Comorbidity and Aging With HIV

In this prospective cohort study the investigators will assess the prevalence and incidence of a broad range of age-related co-morbidities and their (known) risk factor among HIV-patients and HIV-negative controls. HIV might cause premature onset or accelerated aging and could therefore result in an increase of age-related comorbidities when compared with controls.

Metformin and Systemic Inflammation in HIV

The purposes of this study are to find out if: metformin can be combined with anti-HIV drugs to reduce systemic inflammation measured by the determination of cytokines and other series of serum markers. To determine if the concomitant administration of metformin with TARA improves the immune function on the CD4 T cell count and its relation with the CD8 T cells, during the treatment and after its interruption. To this end, in the present study, patients with prediabetes (who meet the fasting impaired glucose criteria) will be identified and treated with metformin or placebo for 8 weeks, receiving stable TARA and with a CD4 + level> 200 cells / ?L. 40 patients from the HIV Unit of the Civil Hospital of Guadalajara "Fray Antonio Alcalde" will be included in this study and the intervention will last 8 weeks.

Italian Registry of HIV-1 Infected Patients With Drug-RESistant Virus to Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, InteGrasE and Viral Protease.

The PRESTIGIO Registry is an Observational, prospective, multicentre study that includes patients, regularly followed by Italian Infectious Disease Centres, with HIV-1 infection and documented resistance to the 4 classes of antiretroviral drugs: nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI), protease inhibitors (PI), and integrase inhibitors (INSTI). Main objective of this register is to evaluate in the study population: the long-term effectiveness of different antiretroviral regimes; evolution of the genotype and phenotypic susceptibility of antiretroviral drugs used in patients with virological failure; mortality; incidence of opportunistic AIDS-related infections and chronic conditions (comorbidity); determinants of clinical outcomes including virological/immunological/inflammatory markers. antiretroviral therapy (ART) compliance and health assessments; drug-economy indications related to the clinical management of this complex sub-population.

Self-testing for HCV Re-infection in MSM

HIV+MSM (men who have sex with men) that have been cured of a hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) are at risk for HCV re-infection (5-10% per year). One intervention to reduce HCV incidence in this population may be to decrease the time to diagnosis of HCV re-infections in order to decrease the duration that these re-infected patients may transmit their HCV to sex partners. Diagnosis of HCV re-infection is followed by counseling on transmission risk in combination with prompt initiation of HCV therapy, which will prevent new HCV infections on the population level. In this study the investigators evaluate the effect and feasibility of more frequent and home-based testing for HCV on the time to diagnosis and treatment of HCV re-infections.

Neurocognitive Function Improvement After Switching From Efavirenz to Rilpivirine

People living with HIV in the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART) continue to suffer high rates of neurocognitive disorder. This is a randomized control trial aiming to evaluate improvement of neurocognitive function after switching efavirenz (EFV) to rilpivirine (RPV). EFV based regimen is currently the first line ART in Thailand. There are several reports suggested that HIV-infected patients who took EFV based regimen had poorer neurocognitive function compared to the comparator. RPV, another first line regimen, has been known to have less neuropsychiatric side effects. We hypothesized that switching EFV to RPV could improve neurocognitive function.

Real Life Study of Dolutegravir Plus Lamivudine in HIV-1-Infected Treatment-Naive Patients

Thanks to the actual highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) patients living with HIV have a better life expectancy, becoming chronical patients. Today's antiretroviral treatment (ART) must be maintained for life to prevent disease progression until a cure is reached. Given this need, ARTs are becoming safer and more effective but are still toxic. Cause of that simplification therapies are real, reducing the number of different Antiretrovirals involved controlling the infection. This strategies include from monotherapy using/with protease inhibitors (PI), which was investigated with treatment-experienced patients and virologically suppressed, to dual therapies which recently were investigated in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients with combinations such as dolutegravir (DTG) plus lamivudine (3TC), Dolutegravir plus rilpivirine or rilpivirine plus darunavir/ritonavir boosted. Nowadays dual therapy in real life (not into the context of a clinical trial) with dolutegravir plus lamivudine is largely studied in treatment-experienced patients who are virologically suppressed and got nearly a 100% efficacy results. Recently published results from clinical trials in treatment-naïve patients GEMINI 1 &2, where efficacy of the dual therapy with DTG 50mg plus 3TC 300mg/QD was compared versus the efficacy of triple therapy with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, emtricitabine and dolutegravir (TDF/FTC+ DTG) (QD). Both trials show similar efficacy results, with virologic suppression higher than 90% at week 48. Clinical trials are the gold standard to approve and add to the clinical practice new drugs and new therapies, but is also known that have some inconvenient like strict inclusion-exclusion criteria which put the study population far from being a real sample. Studies with real world data (RWD) have several strengths such as quality in medical attention and works like a bridge between clinical trials and standard clinical care, reducing/lowering general costs, improving results and accelerating the generation of knowledge. For all the reasons above, the primary objective of this study is to analyze in treatment-naïve HIV patients the effectiveness in real life of 3TC (300 mg p.o. q 24 h) plus DTG (50 mg p.o. q 24 h). Secondary objectives are: to describe the patient who receive this dual therapy, to quantify the time gap between the clinic visit and the first dose of dual therapy administrated evaluating this dual therapy as candidate to "test and treat" therapies; to analyze the viral load drop and the increase of cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) T lymphocytes levels; To analyze virological failures and previous mutations influence in basal resistance tests; and finally a pharmacoeconomic analysis, safety of the treatment and adherence to the healthcare system.
