Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the prevalence of measles antibodies among adults living with HIV in France, focusing on those born after the measles vaccine was introduced.
- Conducted between April 2019 and April 2020, it involved 648 participants, finding that 87.2% had positive measles serology, but only 81.8% of vaccinated individuals tested positive.
- Key factors associated with a lack of measles antibodies included younger age, being born in France, and having fewer social vulnerabilities, highlighting the need for better vaccination tracking in this population.
Aims: Polypharmacy increase the risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in the elderly population living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Several expert databases can be used to evaluate DDIs. The aim of the study was to describe actual DDIs between antiretroviral drugs and comedications in an elderly population and to compare grading of the DDIs in 3 databases.

- A study examined whether women continue to show better immune responses than men after starting long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV, based on data from the ANRS PRIMO cohort.
- Results revealed that women had lower viral loads compared to men before starting ART and achieved viral suppression more quickly; they also demonstrated faster immune recovery as indicated by increases in CD4 T-cell counts.
- Ultimately, the findings underscore the importance of early HIV diagnosis and immediate ART initiation, suggesting that women's advantages in immune recovery persist over time, potentially offering more protection against clinical complications.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the needs and expectations of HIV patients to develop a therapeutic education program for better patient care.
- A combination of qualitative interviews and a quantitative questionnaire was used, involving 351 patients from Nantes and Angers, with a majority being men and an average age of 45.7.
- Key findings indicated patients felt generally satisfied with their treatment discussions and nursing availability, but many lacked knowledge about HIV-related complications and felt emotionally isolated, highlighting areas for improved communication and support.
