Current research indicates that endometriosis may in be associated with risk of systemic lupus erythematosus, and potentially other autoimmune diseases.

This article aims to provide an updated review of the most recent data around hormonal contraceptives and anti-retroviral therapy.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>Prior data have suggested possible pharmacologic interactions between certain hormonal contraceptives and anti-retroviral therapy. The most significant interactions implicated include those between progestin-based contraceptive implants and efavirenz as well as between combined hormonal contraceptives and protease inhibitors. Most past studies, however, feature small sample sizes with few clinical outcomes reported.</p><p><strong>Summary: </strong>Recent data since 2017 have largely affirmed prior studies on this topic, showing possible pharmacokinetic relationships between certain contraceptives and anti-retrovirals. Notably, while the effectiveness of progestin-based contraceptives, specifically the implant, appears reduced with efavirenz use, the overall effectiveness may remain higher than most other contraceptive methods.
