Integrase Inhibitors Do Not Increase Cardiovascular Event Risk in HIV Patients

This article discusses a significant study presented at the 19th European AIDS Conference (EACS 2023), held in Warsaw, Poland, from October 18-20, 2023. Professor Bernard Surial from the University of Bern in Switzerland shared the results of an international cohort study, which revealed that the use of integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) in the treatment of HIV does not increase the risk of cardiovascular events.

Dr. Biao Zhu: Common Comorbidities in HIV Patients and Their Antiretroviral Therapy

Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) has greatly reduced the mortality associated with HIV, the morbidity of non-AIDS-related complications associated with HIV remains high. Therefore, it is crucial to understand and assess clinical decision factors for adjusting ART in the context of suppressed HIV RNA. At the recently concluded 12th International AIDS Society HIV Science Conference ( IAS 2023), Dr. A. Cozzi-Lepri of University College London reported a study (Abstract number: EPB0169) that analyzed and evaluated the risk of ART switches in the context of common comorbidities combined with HIV and suppressed HIV RNA. This journal specially invited Dr. Biao Zhu from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, China, to provide a brilliant review of this research.
