CROI 2024: Metabolic and Other Complications of HIV Infection.

Comorbid conditions have a major impact on the health, quality of life, and survival of people with HIV (PWH), particularly as they age. The 2024 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) featured many excellent reports related to specific comorbidities, most notably cardiovascular disease, cancer, fatty liver disease, and hypertension. Major themes included hypertension management strategies used in low- and middle-income countries, important insights from the REPRIEVE (Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV) study that focused on cardiometabolic outcomes, studies investigating metabolic-associated fatty liver disease, and the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in PWH. This review focuses on the abstracts presented at CROI 2024 that discussed these areas, highlighting those with the most clinical impact.
