Current and accurate information about the occurrence of opportunistic infections in HIV-infected adults is critical for developing more effective treatments and interventions. However, few studies have been conducted in Ethiopia on the prevalence of common opportunistic infections in HIV-infected adults. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and predictors of opportunistic infections among HIV-infected adults receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) at the comprehensive specialized hospital affiliated with the University of Gondar.<b>Methods:</b> Between January 11, 2015, and January 10, 2021, a retrospective cohort study was conducted at the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital. A total of 715 HIV-infected adults on ART were included in the study. Data were extracted from the charts of HIV-infected adults using a data extraction form adapted from the ART entry and follow-up forms. Epi-dataTM Version 4.5 was used to enter data, and StataTM Version 16 was used to analyze the data. The time interval between opportunistic infections was estimated using the Kaplan Meier survival curve. To identify risk predictors of opportunistic infections, bivariate and multivariate semi-parametric and parametric regression models were fitted.<b>Result:</b> This study included the records of 715 HIV-infected adults-initiated ART between January 11, 2015, to January 10, 2021.

Materials and methods: This was a longitudinal study that enrolled virologically-suppressed patients on stable 3-drug ART who switched at baseline to dolutegravir + lamivudine (2DR-group), based on the clinician’s decision, or maintained triple therapy (3DR-group). Subjects in the 3DR-group were matched with those in the 2DR-group for age, gender and type of anchor drug. Plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), I-FABP, D-dimer and C-reactive protein (CRP) were quantified by a microfluidic ultrasensitive ELISA assay at baseline and at 48 weeks. Results: Overall 208 subjects were enrolled: 101 in the 2DR-group and 107 in the 3DR-group. At baseline, biomarker levels were comparable between groups. The differences in mean log10 change from baseline to 48 weeks between groups (2DR versus 3DR) were: IL-6 (pg/L) −0.051(95% CI −0.115/0.009) versus 0.004 (95% CI −0.046/0.054) (p = 0.159); I-FABP (pg/mL), −0.088 (95% CI −0.14/-0.041) versus 0.033 (95%CI −0.007/0.072) (p < 0.001); D-dimer (pg/mL), −0.011(95% CI-0.055/0.033) versus −0.021 (95% CI −0.071/0.030) (p = 0.780) and CRP (pg/mL), −0.028 (95%CI −0.118/0.063) versus 0.118 (95% CI 0.024/0.211) (p = 0.028).

Methods: For this prospective study, conducted during 2017–2019, we enrolled HIV-1-infected, virologically suppressed adults undergoing TDF-containing combination antiretroviral therapy. Patients were separated into a late-switching group (LSG) and an early-switching group (ESG). The LSG included patients having an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decrease ≥25% from the pretreatment level or Fanconi syndrome. The ESG included patients having ≥2 of the following indicators of PRT: fractional excretion of phosphate (FEUP) ≥10%, low tubular maximum reabsorption of phosphate (TmP)/GFR, or uricosuria; fractional uric acid excretion ≥10%; urine protein–creatinine index (UPCI) ≥500 mg/g creatinine, normoglycemic glycosuria, or decrease in eGFR of 15%–24%. Recovery of proximal tubular function at 6 and 12 months after TDF discontinuation was assessed. Complete recovery was defined as normalization of all abnormal tubular markers. Results: Thirty-three HIV-infected patients were enrolled (70% male). Except for tubular function markers, baseline characteristics were not significantly different between the two groups. The proportion of patients having complete recovery was significantly higher in the ESG (p = 0.007, log-rank test). FEUP improved significantly in the ESG after TDF discontinuation; improvements of eGFR and UPCI were greater in the LSG. An eGFR change of 10% from baseline was the only independent predictor of failure to achieve complete recovery after switching. After median follow-up of 2.25 years post-trial, sustained recovery of eGFR within 5% of pre-TDF eGFR was achieved only in the ESG.

Recruitment occurred through HIV treatment clinics and community organizations in San Diego. Participants completed questionnaires on religiosity, spirituality, and psychosocial functioning.

Demographic and psychosocial variables were unrelated to religiously/spirituality among HIV-negative individuals. Among PWH, multiple linear regression models indicated higher daily spirituality was significantly associated with racial/ethnic minority membership (Hispanic/Latino, African American/Black, or Other), fewer years of estimated duration of HIV, greater social support, and higher grit. Greater engagement in private religious practices was significantly associated with racial/ethnic minority membership and higher social support.</p><p><p><b>Conclusions:</b> For PWH, being a racial/ethnic minority and having higher social support was associated with greater engagement in religious/spiritual practices. Future longitudinal studies should examine whether religion/spirituality impacts well-being across the lifespan among racial/ethnic minority groups of PWH.</p>","PeriodicalId":13165,"journal":{"name":"HIV Research & Clinical Practice","volume":"23 1","pages":"91-98"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10243211/pdf/nihms-1853480.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9999834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
