1. Dolutegravir (DTG) is a key drug used to treat human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infections. Adverse events (AEs) of DTG treatment, including headache, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and abnormal dreams, are influenced by sex, body weight, age, and serum bilirubin levels.

Background: Dual regimen dolutegravir/lamivudine (DOL/3TC) showed potent efficacy and favourable safety in both antiretroviral therapy-naïve and -experienced patients, but data from real life about naive people with high-level viremia are still lacking.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of people living with HIV (PLWH) who were naive to antiretroviral therapy, had baseline HIV-1 RNA ranging from 100000 to 500000 copies/mL, and initated DOL/3TC. Virological efficacy and changes in immunological parameters after 12 months of treatment were evaluated and compared with highly viremic PLWH who started a triple antiretroviral combination.

With the availability of free antiretroviral therapy (ART) across India, HIV in adults has become a chronic disease with prolonged survival. The emergence of various non-communicable diseases in these prolonged survivors is a cause of concern. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in adults with HIV infection in India has not been explored to date.

Background: There are limited data on DTG-associated weight gain among treatment-naïve Asian people living with HIV (PLHIV).
Methods: Eighty-one and 100 PLHIV initiating DTG-based and efavirenz (EFV)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART), respectively, were retrospectively investigated for weight changes and lipid profiles at 6 and 12 months after ART initiation.
Results: At baseline, the DTG group had a lower mean body weight (BW) (60.

Weight gain among persons with HIV PWH) on contemporary antiretroviral therapy (ART) can extend beyond an initial return-to-health phenomenon and lead to overweight/obesity in the first 1 to 2 years, resulting in enhanced cardiometabolic risk. Factors that may contribute to increased weight gain include specific ART regimens (those initiating dolutegravir and tenofovir alafenamide or withdrawing tenofovir disoproxil and efavirenz), women with HIV, and certain virologic factors including lower baseline CD4 count and higher HIV viral load. Weight reduction starting at 5% body weight confers metabolic protection, such as improved hypertension and dysglycemia.
