Research paper thumbnail of Lipoprotein Profile in Immunological Non-Responders PLHIV after Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation

Of interest, in people living with HIV (PLHIV), predictors of preclinical atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction may be associated with impaired immune function. We previously stated that immunological non-responders (INR) were at higher CV risk than immunological responders (IR) before starting antiretroviral therapy (ART). Using Liposcale® tests, we characterized the lipoprotein profile from the same cohort of PLHIV at month 12 and month 36 after starting ART, intending to explore what happened with these indicators of CV risk during viral suppression. ART initiation dissipates the differences in lipoprotein-based CV risk markers between INR and IR, and only an increase in the number of HDL-P was found in INR + IR when compared to controls (p = 0.047).

Ninety six posmenopausal women with osteopenia (WHO classification) in lumbar spine or femoral neck measured by DEXA (table 1) were included in 4 therapeutic groups: Group I (n:19): 17 beta-Estradiol 50 micrograms daily transdermally/medroxiprogesterone 2.5 mg orally per day; Group II (n:42): alendronate 10 mg/day orally; Group III (n:15): HRT + alendronate 10 mg/day and Group IV (n:20): HTR + alendronate 5 mg/day. After 12 month treatment, lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) significantly increased to 3.6%; 4.1%; 6.5% y 3.1% in group I to IV, respectively (p < 0.01; figure 1).

Despite their demonstrated efficacy, tolerability and resistance issues could lead to a treatment change. The objective of the NEXT study was to evaluate the reasons for switching an initial non-nucleoside based regimen in the clinical setting, and the alternative regimen selected. Methods A retrospective multicentre study was undertaken between April and October 2009. Patients from 38 Spanish centres who had changed the initial EFV or NVP-based regimen in the previous six-month period were included. Social-demographic and HIVrelated data was collected from medical records. Responsible physicians were interviewed about reasons for switching the nonnucleoside and the alternative regimen of choice.
