The Interrelationship Between HIV Infection and COVID-19: A Review of the Literature
Curr HIV Res. 2023 Dec 27. doi: 10.2174/011570162X282739231222062830. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulting from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to significant morbidity and mortality in patients and put a strain on healthcare systems worldwide. The clinical characteristics and results of COVID-19 in immunosuppressed patients, such as people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH), considered at higher risk of severe disease, are not well-characterized. Accumulated evidence indicates that COVID-19 and the human immunodefici...

Discordance of Aqueous/Plasma HIV Replication on ART
CONCLUSION: This study provides a rationale for initiating ART early in the course of infection to reduce HIV VL in the aqueous humor, and raises the possibility of the ocular sanctuary where HIV replicates. Meanwhile, early and standard ART would be an optimal option to protect against ocular opportunistic infection.PMID:38151835 | DOI:10.2174/011570162X268730231212112119 (Source: Current HIV Research)

Older PLHIV are at Higher Cardiovascular risk with Poor Quality of Life
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, older PLHIV in Bihar, India, face higher CVD risk compared to younger PLHIV and non-HIV individuals. FRS and Q-Risk scores effectively assessed CVD risk, identifying higher risk in older PLHIV. Age and BMI were significant predictors of high CVD risk. These findings emphasize CVD risk assessment and tailored management for older PLHIV. The QoL assessment findings indicate moderate deterioration in psychological, social relations, and spirituality domains among older PLHIV individuals. These results suggest greater challenges in psychological well-being, social interactions, and spirituality compa...

Prevalence of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) among People Living with HIV in Tehran, Iran
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of ED is relatively high among men living with HIV. Future research is recommended among HIV-positive males to identify the underlying causes and explore the potential impact that associated psychological distress could have on sexual dysfunction.PMID:38058094 | DOI:10.2174/011570162X270146231205105957 (Source: Current HIV Research)
