Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines the health issues faced by HIV-infected transwomen compared to HIV-infected cisgender men, focusing on metabolic syndrome, thyroid, and adrenal functions.
  • - Results showed that while the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was similar between the two groups, transwomen had significantly higher rates of subclinical hypothyroidism (12% vs. 3%) and adrenal insufficiency (20% vs. 8%).
  • - The findings indicate that although hormonal consumption was common among transwomen, it did not affect antiretroviral drug effectiveness; however, regular assessment of thyroid and adrenal functions is recommended for this population.

Objectives: To evaluate the dolutegravir+lamivudine combination in virologically suppressed patients living with HIV.

Methods: The ANRS 167 LAMIDOL trial was an open-label, single arm, multicentre trial assessing once-daily dolutegravir (50 mg)+lamivudine (300 mg) in virologically suppressed HIV-1 patients on first-line triple-drug regimens. The main criteria for inclusion in the trial were plasma viral load (pVL) ≤50 copies/mL for ≥2 years, CD4 nadir >200 cells/mm3 and WT HIV prior to treatment initiation.

Being a migrant from Sub-Saharan Africa, having difficult socio-economic conditions, having unprotected sex with one's main partner and concealing one's HIV status were all factors statistically associated with concern about the sentences.
