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

Hepatic Steatosis and Weight Gain During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic Among People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: Impact of Therapy With Tenofovir Alafenamide. Open Forum Infect Dis 2023; 10:ofad532. [PMID: 37965642 PMCID: PMC10642731 DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofad532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Lockdown due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to increases in weight in part of the population. Weight gain leads to hepatic steatosis (HS). Antiretroviral treatment could also influence HS in people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH). The impact of lockdown on HS in PWH is unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in HS, as measured by the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), during the COVID-19 pandemic in PWH. Methods This was a cohort study that included PWH who attended a tertiary care center in southern Spain from January 2018 to December 2021. The CAP was evaluated by transient elastography. Only those who had a valid CAP before and after March 2020 were included. HS was defined as CAP ≥248 dB/m. Results Six hundred eighty PWH were attended and 488 (71.8%) were included. Two hundred and fourteen (43.9%) had HS at baseline and 239 (49%) at the end of the follow-up (P = .036). The median change in CAP among PWH taking tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) was 8.5 (interquartile range [IQR], -24 to 46.3) dB/m versus -4 (IQR, -35 to 27) dB/m among PWH receiving TAF-free regimens (P = .003). After multivariate analysis, adjusted by sex and age, weight gain (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.09 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.05-1.14]; P < .001), TAF therapy (AOR, 1.59 [95% CI, 1.07-2.35]; P = .021), plasma triglycerides (AOR, 1.01 [95% CI, 1-1.01]; P < .001), and fasting blood glucose (AOR, 1.01 [95% CI, 1-1.02]; P = .027) were associated with HS at the end of follow-up. Conclusions The frequency of HS increased during the COVID-19 pandemic among PWH. TAF is associated with HS development, regardless of metabolic factors.

Abstract
Background Metabolic effects of integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) have been reported. The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is a publicly available database that captures spontaneously reported adverse events. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between INSTIs and metabolic adverse events using the FAERS database. Methods FAERS data were queried from quarter 4 of 2007 through quarter 4 of 2019 and limited to adults. The Standardized MedDRA Query for 'hyperglycaemia/new-onset diabetes mellitus' (H/DM) was used to identify metabolic adverse events of interest. Weight gain was analysed as a separate event. Reporting odds ratios (RORs) and 95% CIs were calculated for the INSTI class and individual agents. Results Over 10.1 million FAERS reports were identified. Any INSTI was mentioned as a primary and/or secondary suspect agent in 18,400 (0.18%) reports (bictegravir: 1414 [0.01%]; dolutegravir: 7840 [0.08%]; elvitegravir: 4034 [0.04%]; raltegravir: 5551 [0.05%]). RORs (95% CI) for H/DM and weight gain for any INSTI were 1.20 (1.15-1.27) and 2.16 (1.96-2.38). For individual agents, RORs (95% CI) for H/DM and weight gain were as follows: bictegravir, 1.23 (1.10-1.37) and 6.82 (5.50-8.41); dolutegravir, 1.28 (1.19-1.39) and 1.86 (1.58-2.18); elvitegravir, 0.76 (0.56-1.02) and 1.63 (1.37-1.92); and raltegravir, 1.00 (0.90-1.11) and 3.29 (2.77-3.91). H/DM was noted in 159 bictegravir and 712 dolutegravir reports. Conclusion Overall, H/DM was associated with bictegravir and dolutegravir and weight gain with all INSTIs. Clinicians should know the potential relationship between INSTIs and metabolic effects and institute appropriate monitoring.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Comorbidities are increasing in people living with HIV (PLHIV), and different treatment options have advantages and disadvantages. It is important to compare information from real-life treated cases. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the data on efficacy and clinical and laboratory findings during different antiretroviral therapies. METHODS Retrospective file data of 47 PLHIV using Dolutegravir and Lamivudine (3TC/DTG), Tenofovir Alafenamide Emtricitabine and Elvitegravir Cobicistat (EVG/c/TAF/FTC) and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate and Emtricitabine and Efavirenz (EFV/FTC/TDF) were analyzed. Data of the patients at baseline and 12 months after antiretroviral therapy (ART) were compared. RESULTS About 47 PLHIV were included in the study. Of the patients, 22 (46.8%) were in the 3TC/DTG group, 19 (40.4%) in the EVG/c/TAF/FTC, and 6 (12.8%) in the EFV/FTC/TDF group. After 12 months of treatment, BMI, HIV-RNA, CD4, WBC, hemoglobin, MCV, PDW, RDW, platelet count, creatinine, eGFR, HDL, AST, glucose values of the 3TC/DTG group were significantly different (p<0.05). After 12 months of treatment, BMI, HIV-RNA, CD4 count, MCV, creatinine, eGFR, HDL, LDL, TG, TC, AST, and HOMA-IR values of the EVG/c/TAF/FTC treatment group were significantly different (p<0.05). After 12 months of treatment, HIV RNA, total bilirubin, and LDL values in the EFV/FTC/TDF treatment group were statistically different (p<0.05). CONCLUSION All treatment groups showed a decrease in HIV-RNA and an increase in CD4 at the end of one year. While CD4 elevation is lower in EFV recipients than in integrase inhibitor (INSTI) recipients, weight gain is higher in INSTI recipients. While the lipid profile was more positively affected in the 3TC/DTG group, lipid profiles were more negatively affected in the EVG/c/TAF/FTC group, although liver and kidney functions were preserved.

Abstract
Aim: Compare weight changes between people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) at high risk of weight gain (females, Blacks or Hispanics) switching from an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) to a protease inhibitor (PI) or another INSTI. Materials & methods: Mean weight changes from pre-switch to up-to-12 months post-switch were retrospectively compared between PLWH switching to a PI or INSTI. Results: 356 PLWH were eligible. At 9- and 12-month post-switch, weight increases were observed for INSTI (weight: +1.55 kg and +1.59 kg), while decreases were observed for PI (-0.23 kg and -1.59 kg); differences between cohorts widened over time. Conclusion: These data suggest that switching off an INSTI may be a management tool to mitigate or reverse weight gain.

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

Blood Pressure and Body Composition During First Year of Antiretroviral Therapy in People With HIV Compared With HIV-Uninfected Community Controls. Am J Hypertens 2022; 35:929-937.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body composition changes may explain the rapid increase in blood pressure (BP) in people with HIV (PWH) during the first year of antiretroviral therapy. METHODS We analyzed data from a cohort of PWH and HIV-uninfected adults from the same communities in Mwanza, Tanzania. Blood pressure (BP, mm Hg) and body composition data were collected at baseline and 12-month follow-up. We used multivariable linear regression to compare BP changes in PWH and HIV-uninfected adults, and the relationship between changes in body composition and changes in BP. RESULTS BP data were available for 640 PWH and 299 HIV-uninfected adults. Sixty-four percent were women and the mean age was 38 years. In PWH, systolic BP (SBP) increased (114-118) whereas SBP decreased (125-123) in HIV-uninfected participants. Fat mass increased by 1.6 kg on average in PWH and was strongly associated with the change in BP (P < 0.001). The greater increase in SBP in PWH was partly explained by the lower baseline SBP but PWH still experienced a 2.2 (95% CI: 0.3-4.2) greater increase in SBP after adjustment. Weight gain partially mediated the relationship between HIV and SBP increase in PWH; a 1-kg increase in fat mass accounted for 0.8 (95% CI: 0.6-1.1) increase in SBP. CONCLUSIONS Weight and fat mass increase rapidly in PWH during the first 12 months of antiretroviral therapy and contribute to a rapid increase in SBP. Interventions to prevent excessive increase in fat mass are needed for PWH.
