Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) reduced the incidence of Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS), mainly mediated by the suppression of HIV replication and the recovery of the immune system. The effect of specific classes of antiretrovirals on KS remains unclear. However, both in vitro and clinical studies
BACKGROUND
Protease inhibitor monotherapy is associated with more frequent episodes of viral rebounds above 50 copies/mL than triple therapy.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate if, compared to triple-drug therapy, protease inhibitor monotherapy is associated with increased levels of inflammatory/procoagulant
BACKGROUND
An association of persistent low level viremia (LLV) below 500 copies/mL and a higher risk of therapy failure is still point of controversial discussion. Furthermore, it seems that LLV occurs more frequently in patients with protease-inhibitor regimens than in NNRTI- / or
BACKGROUND
Viremia copy-years (VCY) has been reported as a short-term predictor of mortality. We evaluated the association of this parameter with 10-year outcome within the APROCO-COPILOTE cohort.
METHODS
Prospective data from 1281 HIV-1-infected patients who started a first protease
To understand the pathogenesis of low level viraemia (LLV) in HIV-infected patients on boosted protease inhibitors (PI/b), we enrolled 34 subjects with a median HIV-RNA 79 copies/mL and followed them for 15 months. Samples for next generation sequencing were collected at three time-points. Two
The impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors on hepatitis C (HCV) viremia was assessed in 19 patients infected with both HIV and HCV. HIV and HCV RNA levels were measured before and during treatment with protease inhibitors. Before treatment, mean levels of HCV RNA were 5.3
BACKGROUND
Increased levels of markers of systemic inflammation have been associated with serious non-AIDS events even in patients on fully suppressive antiretroviral therapy. We explored residual viremia and systemic inflammation markers in patients effectively treated with ritonavir-boosted
BACKGROUND
Intermittent episodes of detectable human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viremia (hereafter referred to as "blips") are generally not predictive of subsequent virologic failure. Limited data are available for patients treated with nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based
Background: HIV persistence despite therapy contributes to chronic immune activation and inflammation, increasing the risk of aging-associated events in HIV-infected individuals.Objectives: To better understand the complex link between clinical and treatment features and HIV
BACKGROUND
In HIV-infected patients on first-line antiretroviral therapy, the significance of intermittent viremia and their relationship with drug resistance remain unclear.
OBJECTIVE
To study the virological characteristics of intermittent viremia (IV) and the association between IV and later
Genotypic correlates of reduced phenotypic susceptibility to amprenavir (APV) and lopinavir (LPV) were examined in 271 HIV isolates from 207 protease inhibitor (PI)-experienced subjects. All samples were from LPV-naive subjects; two were from APV-experienced subjects. Using a fold resistance (FR) of
When fully suppressive regimens are not available, incompletely suppressive regimens also provide immunologic benefits. In this study, with stable background therapy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients who were randomized to receive atazanavir or boosted atazanavir, compared with
When antiretroviral treatment suppresses HIV RNA levels to below 50 copies/ml, traces of viremia may still be detected with more sensitive assays. In the ARTEMIS trial, 689 antiretroviral treatment-naive patients were randomized to tenofovir/emtricitabine plus either darunavir/ritonavir (n = 343) or
