The predictive value of HIV-related factors and traditional cardiovascular factors with PAH is inconsistent across studies. The objective is to determine the roles of HIV-related risk factors and traditional cardiovascular risk factors in the development of PAH in adults with HIV. We searched Pubmed/Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to identify studies published between January 1, 2000 and February 23, 2021 on risk factors associated with PAH among people living with HIV (PLWH). Ten studies were included for final analysis. PLWH with PAH had higher mean age (weighted mean difference [WMD] = 2.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.31 ~ 4.24), and lower mean CD4 cell count (WMD = -95.8, 95% CI -153.41 ~ -38.2). Meanwhile, they were more likely to have detectable viral load (odds ratio [OR] = 1.36, 95% CI 1.16 ~ 1.60), to accompany arterial hypertension (OR = 2.02, 95% CI 1.51 ~ 2.71) and less likely to receive antiretroviral therapy (ART) (OR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.72 ~ 0.99). Besides, more intravenous drug users were observed in HIV-infected adults with PAH (OR = 2.25, 95% CI 1.51 ~ 3.33). HIV infection itself and ART impact PAH in two opposite ways. Traditional cardiovascular factors such as arterial hypertension, and older age are also important to the development of PAH.

Evidence suggests that the mechanisms of viral control in these individuals are heterogeneous. In this review, we highlight the viral and host factors, particularly host immunological and immunogenetic factors that are associated with controller status. Despite the broad heterogeneity within controllers, there is compelling evidence that cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocyte responses act as the main driver of control in the majority of these individuals, especially in those with protective HLA-I alleles. Further investigation of controllers without protective HLA-I alleles is required as it seems that this subset exhibits more durable control of HIV-1 disease progression. Understanding the immune defense mechanisms in controllers provides hope for harnessing these responses in the general population, either for protective or therapeutic vaccines or to achieve a functional cure in infected individuals.</p>","PeriodicalId":7685,"journal":{"name":"AIDS reviews","volume":"24 2","pages":"51-58"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39815820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An increase in the prevalence of obesity has also been observed among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in high and low incomes countries. Antiretroviral therapy (ART), by controlling the viral load (VL) and restoring cellular immunity, has improved the health status and life expectancy in PLHIV. However, the risk of developing non-AIDS events (NAEs) remains higher than the general population. Therefore, specific attention is given to managing risk factors associated with NAEs during the follow-up of PLHIV, including obesity. Factors related to weight gain in PLHIV include demographic factors, HIV disease-related factors, and ART-associated factors. In naive PLHIV, weight gain after the initiation of ART is expected. The weight gains observed are generally not severe even if there appear to be risk factors such as the advanced stage of disease (low CD4 cells count and high VL), female sex, black race, and taking integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI) associated or not with tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF). The role of each antiretroviral drug per-se remains to clarify. As INSTI ± TAF has been associated with significant weight gain, further research is needed to identify the individual-level factors predictive of weight gain, the mechanisms of ART-associated weight gain and the clinical relevance of this weight gain.
