Due to the increased burden of non-AIDS-related comorbidities in people living with HIV (PLHIV), identifying biomarkers and mechanisms underlying premature aging and the risk of developing age-related comorbidities is a priority. Evidence suggests that the plasma proteome is an accurate source for measuring biological age and predicting age-related clinical outcomes. To investigate whether PLHIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) exhibit a premature aging phenotype, we profiled the plasma proteome of two independent cohorts of virally suppressed PLHIV (200HIV and 2000HIV) and one cohort of people without HIV (200FG) using O-link technology.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic influenced population-level immune responses through infections, lockdowns, and vaccination efforts, potentially impacting various immune-mediated diseases.
  • In a study of 1,895 asymptomatic individuals living with HIV, researchers assessed how these factors modified inflammatory profiles and immune responses between October 2019 and October 2021.
  • Results showed that while mild COVID-19 infections had minimal long-term immune effects, lockdowns significantly increased immune responsiveness, and vaccinations moderately reduced it, suggesting lockdowns may have unexpected immunological consequences that warrant further investigation.

Objectives: Psychiatric symptoms occur frequently in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH), which may affect quality of life, sexual risk behavior, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Data from large cohorts are limited, and symptoms are often analyzed in isolation. Therefore, we applied a network analysis to assess the interrelatedness of mental health indicators in a large cohort of PLWH.

Background: Insights into the mechanisms driving metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in people living with HIV (PLHIV) remain limited. Plasma proteomics holds promise for biomarker discovery and the elucidation of biological mechanisms.

Methods: We performed cross-sectional analyses on data from 1036 virally suppressed PLHIV using antiretroviral treatment (ART) from the Dutch multi-centre 2000HIV cohort.

Background: We aimed to compare the non-AIDS events (nADE) risk between normal progressors using ART (NP-ART) and people with HIV (PWH) that naturally control HIV infection (HIV controllers), as well as the outcomes after ART in HIV controllers on nADE.

Methods: The primary endpoint was major nADE defined as the composite of cardiovascular disease, non-AIDS malignancy or all-cause mortality, whichever came first..
