1 million PBMC, respectively. HIV DNA was higher in smokers than in nonsmokers (R = 0.3, P < 0.05), and smoking pack-years positively correlated with HIV DNA and CA-RNA (R = 0.3, P < 0.05 and R = 0.4, P < 0.01, respectively). HIV DNA, CA-RNA, and plasma HIV RNA were not significantly associated with any measure of pulmonary function or inflammation. Cigarette smoking was associated with HIV DNA and CA-RNA levels in blood, but measures of HIV persistence were not associated with pulmonary function or inflammation.

Abstract
Background
The risk and characteristics of upper respiratory tract (URT) bacterial infections (URT-BI) among HIV (+) patients is understudied. We analyzed factors associated with its occurrence and the spectrum of culturable pathogens among patients routinely followed at the HIV Out-Patient Clinic in Warsaw.
Methods
All HIV (+) patients with available URT swab culture were included into analyses. Patients were followed from the day of registration in the clinic until first positive URT swab culture or last clinical visit from January 1, 2007 to July 31, 2016. Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify factors associated with positive URT swabs culture (those with p<0.1 in univariate included into multivariable).
Results
In total 474 patients were included into the analyses, 166 with culturable URT swab. In general, 416 (87.8%) patients were male, 342 (72.1%) were infected through MSM contact, 253 (53.4%) were on antiretroviral therapy. Median follow-up time was 3.4 (1.3–5.7) years, age 35.2 (30.6–42.6) years and CD4+ count 528 (400–685) cells/μl. The most common cultured bacteria were S. aureus (40.4%) and S. pyogenes (13.9%) (Table 1). Patients with culturable URT-BI were more likely to be MSM (68.5% vs 78.9%; p<0.016), have detectable viral load (20.9% vs 12.0%; p<0.0001) and CD4+ cell count <500 cells/μl (55.2% vs 39.0%; p = 0.003) (Table 2). In multivariate survival analyses detectable viral load (HR3.13; 95%Cl: 2.34–4.19) and MSM (1.63;1.09–2.42) were increasing, but older age (0.63;0.58–0.69, per 5 years older) and higher CD4+ count (0.90;0.85–0.95, per 100 cells/μl) decreasing the risk of culturable URT-BI (Table 2).
Conclusions
Culturable URT-BI are common among HIV-positive patients with high CD4+ count. Similarly to general population most common cultured bacteria were S. aureus and S. pyogenes. Risk factors identified in multivariate survival analysis indicate that younger MSM patients with detectable HIV viral load are at highest risk. In clinical practice this group of patients requires special attention.

Abstract
People living with HIV (PLWH) are at increased risk for noncommunicable diseases such as lung disease in part due to opportunistic infections including pneumonia. HIV infection is associated with increased prevalence of impaired lung function and abnormal gas exchange. Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is exceedingly common in PLWH and is associated with higher risk of pneumonia in PLWH. Alcohol use may lead to lung damage through several mechanisms. Data on the long-term effect of AUD on pulmonary function in PLWH are sparse and conflicting. To evaluate this relationship, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis of adult PLWH in care in Louisiana. We hypothesized that chronic alcohol use would be associated with subsequent pulmonary dysfunction in a dose-dependent fashion. All participants performed standardized spirometry on study entry. In total, 350 participants with acceptable spirometry were included in this analysis. Thirty-one percent of participants were female. Women reported less lifetime alcohol use and less smoking; however, they reported more chronic respiratory symptoms. In adjusted models, total lifetime alcohol use was not associated with spirometry measures of pulmonary function. HIV-related variables (CD4 count and viral load) were also not associated with measures of pulmonary function. We then conducted sex-stratified analyses to eliminate residual confounding of sex and similarly found no association of total lifetime alcohol use and pulmonary function. We found no association of AUDIT score or early life alcohol use and pulmonary function. In latent class factor analysis, current heavy alcohol use was associated with lower measures of pulmonary function as compared to former heavy alcohol use. In summary, in this cohort of New Orleanian men and women living with HIV with robust measures of alcohol use, though total lifetime alcohol use and early life alcohol use were not associated with pulmonary function, current heavy alcohol use was associated with impaired pulmonary function.

The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and association between different health conditions and HIV status. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of adult UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink primary care electronic medical records linked to hospital admissions as of Nov 30, 2015. We examined 47 health condition groups and 304 physical and mental health conditions by HIV status, after adjustment for age, sex, social deprivation status using logistic regression. FINDINGS There were 964 patients with HIV (61.7% male; 92.8% aged <65 years) and 941,113 non-HIV patients (49.4% male; 75.2% aged <65 years). Condition groups with the greatest prevalence in HIV that were also highly prevalent in adults without HIV included: lipid disorder (41.4% vs 40.2%), and hypertension (19.1% vs 24.6%). Following adjustment, 18 (37.5%) condition groups were more likely in adults with HIV and ten (20.8%) were less likely. Individual conditions that were less likely in adults with HIV included: atrial fibrillation (odds ratio [OR] 0.37 [95% CI 0.20-0.64]) and hypertension (OR_0.78 [0.65-0.94]); rheumatoid arthritis (OR 0.27 [0.05-0.84]); asthma (OR_0.65 (0.53-0.80]); and certain eye diseases such as macular degeneration (OR_0.30 [0.09-0.70]). Meanwhile individual conditions that were more likely included: liver fibrosis, sclerosis, and cirrhosis (OR_3.23 [1.85-5.20]); pulmonary embolism (OR_2.06 [1.15-3.36]); male infertility (OR_2.23 [1.50-3.16]) and female infertility (OR_2.01 [1.34-2.88]); bipolar disorder (OR_2.93 [1.52-5.05]) and depression (OR_1.49 [1.28-1.71]); cervical malignancy (OR_4.64 [1.15-12.15]); and infections. INTERPRETATION Comorbidity is common in adults with HIV, with physical and mental health conditions spanning a wide spectrum. HIV management should consider multidisciplinary care models to provide optimal patient care. FUNDING The project was funded by the Bart's Charity; DRM was funded by a Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Career Development Fellowship; DRM and DMM received funding from the HDR-UK Precision therapeutics programme.

Factors Associated with Severe COVID-19 and Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome in a Cohort of People Living with HIV on Antiretroviral Treatment and with Undetectable HIV RNA. Viruses 2022; 14:v14030493. [PMID: 35336900 PMCID: PMC8954437 DOI: 10.3390/v14030493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 02/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 can produce both severe clinical conditions and long-term sequelae, but data describing post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) are lacking for people living with HIV (PLWH). We aimed at assessing the prevalence and factors associated with severe COVID-19 and PACS in our cohort. We included all unvaccinated adult PLWH on antiretroviral treatment and plasma HIV-RNA < 40 cp/mL since at least six months before SARS-CoV-2 infection at the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Unit of Padua (Italy), from 20 February 2020 to 31 March 2021. COVID-19 severity was defined by WHO criteria; PACS was defined as the persistence of symptoms or development of sequelae beyond four weeks from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Demographic and clinical variables were collected, and data were analyzed by non-parametric tests. 123 subjects meeting the inclusion criteria among 1800 (6.8%) PLWH in care at the Infectious and Tropical diseases Unit in Padua were diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 during the study period. The median age was 51 years (40−58), 79.7% were males, and 77.2% of Caucasian ethnicity. The median CD4+ T-cell count and length of HIV infection were 560 cells/mmc (444−780) and 11 years, respectively. Of the patients, 35.0% had asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, 48% developed mild COVID-19, 17.1% presented moderate or severe COVID-19 requiring hospitalization and 4.1% died. Polypharmacy was the single independent factor associated with severe COVID-19. As for PACS, among 75 patients who survived SARS-CoV-2 symptomatic infection, 20 (26.7%) reported PACS at a median follow-up of six months: asthenia (80.0%), shortness of breath (50.0%) and recurrent headache (25.0%) were the three most common complaints. Only the severity of the COVID-19 episode predicted PACS after adjusting for relevant demographic and clinical variables. In our study, PLWH with sustained viral suppression and good immunological response showed that the risk of hospital admission for COVID-19 was low, even though the severity of the disease was associated with high mortality. In addition, the likelihood of developing severe COVID-19 and PACS was mainly driven by similar risk factors to those faced by the general population, such as polypharmacy and the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Impaired differentiation of small airway basal stem/progenitor cells in people living with HIV. Sci Rep 2022; 12:2966.

Abstract
With highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), higher incidence of airway abnormalities is common in the HIV population consistent with the concept of accelerated lung "aging". Our previous findings demonstrated that HIV induces human airway basal cells (BC) into destructive and inflammatory phenotypes. Since BC function as stem/progenitor cells of the small airway epithelium (SAE), responsible for self-renewal and differentiation of SAE, we hypothesized that BC from people living with HIV (PLWH) may have altered differentiation capacity that contribute to premature aging. The data demonstrates that BC from PLWH have impaired capacity to differentiate in vitro and senescent phenotypes including shortened telomeres, increased expression of β-galactosidase and cell cycle inhibitors, and mitochondrial dysfunction. In vitro studies demonstrated that BC senescence is partly due to adverse effects of HAART on BC. These findings provide an explanation for higher incidence of airway dysfunction and accelerated lung aging observed in PLWH.

Chronic Inflammation as the Underlying Mechanism of the Development of Lung Diseases in Psoriasis: A Systematic Review. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031767.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease caused by dysfunctional interactions between the innate and adaptive immune responses. The systemic inflammation in psoriasis may be associated with the development of comorbidities, including lung diseases. In this review, we aimed to provide a summary of the evidence regarding the prevalence of lung diseases in patients with psoriasis and the potential underlying mechanisms. Twenty-three articles published between March 2010 and June 2021 were selected from 195 initially identified records. The findings are discussed in terms of the prevalence of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, obstructive sleep apnea, pulmonary hypertension, and sarcoidosis in psoriasis. A higher prevalence of lung diseases in psoriasis has been confirmed in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and pulmonary hypertension. These conditions are important as they are previously unrecognized causes of morbidity and mortality in psoriasis. The development of lung diseases in patients with psoriasis can be explained by several mechanisms, including common risk factors, shared immune and molecular characteristics associated with chronic inflammation, as well as other mechanisms. Understanding the prevalence of lung diseases in psoriasis and their underlying mechanisms can help implement appropriate preventative and therapeutic strategies to address respiratory diseases in patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy (ART), people living with HIV continue to suffer from high burdens of respiratory infections, lung cancers and chronic lung disease at a higher rate than the general population. The lung mucosa, a previously neglected HIV reservoir site, is of particular importance in this phenomenon. Because ART does not eliminate the virus, residual levels of HIV that remain in deep tissues lead to chronic immune activation and pulmonary inflammatory pathologies. In turn, continuous pulmonary and systemic inflammation cause immune cell exhaustion and pulmonary immune dysregulation, creating a pro-inflammatory environment ideal for HIV reservoir persistence. Moreover, smoking, gut and lung dysbiosis and co-infections further fuel the vicious cycle of residual viral replication which, in turn, contributes to inflammation and immune cell proliferation, further maintaining the HIV reservoir. Herein, we discuss the recent evidence supporting the notion that the lungs serve as an HIV viral reservoir. We will explore how smoking, changes in the microbiome, and common co-infections seen in PLWH contribute to HIV persistence, pulmonary immune dysregulation, and high rates of infectious and non-infectious lung disease among these individuals.

Abstract
Background: People living with HIV (PLWH) have been shown to have an increased risk of autoimmune diseases. Corticosteroids are the cornerstone of autoimmune diseases treatment, but their use is associated with an increased risk of infections. It is unclear how HIV status affects the risk of infection associated with corticosteroids use. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study from 1991 to 2011, using a medico-administrative database from Quebec. Medical billing codes were used to identify PLWH, and we matched them on age, sex, and index date with up to 4 HIV-negative controls. The exposure of interest was the use of corticosteroids, defined as a systemic corticosteroid dispensation lasting at least 20 days. The outcome of interest was hospitalization for severe infection. Crude and adjusted incidence rates ratios of infection were obtained using a random effect Poisson model, and results were stratified by HIV status. Results: In total, 4798 PLWH were matched to 17 644 HIV-negative controls, among which 1083 (22.6%) PLWH and 1854 (10.5%) HIV-negative controls received at least one course of corticosteroid. The mean duration of corticosteroids use was 4 ± 4.4 months in PLWH and 1.6 ± 5.5 months in HIV-negative controls. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) for infections associated with corticosteroids use was 2.49[1.71–3.60] in PLWH and 1.32[0.71–2.47] in HIV-negative controls (P value for interaction 0.18). The most frequent infections were pulmonary infections (50.4%), followed by urinary tract infections (26%) and opportunistic infections (10.5%). Conclusion: Although our interaction term did not reach significance, the increased risk of infection associated with corticosteroids use was more pronounced in PLWH. However, further research with contemporary data is warranted to confirm if the risk associated with corticosteroids use remains high in PLWH with well-controlled HIV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HIV is associated with accelerated decline in lung function and increased risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recently, there has been growing attention toward the impairment in the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO), a marker of pulmonary gas exchange, observed among persons living with HIV. Although increased emphysema can contribute to the DLCO impairment observed, other factors may drive this association. METHODS Using cross-sectional data from the Study of HIV in the Etiology of Lung Disease, we studied the association between HIV and DLCO independent of emphysema. We also analyzed the joint influence of HIV and COPD on DLCO impairment. An analysis was conducted among 339 participants (229 with HIV) with lung function and chest CT imaging data. Multivariable regression models were generated with percent predicted DLCO and odds of DLCO impairment as outcomes. RESULTS After adjusting for confounders, including emphysema severity, HIV was associated with lower DLCO (β -4.02%; P = 0.020) and higher odds of DLCO impairment (odds ratio 1.93; P = 0.017). Even among those without COPD, HIV was independently associated with lower DLCO (β -3.89%; P = 0.049). Compared with HIV-uninfected participants without COPD, those with both HIV and COPD experienced the greatest impairment in DLCO (β -14.81; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS HIV is associated with impaired pulmonary gas exchange independent of emphysema severity. Our data also suggest a potentially additive influence between HIV and COPD on DLCO impairment. Further studies should investigate the other factors, including pulmonary vascular disease, which may contribute to DLCO impairment among persons living with HIV.

Abstract
Pulmonary Kaposi sarcoma (pKS) caused by Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is a devastating form of KS in patients with advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Blood T cells play a central role in the response of HIV-1 and HHV-8. However, little information is available on T cells in the alveolar space of HIV-1-associated pKS patients.Therefore, we examined CD8+ and CD4+ T cells in the alveolar space in comparison with the blood of patients with pKS. We recruited 26 HIV-1 positive patients with KS, including 15 patients with pKS. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells and blood mononuclear cells were analyzed for T cell memory phenotypes, surface markers associated with exhaustion, and intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) using flow cytometry. HIV-1 and HHV-8 viral loads were measured in plasma by quantitative PCR.BAL T cells showed reduced inflammatory capacities and significantly diminished polyfunctionality compared to blood T cells from patients with pKS. This was not accompanied by increased expression of exhaustion markers, such as TIM-3 and PD-1.More importantly, we found a negative correlation between the production of MIP1-β and TNF-α in T cells in BAL and blood, indicating compartmentalised immune responses to pKS and accentuated chronic HIV-1/HHV-8 pathogenesis via T cells in the lungs of people with pKS.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis is the end stage of a broad range of heterogeneous interstitial lung diseases and more than 200 factors contribute to it. In recent years, the relationship between virus infection and pulmonary fibrosis is getting more and more attention, especially after the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in 2019, however, the mechanisms underlying the virus-induced pulmonary fibrosis are not fully understood. Here, we review the relationship between pulmonary fibrosis and several viruses such as Human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV), Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), Murine γ-herpesvirus 68 (MHV-68), Influenza virus, Avian influenza virus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)-CoV, Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 as well as the mechanisms underlying the virus infection induced pulmonary fibrosis. This may shed new light on the potential targets for anti-fibrotic therapy to treat pulmonary fibrosis induced by viruses including SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are living longer due to advancements in treatment. We present a patient with CF in whom diagnoses of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and severe pneumocystis pneumonia were delayed due to anchor bias. Our case highlights the importance of routine age-appropriate health screenings in patients with CF. In addition, we discuss the number of management challenges that may arise in patients with a dual diagnosis of CF and HIV.
