Background: Injectable depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is the most common contraceptive choice among young women in Uganda, where HIV burden is high and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) may be offered. For young women who choose to use both agents concurrently, it is unknown whether they will experience declines in BMD beyond those elicited by either product singly.
Methods: From 2018-2022, we conducted a 2-year prospective study with women ages 16-25 years in Kampala, Uganda desiring pregnancy and HIV prevention.

Tenofovir-associated Fanconi Syndrome (TAFS) is a proximal renal tubule disorder rarely reported in patients after liver transplantation (LT) for hepatitis B (HBV). In a retrospective review of 79 HBV-LT recipients, 8/66 (12.1%) on tenofovir post-LT developed TAFS.

Background: The World Health Organization recommends dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) as the preferred first-line regimen for HIV treatment. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the long-term virologic outcomes and safety of transitioning from an efavirenz-based regimen (tenofovir, lamivudine, efavirenz [TLE]) to a dolutegravir-based regimen (tenofovir, lamivudine, dolutegravir [TLD]) among adult HIV participants in Mbeya, Tanzania.
Methods: Medical records of 250 adult HIV participants who transitioned from TLE to TLD at Mbeya Zonal Referral Hospital were reviewed from August 2022 to December 2022.

Introduction: In low-and-middle-income-countries (LMIC), viral suppression is defined as plasma viral load (PVL) below 1000 copies/mL (low-level viremia [LLV]) and threshold for HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) testing. However, there is evidence that drug resistance mutations (DRMs) may emerge at LLV, thus compromising antiretroviral treatment (ART) response We evaluated sequencing success rates (SSR) at LLV, described HIVDR profiles and adequacy with potential efficacy of tenofovir-lamivudine-dolutegravir (TLD).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals with LLV at the Chantal BIYA International Reference Centre, Yaoundé, Cameroon from January 2020 through August 2021.

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term effectiveness, persistence and tolerability of dolutegravir (DTG)/lamivudine (3TC), compared with the most frequently prescribed first-line treatment regimens, among antiretroviral-naive people with HIV from CoRIS, a multicentre cohort in Spain, in 2018-23.
Methods: We used multivariable regression models to compare viral suppression (VS) (HIV RNA viral load <50 copies/mL), change in CD4 cell counts, persistence and treatment discontinuations due to adverse events (AEs), at 96 (±24) weeks after treatment initiation.
Results: Of 2359 participants, DTG/3TC was prescribed in 472 (20.
