RESUMO
BACKGROUND: With integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) use associated with increased body mass index (BMI) and BMI increases associated with higher diabetes mellitus (DM) risk, this study explored the relationship between INSTI/non-INSTI regimens, BMI changes, and DM risk. METHODS: RESPOND participants were included if they had CD4, HIV RNA, and ≥ 2 BMI measurements during follow up. Those with prior DM were excluded. DM was defined as a random blood glucose ≥ 11·1 mmol/L, HbA1c ≥ 6·5%/48 mmol/mol, use of antidiabetic medication, or site reported clinical diagnosis. Poisson regression assessed the association between natural log (ln) of time-updated BMI, current INSTI/non-INSTI, and their interactions, on DM risk. RESULTS: Among 20,865 people with HIV included, most were male (74%) and White (73%). Baseline median age was 45 years (IQR 37-52), with a median BMI of 24 kg/m2 (IQR 22-26). There were 785 DM diagnoses with a crude rate of 0·73 (95%CI 0·68-0·78)/100 PYFU. Ln(BMI) was strongly associated with DM (adjusted incidence rate ratio (aIRR) 16·54 per log increase, 95%CI 11·33-24·13; p<0·001). Current INSTI use associated with increased DM risk (IRR 1·58, 95%CI 1·37-1·82; p<0·001) in univariate analyses, only partially attenuated when adjusted for variables including ln(BMI) (aIRR 1·48, 95%CI 1·29-1·71; p<0·001). There was no interaction between ln(BMI), INSTI and non-INSTI use, and DM (p=0·130). CONCLUSIONS: In RESPOND, compared with non-INSTIs, current use of INSTIs was associated with an increased DM risk, which partially attenuated when adjusted for BMI changes and other variables.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Mortality among people with HIV declined with the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy. We investigated trends over time in all-cause and cause-specific mortality in people with HIV from 1999-2020. METHODS: Data were collected from the D:A:D cohort from 1999 through January 2015 and RESPOND from October 2017 through 2020. Age-standardized all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates, classified using Coding Causes of Death in HIV (CoDe), were calculated. Poisson regression models were used to assess mortality trends over time. RESULTS: Among 55716 participants followed for a median of 6 years (IQR 3-11), 5263 participants died (crude mortality rate [MR] 13.7/1000 PYFU; 95%CI 13.4-14.1). Changing patterns of mortality were observed with AIDS as the most common cause of death between 1999- 2009 (n = 952, MR 4.2/1000 PYFU; 95%CI 4.0-4.5) and non-AIDS defining malignancy (NADM) from 2010 -2020 (n = 444, MR 2.8/1000 PYFU; 95%CI 2.5-3.1). In multivariable analysis, all-cause mortality declined over time (adjusted mortality rate ratio [aMRR] 0.97 per year; 95%CI 0.96, 0.98), mostly from 1999 through 2010 (aMRR 0.96 per year; 95%CI 0.95-0.97), and with no decline shown from 2011 through 2020 (aMRR 1·00 per year; 95%CI 0·96-1·05). Mortality due all known causes except NADM also declined over the entire follow-up period. CONCLUSION: Mortality among people with HIV in the D:A:D and/or RESPOND cohorts decreased between 1999 and 2009 and was stable over the period from 2010 through 2020. The decline in mortality rates was not fully explained by improvements in immunologic-virologic status or other risk factors.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The combination of dolutegravir plus rilpivirine has been studied in people with virologically suppressed HIV with no previous history of treatment failure or resistance. We investigated the potential to maintain viral suppression with dolutegravir plus rilpivirine in people with Lys103Asn mutations whose HIV was previously managed with other treatment regimens. METHODS: In this open-label pilot trial at 32 clinical sites in seven European countries, virologically suppressed, HBsAg-negative adults aged 18 years or older with HIV-1 and Lys103Asn mutations were randomly assigned (2:1) to switch to 50 mg dolutegravir plus 25 mg rilpivirine (given as a single tablet) once daily or to continue their current antiretroviral therapy regimen (control group). After 48 weeks, participants in the control group also switched to dolutegravir plus rilpivirine. Randomisation was stratified by country, and a computer-generated randomisation list with permuted blocks within strata was used to assign participants to treatment groups. The primary endpoints were virological failure (ie, two consecutive measurements of 50 copies or more of HIV RNA per mL at least 2 weeks apart) and virological suppression (the proportion of participants with fewer than 50 copies of HIV RNA per mL) at week 48 (week 96 data will be reported separately). Analyses were done in the modified intention-to-treat population, which included all participants who received at least one dose of the study medication. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05349838, and EudraCT, 2017-004040-38. FINDINGS: Between Nov 5, 2018, and Dec 9, 2020, 140 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned, 95 to the dolutegravir plus rilpivirine group and 45 to the control group. Virological failure was recorded in three participants (3·2%, 95% CI 0·7 to 9·0) in the the dolutegravir plus rilpivirine group and one (2·2%, 0·1 to 11·8) in the control group. The proportion of participants in whom virological suppression was maintained at week 48 was 88·4% (80·2 to 94·1) in the dolutegravir plus rilpivirine group versus 88·9% (75·9 to 96·3) in the control group (difference -0·5, -11·7 to 10·7). Significantly more adverse events were recorded in the dolutegravir plus rilpivirine group than in the control group (234 vs 72; p=0·0034), but the proportion of participants who reported at least one adverse event was similar between groups (76 [80%] of 95 vs 33 [73%] of 45; p=0·39). The frequency of serious adverse events was low and similar between groups. INTERPRETATION: Virological suppression was maintained at week 48 in most participants with Lys103Asn mutations when they switched from standard regimens to dolutegravir plus rilpivirine. The results of this pilot study, if maintained when the week 96 data are reported, support conduct of a large, well-powered trial of dolutegravir plus rilpivirine. FUNDING: ViiV Healthcare.

BACKGROUND: Switching to the 2-drug regimen dolutegravir/lamivudine demonstrated durable non-inferior efficacy vs continuing 3- or 4-drug tenofovir alafenamide-based regimens for maintaining virologic suppression in people with HIV-1 through Week 144 in TANGO. SETTING: 134 centers, 10 countries. METHODS: Adults with HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL for >6 months and no history of virologic failure were randomized to switch from stable tenofovir alafenamide-based regimens to dolutegravir/lamivudine on Day 1 (early-switch group) for 196 weeks. Those randomized to continue tenofovir alafenamide-based regimens on Day 1 who maintained virologic suppression at Week 144 switched to dolutegravir/lamivudine at Week 148 (late-switch group). Efficacy, safety, and tolerability (including weight and biomarker changes) of dolutegravir/lamivudine in early-switch and late-switch groups were assessed through Week 196. RESULTS: Overall, 369 participants switched to dolutegravir/lamivudine on Day 1 (early-switch) and 298 switched at Week 148 (late-switch). In the early-switch group, 83% (306/369) maintained virologic suppression through Year 4, and 3% (11/369) reported new adverse events between Weeks 144 and 196. The late-switch group at Week 196 and early-switch group at Week 48 had comparable proportions with virologic suppression (93% each) and similar safety profiles. No late-switch participants and 1 early-switch participant met confirmed virologic withdrawal criteria through Week 196, with no resistance-associated mutations observed. Treatment continued to be well tolerated long-term. CONCLUSION: Switching from tenofovir alafenamide-based regimens to dolutegravir/lamivudine showed durable efficacy, high barrier to resistance, and good tolerability through 4 years. These results support dolutegravir/lamivudine as a robust treatment for maintaining virologic suppression.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The phase 3 PROVENT and STORM CHASER studies evaluated AZD7442 (tixagevimab/cilgavimab) for pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis of symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We report the final 15-month results of both studies. METHODS: In PROVENT, participants were randomized 2:1 to receive 300 mg AZD7442 (n = 3460) or placebo (n = 1737). In STORM CHASER, participants were enrolled within 8 days of exposure to a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected individual and randomized 2:1 to receive 300 mg AZD7442 (n = 749) or placebo (n = 372). RESULTS: In PROVENT, the relative risk reduction (RRR) in symptomatic COVID-19 for AZD7442 versus placebo was 76.7% at primary analysis [95% confidence interval (CI) 46.1, 90.0; p < 0.001], 83.0% at day 183 (95% CI 67.3, 91.2; nominal p < 0.001), and 46.3% at day 366 (95% CI 23.1, 62.4; nominal p < 0.001). Severe/critical COVID-19 was reduced by 91.4% with AZD7442 versus placebo by day 366 (95% CI 61.3, 98.1; nominal p < 0.0001). Adverse events (AEs) occurred in 58.2% and 58.0% of participants administered AZD7442 or placebo, respectively; serious AEs (SAEs) occurred in 6.2% and 5.6%, respectively. In STORM CHASER, the RRR in symptomatic COVID-19 for AZD7442 versus placebo was 33.3% at primary analysis (95% CI - 25.9, 64.7; p = 0.212), 43.3% at day 183 (95% CI 1.4, 67.4; nominal p = 0.044) and 3.4% at day 366 (95% CI - 35.6, 31.2; nominal p = 0.842). Severe/critical COVID-19 did not occur in participants receiving AZD7442 versus 0.5% of participants receiving placebo by day 366. AEs occurred in 46.5% and 51.9% of participants administered AZD7442 or placebo, respectively; SAEs occurred in 2.7% and 4.3%, respectively. In both studies, serum concentration-time profiles over 457 days were similar for tixagevimab and cilgavimab and consistent with the extended half-life reported for AZD7442 (approximately 90 days). CONCLUSION: This analysis provides proof of concept supporting long-term safety of intramuscularly administered AZD7442 for prevention of symptomatic/severe COVID-19. A graphical abstract is available with this article. GOV IDENTIFIERS: PROVENT (NCT04625725) and STORM CHASER (NCT04625972).
Antibodies are proteins produced by the body's immune system to specifically target foreign substances, such as viruses. AZD7442 is made up of an antibody pair (tixagevimab and cilgavimab) that specifically bind and neutralize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). AZD7442 was designed to give several months of protection against the virus. These antibodies were tested in two clinical trials to see if they could either protect people from getting COVID-19 (PROVENT trial) or prevent people already exposed to SARS-CoV-2 from getting COVID-19 (STORM CHASER trial). In the two trials, approximately 6000 adults received AZD7442 or placebo (injections that look exactly like AZD7442 but contain no medicine). Protection against COVID-19 was monitored for up to 1 year, and safety for up to 15 months. The percentage of trial participants who reported side effects was similar in the AZD7442 and placebo groups, in both trials. The PROVENT trial showed that AZD7442 reduced the risk of getting COVID-19 up to 6 months and protected against severe COVID-19 for up to 1 year. In STORM CHASER, participants were treated after SARS-CoV-2 exposure but before a positive COVID-19 test. Some participants were already infected with SARS-CoV-2 at the start of the trial, others were not. STORM CHASER showed that AZD7442 protected people against COVID-19 for up to 6 months if they were not already infected at the start. The results of these trials provide proof of concept to support the long-term safety of AZD7442 for the prevention of COVID-19.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Describe the prevalence and characteristics of people living with HIV (PLWH) in Belgium with limited/exhausted treatment options. METHODS: A cross-sectional, multicenter study involving adult treatment-experienced individuals with limited/exhausted treatment options defined as having a multi-drug resistant HIV-1 or a history of multiple treatment changes. The primary outcome was to determine the prevalence of these individuals and classify them based on their two most recent consecutive HIV-1 viral loads (VLs): suppressed (2 VLs < 50 copies/mL), intermediate (≥1 VL between 50-200 copies/mL), or unsuppressed (2 VLs > 200 copies/mL). Secondary outcome was to characterize the participants included in this analysis. RESULTS: There were 119 individuals included (prevalence of 0.97%; 119 of 12 282 in care). The majority were aged > 50 years (88.2%), women represented 35.3%, and individuals were primarily White (54.7%). Median (IQR) CD4+ T-cell count was 635 (400-875) cells/µL and most (42%) were on a 3-drug ART regimen. Overall, 87.4% were classified as suppressed, 9.2% as intermediate, and 3.4% as unsuppressed. On multivariable analysis, CD4+ T-cell count < 200 cells/µL was associated with being classified as intermediate or unsuppressed (p = 0.004). CONCLUSION: In this analysis of PLWH in Belgium, individuals with limited/exhausted treatment options represented a small fraction. Most were on a 3-drug ART regimen, were virologically suppressed, and had a CD4+ T-cell count within normal range. A small proportion were not virologically suppressed while others, despite being suppressed, were on ≥ 4-drug ART regimens. As such, new therapeutic options are needed to achieve and maintain virologic suppression in such individuals while decreasing their pill burden.

BACKGROUND: Maternal pertussis vaccination with Tdap vaccine is recommended to protect newborns from severe postnatal infection. HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants have a higher incidence of pertussis infection and may particularly benefit from maternal immunization. The impact of HIV infection on the quality of IgG and memory B cell (MBC) responses to Tdap vaccination in pregnant women (PW) living with HIV (PWH) is unknown. METHODS: In this observational study, humoral immune responses to Tdap vaccination, including IgG levels, Fc-dependent effector functions, and MBC frequencies, were measured before and after vaccination in 40 PWH and 42 HIV-uninfected PW. Placental transfer of IgG and avidity were assessed in cord blood (CB). Soluble and cellular immune activation markers were quantified at baseline. FINDINGS: One month after vaccination, PWH had lower frequencies of MBC compared with HIV-uninfected PW. At delivery, PWH had attenuated pertussis-specific IgG levels and Fc-dependent effector functions. Reduced levels of maternal vaccine polyfunctional IgG and IgG avidity were transferred to HEU as compared to HIV-unexposed newborns. After adjustment with ethnicity, maternal antibody levels and gestational age at vaccination, HIV infection was independently associated with decreased levels of PT specific-IgG in CB. Both maternal and neonatal pertussis-specific IgG responses as well as PT-specific IgG avidity were inversely correlated with maternal sCD14 levels before vaccination among PWH. INTERPRETATION: Maternal HIV infection is associated with attenuated humoral immune responses to Tdap vaccination that correlate with sCD14. Suboptimal transfer of maternal immunity may further increase the risk of severe pertussis infection in HEU infants.

BACKGROUND: Cabotegravir + rilpivirine long-acting (CAB + RPV LA) dosed every 2 months (Q2M) is a complete regimen for the maintenance of HIV-1 virologic suppression. In this study, we report month 12 clinical outcomes in patient study participants (PSPs) in the CAB and RPV Implementation Study in European Locations (CARISEL) study. SETTING: CARISEL is a phase 3b implementation-effectiveness study. METHODS: CARISEL was designed as a 2-arm, unblinded study with centers randomized to either enhanced or standard implementation arms. For PSPs, this study is single arm, unblinded, and interventional; all PSPs switched from daily oral therapy to CAB + RPV LA dosed Q2M. The primary objective was to evaluate the perceived acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of CAB + RPV LA implementation for staff participants (presented separately). Clinical secondary endpoints assessed through month 12 included the proportion of PSPs with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥50 and <50 copies/mL (Snapshot algorithm), incidence of confirmed virologic failure (CVF; 2 consecutive plasma HIV-1 RNA levels ≥200 copies/mL), adherence to injection visit windows, and safety and tolerability. RESULTS: Four hundred thirty PSPs were enrolled and treated; the mean age was 44 years (30% ≥50 years), 25% were women (sex at birth), and 22% were persons of color. At month 12, 87% (n = 373/430) of PSPs maintained HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL, with 0.7% (n = 3/430) having HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL. One PSP had CVF. The safety profile was consistent with previous findings. Overall, the results were similar between implementation arms. CONCLUSION: CAB + RPV LA Q2M was well tolerated and highly effective in maintaining virologic suppression with a low rate of virologic failure.

Background: All-cause and AIDS-mortality in Europe has been decreasing between 1996 and 2020. However, regional differences as well as their drivers remain unclear. This study investigates mortality differences and their drivers, including usage of and response to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and active tuberculosis (TB), among people with HIV across Europe. Methods: People with HIV enrolled in EuroSIDA were followed from 2001 through 2020. Immunologic-virologic status (IVS) was categorized as poor (CD4-cell count ≤350 cells/mm3 and viral load (VL) > 200 copies/ml), good (CD4 ≥ 500 and VL < 200), or intermediate (remaining combinations). Participants missing either CD4-cell count or VL were categorized as unknown. Regional differences in mortality were analyzed using multivariable Poisson regression with interaction analyses between regions of Europe and IVS, ART, or TB status. Findings: 20,364 people with HIV were included: 13,715/20,346 (67.3%) from Western, 3020/20,364 (14.8%) from Central Eastern, and 3629/20,364 (17.8%) from Eastern Europe. At enrolment, median age was 40 years (inter-quartile range (IQR): 33-48), median CD4-cell count 449 cells/mm3 (IQR: 291-638), and most were male 14,993/20,346 (73.3%). A total of 2639 died during 192,591 person-years of follow-up (crude mortality rate 13.7/1000 person-years, 95% CI: 13.2-14.2), 519/2639 (19.7%) from AIDS (2.7/1000 person-years, 2.5-2.9). All-cause and AIDS-mortality rates decreased over time but remained higher in Eastern Europe after adjusting for confounders. Being off ART (aIRR 2.42; 95% CI 2.14-2.74), poor IVS (aIRR 4.2; 95% CI 3.39-5.20) and prior TB (aIRR 3.33; 95% CI 2.75-4.03) were associated with higher all-cause mortality. For all-cause mortality the effect of ART (test for interaction: p < 0.001) and IVS (p = 0.02), but not TB (p = 0.5) varied across regions. Interpretation: Overall mortality and AIDS-mortality rates decreased over time, but remained higher in Eastern Europe. A poor IVS, being off ART and prior active TB were related to higher mortality. Eastern Europe had the highest proportion of people with poor or unknown IVS, emphasizing the continued need to improve HIV care with a focus on early diagnosis, ART initiation, and adherence.

RESUMO
Background: While use of some older antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) is associated with chronic liver enzyme elevation (cLEE), the impact of newer ARVs remains unknown. Methods: People with HIV enrolled in the RESPOND cohort who started an ARV after January 1, 2012 were included (baseline). The primary outcome was first cLEE individuals were censored at first of cLEE, last visit, death, or December 31, 2021. Incidence rates (IRs; events/1000 person-years) were calculated for each ARV overall and by ARV exposure (6-12 months, 1-2 years, and 2+ years). Poisson regression was used to estimate the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of cLEE and its association with individual ARVs and ARV class. Results: Of 17 106 individuals included contributing 87 924 person-years of follow-up, 1932 (11.3%) experienced cLEE (incidence rate [IR], 22.0; 95% CI, 21.0-23.0). There was no evidence of a cumulative ARV effect on cLEE incidence, (6-12 months: IR, 45.8; 95% CI, 41.4-50.19; 1-2 years: IR, 34.3; 95% CI, 31.5-37.4; and 2+ years: IR, 18.5; 95% CI, 17.4-19.7). Any use (vs no prior use) of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) as a class and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) was independently associated with an increased IRR of cLEE, and any use of darunavir (DRV) was associated with a decreased risk of cLEE. Conclusions: cLEE is common and more frequent during the first year after initiating new ARVs. With a >5-year median follow-up, we found no short-term liver safety concerns with the use of INSTIs. Use of NNRTIs and TDF was associated with an increased cLEE risk, while DRV was associated with lower risk.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Integrase strand-transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) and tenofovir alafenamide have been associated with weight gain in several clinical trials and observational cohorts. However, whether weight gain associated with INSTIs and tenofovir alafenamide confers a higher risk of weight-related clinical events is unclear. We aimed to assess whether changes in BMI differentially increase hypertension or dyslipidaemia risk in people with HIV receiving INSTIs, tenofovir alafenamide, or both versus other contemporary regimens. METHODS: This multicentre, prospective observational study analysed prospective data from RESPOND, an international consortium of HIV cohorts for which recruitment began in 2017 and is still ongoing from HIV clinics and hospitals in 37 European countries and Australia. Participants were eligible if they were aged 18 years or older, receiving INSTI-containing antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens or a contemporary non-INSTI, did not have hypertension or dyslipidaemia at baseline, and had baseline and at least two follow-up BMI, lipid, and blood pressure measurements. We excluded participants without baseline CD4 or HIV RNA results and those receiving non-ART medications associated with weight changes, including antipsychotics and mood stabilisers, corticosteroids, insulin, and insulin secretagogues. They were followed up from baseline until the earliest hypertension or dyslipidaemia event, their last visit, or Dec 31, 2021, whichever was earlier. The primary outcomes were incidence of hypertension and dyslipidaemia, for which we used multivariable Poisson regression adjusted for time-updated BMI to determine unadjusted and adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of hypertension and dyslipidaemia in people receiving INSTIs, tenofovir alafenamide, or both, and tested for interaction between time-updated ART regimen and BMI. FINDINGS: Of the 35 941 RESPOND participants, 9704 (7327 [75·5 %] male and 2377 [24·5%] female) were included in the hypertension analysis and 5231 (3796 [72·6%] male and 1435 [27·4%] female) were included in the dyslipidaemia analysis. In the univariable model, hypertension was more common in individuals receiving an INSTI with tenofovir alafenamide (IRR 1·70, 95% CI 1·54-1·88) or an INSTI without tenofovir alafenamide (1·41, 1·30-1·53) compared with those receiving neither INSTIs nor tenofovir alafenamide. Adjustment for time-updated BMI and confounders attenuated risk in participants receiving an INSTI with (IRR 1·48, 1·31-1·68) or without (1·25, 1·13-1·39) tenofovir alafenamide. Similarly, dyslipidaemia was more common in participants using tenofovir alafenamide with an INSTI (IRR 1·24, 1·10-1·40) and tenofovir alafenamide alone (1·22, 1·03-1·44) than in participants using neither INSTI nor tenofovir alafenamide. Adjustment for BMI and confounders attenuated the risk in participants receiving tenofovir alafenamide with an INSTI (adjusted IRR 1·21, 1·07-1·37), whereas the risk in those receiving tenofovir alafenamide alone became non-significant (1·15, 0·96-1·38). The associations between increasing BMI and risk of hypertension and dyslipidaemia did not differ between participants receiving different ART regimens (pinteraction=0·46 for hypertension; pinteraction=0·31 for dyslipidaemia). INTERPRETATION: Although residual confounding cannot be entirely excluded, the use of INSTIs was associated with incident hypertension, and the use of tenofovir alafenamide was associated with dyslipidaemia, with the latter association partly mediated by weight gain. These results reiterate the need for hypertension and dyslipidaemia screening in people with HIV.

OBJECTIVES: Tuberculosis (TB) risk after initiation of antiretroviral treatment (ART) is not well described in a European setting, with an average TB incidence of 25/105 in the background population. METHODS: We included all adult persons with HIV starting ART in the RESPOND cohort between 2012 and 2020. TB incidence rates (IR) were assessed for consecutive time intervals post-ART initiation. Risk factors for TB within 6 months from ART initiation were evaluated using Poisson regression models. RESULTS: Among 8441 persons with HIV, who started ART, 66 developed TB during 34,239 person-years of follow-up [PYFU], corresponding to 1.87/1000 PYFU (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.47-2.37). TB IR was highest in the first 3 months after ART initiation (14.41/1000 PY (95%CI 10.08-20.61]) and declined at 3-6, 6-12, and >12 months post-ART initiation (5.89 [95%CI 3.35-10.37], 2.54 [95%CI 1.36-4.73] and 0.51 [95%CI 0.30-0.86]), respectively. Independent risk factors for TB within the first 6 months after ART initiation included follow-up in Northern or Eastern Europe region, African origin, baseline CD4 count <200 cells/mm3, HIV RNA >100,000 copies/mL, injecting drug use and heterosexual transmission. CONCLUSIONS: TB IR was highest in the first 3 months post-ART initiation and was associated with baseline risk factors, highlighting the importance of thorough TB risk assessment at ART initiation.
RESUMO
Background: Despite the beneficial effects of antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation during acute HIV infection (AHI), residual immune activation remains a hallmark of treated HIV infection. Methods: Plasma concentrations of 40 mediators were measured longitudinally in 39 early treated participants of a Belgian AHI cohort (HIV+) and in 21 HIV-negative controls (HIV-). We investigated the association of the inflammatory profile with clinical presentation, plasma viral load, immunological parameters, and in-depth characterization of the HIV reservoir. Results: While levels of most soluble mediators normalized with suppressive ART, we demonstrated the persistence of a pro-inflammatory signature in early treated HIV+ participants in comparison to HIV- controls. Examination of these mediators demonstrated a correlation with their levels during AHI, which seemed to be viremia-driven, and suggested involvement of an activated myeloid compartment, IFN-γ-signaling, and inflammasome-related pathways. Interestingly, some of these pro-inflammatory mediators correlated with a larger reservoir size and slower reservoir decay. In contrast, we also identified soluble mediators which were associated with favorable effects on immunovirological outcomes and reservoir, both during and after AHI. Conclusion: These data highlight how the persistent pro-inflammatory profile observed in early ART treated individuals is shaped during AHI and is intertwined with viral dynamics.
