Purpose Of The Review: This review summarizes current knowledge on central nervous system (CNS) considerations in ART simplification strategies.
Recent Findings: Antiretroviral therapies (ART) showing efficacy in plasma will usually show efficacy in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). ART simplification may virologically fail if the new regimen has less than two active drugs, the genetic barrier of drugs is not high, and the patient may harbour archived resistance. Dual therapies including a boosted protease inhibitor (PI) or dolutegravir (DTG) are generally effective from the CNS perspective. In cases of related neurotoxicity, switching from either efavirenz (EFV) or DTG to another equally effective drug with better CNS tolerability usually leads to complete resolution of CNS symptoms. However, improvement may be incomplete when factors other than ART that cannot be easily modified are involved.

Introduction: In France, over 90% of people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) achieve virological suppression with effective combination of antiretroviral therapies (ART), but limited data exist on the motivation for switching ART.
Objective: To describe the reasons and determinants for switching ART, with a particular focus on doravirine-based regimens, in routine clinical practice in France.
Design: This analysis of cross-sectional baseline data is part of the DoraVIH study, a French, multicenter (15 sites), two-step observational cohort study that includes prospective follow-up for a subset of participants.

In historical illustrations and caricatures, the extraction of a tooth served as a powerful metaphor and threatening gesture that extended far beyond the medical context. This article examines the symbolic significance of this dental procedure and the extracted tooth as an expression of loss, disempowerment, and territorial dispossession. The comparison covers a wide range of visual representations from the French Revolution (1789-1799), the French July Revolution (1830), the Crimean War (1853-1856), the Austro-Prussian War (1866), the Franco-Prussian War (1870/71), to the First (1914-1918) and Second (1939-1945) World Wars and places them in their respective historical contexts.

Rationale: Doravirine (DOR) is an attractive new option both for ART-naïve people with HIV (PWH) and those with suppressed HIV-RNA who seek treatment simplification. We used real-world data to examine the pattern of use of DOR-containing regimens in these settings.
Methods: All PWH enrolled in the Icona cohort after January 2020 who initiated a three-drug regimen (3-DR) with DOR or an integrase inhibitor (INSTI)-based regimen as first antiretroviral therapy (ART) or when switching ART, with HIV-RNA ≤50 copies/mL, were included.

Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S) was proposed as a simplification of the biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) procedure with duodenal switch (DS) in order to reduce operative time and postoperative complications rate, however, keeping effectiveness in weight loss and in comorbidities' resolution. We performed a systematic review of the literature with the aim of summarizing the current evidence of SADI-S clinical outcomes in order to assess its effectiveness and safety, and a total of 17 studies were included. Short- and mid-term follow-up results were reported, with a mean TWL loss ≥ 25% at 12 months and > 44% after 24 months, comparable to BPD-DS, also in reoperative surgery.

Introduction: Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) simplification strategies are needed for treatment-experienced people with HIV (PWH) and multidrug-resistant viruses. These individuals are commonly treated with boosted ART regimens and are thereby at risk for harmful drug-drug interactions (DDI). In this trial, we aim to assess the efficacy of the combination doravirine, dolutegravir and lamivudine (DOR/DTG/3TC) among people with a history of virological failure who receive boosted ART.
