Staging of immuno-virological dynamics during acute HIV infection in a Belgian prospective cohort study
Background
The events during acute HIV infection (AHI) set the stage for the subsequent course of the disease. Early initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been associated with favorable immunovirological outcomes, yet the precise impact of ART timing during AHI remains unclear, particularly on lymphoid tissues.
Materials and methods
The ACS cohort is a prospective cohort study in Belgium, collecting longitudinal clinical data and human bodily material (HBM) from people diagnosed and treated during AHI. The aim of the cohort is to study the impact of ART initiation during AHI on HIV reservoir and immune dysfunction in peripheral blood and anatomical sanctuary sites, as well as its effect on the gut microbiome. The cohort consists of two HBM sampling trajectories: one limited (blood, stool and leukapheresis) and a more extensive one (blood, stool, leukapheresis, colonoscopy, inguinal lymph node excision and lumbar puncture). Here we describe the baseline characteristics, immunovirological outcomes, safety and tolerability of HBM sampling.
Results
Between March 2016 and April 2024, 47 participants were enrolled, predominantly men who have sex with men (MSM), with a median age of 36 years [IQR 30–43.5]. Almost 90 % of participants initiated ART within 72 h after study inclusion, irrespective of HBM sampling trajectory. The timing of ART initiation according to the Fiebig stage did not significantly impact immune recovery (CD4/CD8 ratio ≥1) or the time to viral suppression. Approximately 40 % of participants opted for the extensive HBM sampling trajectory during AHI. However, the participation rate for the extensive trajectory decreased by nearly half at the longitudinal follow-up timepoint. In general, study-related procedures were safe and well-tolerated, with limited procedure-related adverse events (AEs). Inguinal lymph node excision was associated with the highest AE rate, in line with previous reports.
Conclusions
Our findings reaffirm the beneficial effect of ART initiation during AHI on long term immunovirological outcomes, regardless of Fiebig stage at treatment initiation. Additionally, we demonstrate that the collection of HBM during and longitudinally after AHI is safe and feasible, without compromising time to ART initiation. Cohorts that integrate comprehensive clinical data with high-quality HBM samples are essential to longitudinally study the impact of early ART on reservoir dynamics and immune responses across various anatomical sites after AHI.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Virus Eradication aims to provide a specialist, open-access forum to publish work in the rapidly developing field of virus eradication. The Journal covers all human viruses, in the context of new therapeutic strategies, as well as societal eradication of viral infections with preventive interventions.
The Journal is aimed at the international community involved in the prevention and management of viral infections. It provides an academic forum for the publication of original research into viral reservoirs, viral persistence and virus eradication and ultimately development of cures.
The Journal not only publishes original research, but provides an opportunity for opinions, reviews, case studies and comments on the published literature. It focusses on evidence-based medicine as the major thrust in the successful management of viral infections.The Journal encompasses virological, immunological, epidemiological, modelling, pharmacological, pre-clinical and in vitro, as well as clinical, data including but not limited to drugs, immunotherapy and gene therapy. It is an important source of information on the development of vaccine programs and preventative measures aimed at virus eradication.
