RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Pre-diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with proteinuria, a risk factor for chronic kidney disease. While people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; PWH) have a higher risk of proteinuria than people without HIV (PWOH), it is unknown whether incident proteinuria differs by HIV serostatus among prediabetic persons. METHODS: The urine protein-to-creatinine ratio was measured at semiannual visits among men in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study since April 2006. Men with pre-DM on or after April 2006 and no prevalent proteinuria or use of antidiabetic medications were included. Pre-DM was defined as a fasting glucose level of 100-125â mg/dL confirmed within a year by a repeated fasting glucose or hemoglobin A1c measurement of 5.7%-6.4%. Incident proteinuria was defined as a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) >200â mg/g, confirmed within a year. We used Poisson regression models to determine whether incident proteinuria in participants with pre-DM differed by HIV serostatus and, among PWH, whether HIV-specific factors were related to incident proteinuria. RESULTS: Between 2006 and 2019, among 1276 men with pre-DM, proteinuria developed in 128 of 613 PWH (21%) and 50 of 663 PWOH (8%) over a median 10-year follow-up. After multivariable adjustment, the incidence of proteinuria in PWH with pre-DM was 3.3 times (95% confidence interval, 2.3-4.8 times) greater than in PWOH (P < .01). Among PWH, current CD4 cell count <50/µL (P < .01) and current use of protease inhibitors (P = .03) were associated with incident proteinuria, while lamivudine and integrase inhibitor use were associated with a lower risk. CONCLUSIONS: Among men with pre-DM, the risk of incident proteinuria was 3 times higher in PWH. Strategies to preserve renal function are needed in this population.

Background: People with HIV (PWH) are aging. Frailty is an age-related condition predictive of hospitalization and mortality. Here, we assessed the frequency and factors associated with frailty transitions at 1-year follow-up in elderly PWH. Methods: Five hundred eight PWH aged 70 years or older who were on antiretroviral treatment were included in the French multicenter SEPTAVIH study in 2019-2020. Participants were classified as robust, prefrail, or frail according to Fried frailty phenotype at baseline and at 1 year. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate socioeconomic and medical factors associated with transition between frailty states. Models were adjusted for gender, age at baseline, education, and period of HIV diagnosis (before vs after 1996). Results: Seventeen PWH died during the 1-year follow-up. Of the remaining 491 PWH (median age, 73 years), frailty status worsened for 18% of participants and improved for 14% at 1 year. Advanced age, baseline CD4+ T-cell count <350 cells/mm3, and type 2 diabetes were associated with transition from prefrailty to frailty (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.10 per 1-year positive difference; 95% CI, 1.01-1.20; aOR, 3.05; 95% CI, 1.14-8.18; and aOR, 2.63; 95% CI, 1.05-6.57; respectively). Being female was associated with more frequent improvement from prefrailty to robustness (aOR, 2.50; 95% CI, 1.09-5.55). Conclusions: Preventing frailty in elderly PWH is a long-term problem, beginning with the early diagnosis of HIV infection and the management of comorbidities.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Increased rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are reported among men who have sex with men (MSM) and new interventions are needed. We aimed to assess whether post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) with doxycycline could reduce the incidence of chlamydia or syphilis (or both) and whether the meningococcal group B vaccine (4CMenB) could reduce the incidence of gonorrhoea in this population. METHODS: ANRS 174 DOXYVAC is a multicentre, open-label, randomised trial with a 2â×â2 factorial design conducted at ten hospital sites in Paris, France. Eligible participants were MSM aged 18 years or older, HIV negative, had a history of bacterial STIs within the 12 months before enrolment, and who were already included in the ANRS PREVENIR study (a cohort of MSM using pre-exposure prophylaxis with tenofovir and emtricitabine for HIV prevention). Participants were randomly assigned (2:1) to doxycycline PEP (two pills of 100 mg each orally within 72 h after condomless sex, with no more than three doses of 200 mg per week) or no PEP groups and were also randomly assigned (1:1) to the 4CMenB vaccine (GlaxoSmithKline, Paris, France; two intramuscular injections at enrolment and at 2 months) or no vaccine groups, using a computer-generated randomisation list with a permuted fixed block size of four. Follow-up occurred for at least 12 months (with visits every 3 months) up to 24 months. The coprimary outcomes were the risk of a first episode of chlamydia or syphilis (or both) after the enrolment visit at baseline for the doxycycline intervention and the risk of a first episode of gonorrhoea starting at month 3 (ie, 1 month after the second vaccine dose) for the vaccine intervention, analysed in the modified intention-to-treat population (defined as all randomly assigned participants who had at least one follow-up visit). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04597424 (ongoing). FINDINGS: Between Jan 19, 2021, and Sept 19, 2022, 556 participants were randomly assigned. 545 (98%) participants were included in the modified intention-to-treat analysis for the doxycycline PEP and no PEP groups and 544 (98%) were included for the 4CMenB vaccine and no vaccine groups. The median follow-up was 14 months (IQR 9-18). The median age was 40 years (34-48) and all 545 participants were male. There was no interaction between the two interventions (p≥0·1) for the primary outcome. The incidence of a first episode of chlamydia or syphilis (or both) was 8·8 per 100 person-years (35 events in 362 participants) in the doxycycline PEP group and 53·2 per 100 person-years (80 events in 183 participants) in the no PEP group (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0·17 [95% CI 0·12-0·26]; p<0·0001). The incidence of a first episode of gonorrhoea, starting from month 3 was 58·3 per 100 person-years (103 events in 274 participants) in the 4CmenB vaccine group and 77·1 per 100 person-years (122 events in 270 participants) in the no vaccine group (aHR 0·78 [95% CI 0·60-1·01]; p=0·061). There were no deaths during the study. One drug-related serious adverse event (fixed-drug eruption) occurred in the doxycycline PEP group. Six (2%) participants in the doxycycline group discontinued doxycycline PEP because of gastrointestinal adverse events. INTERPRETATION: Doxycycline PEP strongly reduced the incidence of chlamydia and syphilis in MSM, but we did not show efficacy of the 4CmenB vaccine for gonorrhoea. Doxycycline PEP should be assessed in other populations, such as heterosexual men and women, and its effect on antimicrobial resistance carefully monitored.

RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Cabotegravir plus rilpivirine (CAB + RPV) is the first complete long-acting (LA) regimen recommended for maintaining HIV-1 virological suppression. Cabotegravir And Rilpivirine Implementation Study in European Locations (CARISEL) is an implementation-effectiveness study examining the implementation of CAB+RPV LA administered every 2 months (Q2M) in European HIV centres. We present staff study participant (SSP) perspectives on the administration of CAB+RPV LA over 12 months. METHODS: Eighteen clinics were randomized to one of two implementation support packages: standard arm (Arm-S) or enhanced arm (Arm-E). Arm-S included video injection training and provider/patient toolkits. Additionally, Arm-E included skilled wrap-around team meetings, face-to-face injection training and continuous quality improvement (CQI) calls. SSPs completed surveys on the acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility of CAB+RPV LA as an intervention and its implementation into their clinics, as well as barriers and facilitators to implementation. All surveys were completed at Month (M)1 (baseline), M5 and M12; data collection was completed by February 2022. Qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews at M1, M5 and M12. The primary objective was assessed via formal statistical comparisons between study arms of the Acceptability of Implementation Measure, Implementation Appropriateness Measure and Feasibility of Implementation Measure surveys (1-5 Likert scale ranging from 1 = "completely disagree" to 5 = "completely agree"). Equivalent measures anchored to CAB+RPV LA as a therapy were also assessed. RESULTS: Seventy SSPs completed surveys and interviews at M1, 68 at M5 and 62 at M12. Mean acceptability/appropriateness/feasibility scores were ≥3.8 (out of 5) at M12 for implementation- and intervention-based measures. An analysis of covariance showed no significant differences between study arms for these outcomes. Although barriers were noted, most SSPs were not overly concerned that these would impact implementation; concern about these anticipated barriers also decreased over time. At M12, 90.3% (n = 56/62) of SSPs held a positive opinion about CAB+RPV LA implementation. Qualitative interviews and CQI calls highlighted three top practices that supported implementation: implementation planning; education about CAB+RPV LA clinical efficacy; and education around administering injections and managing pain/discomfort after injections. CONCLUSIONS: CARISEL demonstrated that CAB+RPV LA dosed Q2M was successfully implemented across a range of European locations, with SSPs finding implementation highly acceptable, appropriate and feasible.
