A Qualitative Exploration of Perceived Medication Adherence Determinants Conducted Among Older Adults With HIV and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Identifying and comparing perceived determinants of medication adherence for HIV and, separately, for T2DM, and exploring how participants prioritize conditions...
Although many determinants of medication adherence for T2DM may be similar to those for HIV infection, HCPs should explore the possibility that motivations to take medications may differ by condition.
Virologic Outcomes of Antiretroviral Therapy in Patients With HIV-1 Following Bariatric Surgery: a Case Series and Review of the Literature
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37933455/
There were no deleterious effects on HIV progression for PLWH that underwent bariatric surgery. More prospective research is required to validate the effects of bariatric surgery on immunologic and virologic...
In this case series, no deleterious effects on HIV progression were seen for people living with HIV who underwent bariatric surgery.
Comparison of Dolutegravir + Lamivudine and Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide in Antiretroviral Therapy-Naive Patients Infected With HIV: Preliminary Results From Clinical Practice
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37927079/
Both optimization strategies showed high tolerability in antiretroviral therapy-naive patients, with no differences in virological efficacy; however, BIC/FTC/TAF may be related to the risk of weight gain risk. Further research...
After 48 weeks, no differences in virologic/immunologic efficacy was seen with patients taking DTG/3TC and BIC/FTC/TAF. However, compared with DTG/3TC, combination BIC/FTC/TAF may lead to greater weight gain.
Immunological Responses in SARS-CoV-2 and HIV Co-Infection Versus SARS-CoV-2 Mono-Infection: Case Report of the Interplay Between SARS-CoV-2 and HIV

There is an urgent need to understand the interplay between SARS-CoV-2 and HIV to inform risk-mitigation approaches for HIV-infected individuals. Objectives We conclude that people living with HIV (PLWH) who...
HIV-associated immune dysregulation in viremic individuals may negatively impact vaccine-induced cellular immunity.
Investigating Coping and Stigma in People Living With HIV Through Narrative Medicine in the Italian Multicentre Non-Interventional Study DIAMANTE
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-44768-2
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) significantly reduced Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) morbidity and mortality; nevertheless, stigma still characterises the living with this condition. This study explored patients' coping experience by integrating narrative...
Treatment plays a crucial role in reassuring patients about their health status, their risk of death, and the risk of being no longer infectious for their partners. The relationship with the treating clinician was perceived to be pivotal even at the first visit.
