Our results did not show viremia to be predictive of CVD among people with HIV. Although uncommon, INSTI resistance is emerging, mainly in highly treatment experienced CAWHIV from LMIC, highlighting the global need for access to boosted protease inhibitors and novel classes, including formulations for children less than 35?kg.

Screening characteristics of participants in an open label, multi?centre, randomized controlled trial investigating integrase inhibitor versus boosted protease inhibitor antiretroviral therapy for late presenters with advanced HIV disease (LAPTOP) () - Oct 26, 2024 - Abstract #HIVGlasgow2024HIV_Glasgow_316; LAPTOP is a 48-week, open-label, European, multi-centre, non-inferiority, controlled trial comparing outcomes for people with advanced HIV disease randomized 1:1 to receive bictegravir (BIC) or darunavir (DRV)/cobicistat (c) co-formulated with emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)...96.5% and 97.9% were fully susceptible to BIC/FTC/TAF or DRV/c/FTC/TAF, respectively (Table 1)... Almost half of LAPTOP trial participants were diagnosed after an AIDS-defining condition was present, and over half had CD4 counts less than 50 cells/

Journal: Opsonization-independent antigen-specific recognition by myeloid phagocytes expressing monoclonal antibodies. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 10, 2024 A first cloned B-VIREM-derived antibody (Vab1) specifically binds stomatin, a ubiquitous scaffold protein that is strictly expressed intracellularly, allowing Vab1-bearing macrophages to phagocytose cell debris without requiring prior opsonization. Our results suggest important antigen-specific tissue maintenance functionalities in these innate immune cells.

Is the U=U status maintained after switching to a dual regimen? The answer from the Icona cohort Study (Limatambo 2/Channel 2) - Aug 9, 2024 - Abstract #HIVR4P2024HIVR4P_61; We included PWH in the ICONA cohort who had reached a U=U status as of January 2014 while on triple therapy and were subsequently switched to dolutegravir(DTG)+lamivudine(3TC), DTG+rilpivirine(RPV) or darunavir/boosted(DRV/b)+3TC therapy. Our findings confirm a low risk of losing U=U after switching to 2DR, regardless of the type of therapy used.

Journal: Dolutegravir Resistance in African Programmatic Settings Among Patients With Failure of Dolutegravir-based ART. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 1, 2024 Prospective research is needed to understand the scope of the problem, identify additional risk factors, and determine best management. In the short term, for most patients with dolutegravir resistance and prior non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor exposure, the best option will be a timely switch to a regimen anchored by a boosted protease inhibitor, with a high genetic barrier to resistance.

Journal: Comparing the adsorption of micropollutants on activated carbon from anaerobically stored, organics-depleted, and nitrified urine. (Pubmed Central) - May 27, 2024 In addition, we showed that the relative pharmaceutical removal in all solutions was independent of the initial pharmaceutical concentration unless the background organics matrix changed considerably. We conclude that removal of micropollutants in GAC columns from organics-depleted urine can be performed without clogging, but with the drawback of a higher carbon usage compared to removal from nitrified urine.

- |||||||||| Estimated Costs of Eliminating Medicaid Prior Authorizations for Antiretrovirals in Washington State (Poster hall) - Mar 16, 2024 - Abstract #CROI2024CROI_544;
PrEP models assumed a 10% annual increase in the number of PrEP users and evaluated the impact of annual declines in the relative percentage of PrEP users on TDF/FTC with compensatory increases in TAF/FTC use; some models assumed the percentage of PrEP users on cabotegravir (CAB) would increase 1% annually...Our No PA Model assumed: 1) 18% annual relative increase in the percentage of PLWH on bictegravir/TAF/FTC; 2) the percentage of people on tenofovir/FTC taking TAF/FTC (vs. TDF/FTC) increases 9% annually; 3) CAB/rilpivirine increases 1% annually; 4) no change in darunavir/cobisistat; and 5) use of other ART drugs decline in proportion to their 2022 use...Elimination of Medicaid PAs will likely result in substantial new costs. Changes in drug formulary policy should consider opportunity costs.
