Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART) plays a key role in achieving viral suppression in people living with HIV. We aimed to quantify ART adherence in the entire French HIV-infected population treated in 2019 and to determine factors of influence. METHODS People living with HIV were identified using HIV diagnosis according to International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision criteria, HIV-specific laboratory tests, and prescription of antiretrovirals in 2019. Adherence was measured using the medication possession ratio (MPR; actual divided by theoretical number of tablets). Variables of interest included sex, age, type of ART, relevant comorbidities, and receiving supplementary universal health coverage for low-income citizens (CMUc). RESULTS Of the n = 211 124 people living with HIV identified between 2006 and 2019, we included n = 140 607 on ART with two or more prescription fills in 2019 in this analysis. In total, 87.5% of people living with HIV were receiving ART in 2019. Mean ± standard deviation MPR was 82.5 ± 22.7%; 57% of people living with HIV had an MPR ≥90%, and 12.7% had an MPR <50%. Those with an MPR ≥90% significantly differed between males and females (59.1% and 52.8%, respectively; p < 0.001), and between CMUc recipients and non recipients (54.1% and 57.6%, respectively; p < 0.001). MPR ≥90% rate was lower for those with chronic nephropathy (50.2%), renal failure (46.6%), and tuberculosis (50.1%), and for those using psychoactive substances (52.3%). Factors associated with MPR ≥90% in multivariable analysis were older age, male sex, not receiving CMUc, more recent HIV diagnosis, and triple (vs. dual) ART. CONCLUSION In 2019, the average MPR in people living with HIV was 82.5% according to the comprehensive French health care database. Besides sociodemographic variables such as older age, male sex, and not being a CMUc recipient (i.e. of low socioeconomic status), more recent HIV diagnosis and triple therapy were independently associated with better adherence, possibly reflecting advances in ART tolerability and dosing.

Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study examined the factors associated with low muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical performance in 331 people living with HIV. Participants completed handgrip as a strength measure, appendicular skeletal muscle mass using bioimpedance analysis, and chair rise was a physical performance measure. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between low values on these measures with sociodemographic, HIV-related factors, and comorbidities. Higher body mass index (BMI) (OR = 0.91; CI = 0.86-0.97) and higher CD4/CD8 ratio (OR = 0.38; 95% CI = 0.18-0.82) were associated with decreased likelihood of low handgrip strength. Being non-employed (OR = 2.08; 95% CI = 1.07-4.06), having hypertension (OR = 2.27; 95% CI = 1.13-4.54) and rheumatism (OR = 5.46; 95% CI = 1.68-17.74) increased the chance of low handgrip strength. Higher BMI (OR = 0.43; 95% CI = 0.34-0.56), CD4/CD8 ratio (OR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.09-0.93), and bioimpedance phase angle (OR = 0.22; 95% CI = 0.12-0.40) were associated with decreased likelihood of low muscle mass. Lastly, having less than eight years of education (OR = 1.87; 95% CI = 1.02-3.41) and being non-employed (OR = 8.18; 95% CI = 3.09-21.61) increased the chance of low chair stand performance. In addition, higher CD4 + lymphocytes count (OR = 0.99; 95% CI = 0.99-0.99) was associated with a decreased likelihood of low chair stand performance. In conclusion, specific and non-specific HIV-related factors are associated with low handgrip strength, low muscle mass, and/or low chair stand performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childbirth via cesarean delivery can prevent intrapartum vertical transmission for women who are not virally suppressed at the time of delivery. Few studies have compared cesarean delivery trends between women living with HIV and women without HIV and have examined the role of cesarean delivery in the prevention of vertical transmission in the era of potent combination antiretroviral therapy. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that the cesarean delivery rate is high in women living with HIV compared with women without HIV and that cesarean delivery usage decreases over time among women living with HIV with advances in combined antiretroviral therapy in a country with a high national cesarean delivery rate. This study aimed (1) to evaluate cesarean delivery trends in women with and without HIV and (2) to examine its role in preventing vertical transmission among women living with HIV in a setting of free, universal combined antiretroviral therapy coverage in a retrospective cohort of nearly 56,000 deliveries at a major referral institution in a city with the highest prevalence of maternal HIV in Brazil. STUDY DESIGN Data from maternal-infant pairs from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2018, were extracted. Cesarean delivery rates were compared using the Pearson chi-square test. Cesarean delivery predictors were evaluated by multivariate log-linear Poisson regression using a generalized estimating equations approach. HIV viral suppression was defined as a viral load of <1000 copies/ml at delivery. HIV vertical transmission was determined following national guidelines. RESULTS Over 11 years, 48,688 pregnancies occurred in 40,375 women; HIV seroprevalence was 2.7%; 18,886 cesarean deliveries (38.8%) were performed; 47.7% of women living with HIV and 38.6% of women without HIV underwent cesarean delivery (P<.001). Although HIV was associated with cesarean delivery (adjusted relative risk, 1.17 [95% confidence interval, 1.05-1.29]), women living with HIV with vertical transmission achieved similar cesarean delivery rates (36.7%) as women without HIV (39.8%) in 2018. Cesarean delivery in women living with HIV with an unknown viral load at delivery (42.6%) did not increase over time. HIV vertical transmission rate was 2.2%, the highest in women living with HIV with an unknown viral load (8.4%) vs women living with HIV without vertical transmission (4.1%) and women living with HIV with vertical transmission (0.5%) (P<.001). CONCLUSION In the HIV epicenter of Brazil, women living with HIV with vertical transmission had fewer surgical deliveries, likely because of the use of potent combination antiretroviral therapy. Nearly half of the women living with HIV with an unknown viral load did not undergo cesarean delivery, a potential missed opportunity for the prevention of HIV vertical transmission.

Comparison of Virological Efficacy of DTG/ABC/3TG and B/F/TAF Regimens and Discontinuation Patterns in Persons Living with Advanced HIV in the Era of Rapid ART: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study. Infect Dis Ther 2023; 12:843-861. [PMID: 36520332 PMCID: PMC10017888 DOI: 10.1007/s40121-022-00734-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION International treatment guidelines recommend the rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) with bictegravir (B)/emtricitabine (F)/tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and dolutegravir (DTG)-based regimens for treatment-naïve persons living with HIV (PLWH) irrespective of their disease stage. However, we lack evidence of the virological efficacy, virological failure, and tolerability of coformulated B/F/TAF and DTG/ABC/3TC regimens in persons living with advanced HIV (PLWAH; defined as persons with a CD4+ count of < 200 cells/μL or an AIDS-related opportunistic illness [AOI] at or before ART initiation) in the era of rapid ART. METHODS This retrospective multicenter study enrolled treatment-naïve PLWAH initiating ART with coformulated DTG/ABC/3TC or B/F/TAF in 2019-2020. Viral suppression at week 48 was analyzed using FDA snapshot analysis. Between-regimen differences in time to viral suppression (< 50 copies/mL), virological failure, and regimen discontinuation were examined using a Cox proportional hazards model. Analysis was also performed using time to regimen discontinuation due to adverse reactions (ARs) as the outcome. RESULTS We enrolled 162 patients, including 61.1% on DTG/ABC/3TC and 38.9% on B/F/TAF. At week 48 after ART initiation, 73.47% on DTG/ABC/3TC and 85.71% on B/F/TAF achieved viral suppression (P = 0.178). We identified no between-regimen differences in time to viral suppression or virological failure, regardless of pre-ART viral load. Compared with the DTG/ABC/3TC group, regimen discontinuation was less prevalent in the B/F/TAF group (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.23, 95% CI 0.06-0.85, P = 0.027). The main reason for discontinuation in both groups was ARs (61.9% in the DTG/ABC/3TC and 50% in the B/F/TAF, P = 0.877), of which skin manifestations were the most common in both groups (61.5% in the DTG/ABC/3TC and 50% in the B/F/TAF, P = 0.756). DTG/ABC/3TC, same-day ART prescription, and AOI were risk factors for AR or virological failure-related regimen discontinuation. CONCLUSION In the real world, the risk of regimen discontinuation was higher in PLWAH on coformulated DTG/ABC/3TC than in those on B/F/TAF, with no difference in viral suppression or virological failure. Given the findings concerning the effect of same-day ART prescription and AOIs on AR or virological failure-related regimen discontinuation, individualized approaches to PLWAH are necessary.

Abstract
Understanding the impact of neighborhood context on viral suppression outcomes may help explain health disparities and identify future interventions. We assessed the relationship between individual characteristics, neighborhood socioeconomic context, and viral suppression using multilevel logistic regression models. Adults with HIV initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) between 2000 and 2017, who resided in Rio de Janeiro and had an HIV-1 RNA level (viral load) measured 90-270 days after ART initiation were included. Overall, 83.9% achieved viral suppression. Participants who were older, had a higher level of education, and identified as heterosexual cisgender men and cisgender men-who-have-sex-with-men had increased odds of viral suppression. Later calendar year of ART initiation carried the strongest association with viral suppression, reflecting the increased effectiveness and tolerability of ART over time. Neighborhood socioeconomic indicators did not predict viral suppression in unadjusted or adjusted analyses, which may result from the integrated care provided in our health care facility together with Brazil's universal treatment.

Abstract
HIV-negative individuals in serodiscordant partnerships experience reduced risk of HIV acquisition when their partners adhere to ART and achieve undetectable viral loads. Partnership support may encourage ART adherence, reducing viral load and the risk of HIV transmission. This study aims to determine whether HIV viral suppression is associated with partnership status and partnership support among 201 HIV positive (HIV+ individuals in serodiscordant partnerships and 100 HIV+ unpartnered individuals receiving care at Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição in Porto Alegre, Brazil between 2014 and 2016. Clinical data and patient-reported questionnaire data were assessed, and propensity scores were used to control for confounding variables in adjusted logistic regression models. Viral suppression did not significantly differ between HIV+ partnered (78.5% virally suppressed) and unpartnered (76.0% virally suppressed) individuals. Among individuals in partnerships, viral suppression was significantly associated with having a partner who attended monthly clinic visits (AOR 2.99; 95% CI 1.00-8.93). Instrumental social support-attending monthly visits-may improve the odds of viral suppression among HIV+ individuals in serodiscordant relationships.
