Weight Gain During HIV Treatment and the Latest in HIV Prevention - a podcast by Clinical Care Options
from 2022-05-04T05:02:30.486708
In this episode, Dr. Gandhi discusses topline results from several studies investigating weight gain and metabolic outcomes with different antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens among patients with HIV, including lipid level changes, cardiovascular disease risk, diabetes risk, and metabolic syndrome risk. The overview will include analyses from:
- The ADVANCE trial comparing initial ART with DTG plus FTC/TAF, DTG plus FTC/TDF, or EFV/FTC/TDF, including an examination of the influence of CYP2B6 polymorphisms on weight change during EFV-based therapy
- The NA-ACCORD study
- Evaluating patients with virologic suppression who switched from non–integrase inhibitor (INSTI)–based regimens to INSTI-based regimens
- Investigating the impact of initial ART regimen class on diabetes mellitus incidence
- A study investigating the association between resting metabolic rate, oxygen consumption, and dietary intake changes and body weight/composition changes following ART initiation
- A study evaluating differences in postpartum weight change with DTG-based vs EFV-based ART
In addition, Dr. Gandhi reviews new information on biomedical prevention of HIV infection, including results from several preclinical trials, a study investigating real-time urine-based testing for tenofovir levels, and the latest safety data from the phase III DISCOVER trial comparing FTC/TDF vs FTC/TAF for daily oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among cis-gender men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women.
