Brief communications: changes in inflammatory biomarkers and lipid profiles after switching to long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine
AIDS Res Ther. 2024 Jan 3;21(1):1. doi: 10.1186/s12981-023-00590-4.ABSTRACTWe assessed whether the impact of cabotegravir plus rilpivirine on inflammation reduction differs from that of oral antiretrovirals, using real-world data. Inflammatory biomarkers and lipid profiles were followed from baseline to 8 months after switching. Seventy-eight participants were analyzed. The CD4/CD8 ratio and C-reactive protein did not change. There were transient decreases in CD8 and CD4 counts in the group that switched from the dolutegravir-based regimen, but not in the tenofovir alafenamide-based regimen group. High-density lipoprotein ...

Adolescent's and youth's adherence to antiretroviral therapy for better treatment outcome and its determinants: multi-center study in public health facilities
CONCLUSION: The adherence rate in this study was low which is below the recommended adherence level. Being female, taking additional medication beside ART and presence of opportunistic infection were determinants of adherence. As a result, significant work must be done on opportunistic infection prevention through health education and promotion for screening and risk reduction. Similarly, adolescents and youths service integration with the ART Clinic is strongly advised.PMID:38115098 | PMC:PMC10729566 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-023-00588-y (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)
