Published: November 2022

Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is known to cause a rare form of leukemia/lymphoma called adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). Although ATLL is known to have a high co-infection rate with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in areas where both viruses are endemic, clinical trials, such as the phase three trial for mogamulizumab, continue to exclude patients living with HIV. We here describe the utilization and therapeutic course of mogamulizumab for ATLL in a patient living with HIV. Unfortunately, due to exclusion of patients with co-viral infections in trials, decisions regarding clinical care in these patients remain challenging with the need to rely on retrospective publications for safety and efficacy.

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.

Background: Long-acting injectable (LAI) antiretroviral medications are as effective as daily oral antiretroviral therapy (ART) and offer discreet, less frequent dosing. LAIs may be ideal treatment options for people who experience challenges with adherence to daily oral ART, including mobile men living with HIV (MLHIV).

Methods: We conducted a qualitative substudy within two parent trials in 24 health facilities in Malawi that enrolled MLHIV ≥15 years not on ART.

Background: We assessed access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and interest in integration of PrEP with gender-affirmative care in a global sample of transmasculine persons.

Methods: Transmasculine persons (N = 590) aged 18 years and above from 57 countries completed a brief online survey from April to July 2022 about sexual behavior, knowledge, and interest in PrEP, current access to PrEP and gender-affirmative care, and preferred context for accessing PrEP. Descriptive analyses were stratified by country income group.

Brief Report: Antiretroviral Treatment Use Over Time Among Adolescents and Young Adults in the Rakai Community Cohort Study, 2011-2020.

December 2024

Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, New York, NY.

Background: In sub-Saharan Africa, pediatric and adult treatment programs have not met the needs of youth living with HIV (15-24 years), whose enrollment in antiretroviral treatment (ART) programs is much lower than that of adults. To inform targeted interventions, we analyzed factors associated with ART use among youth in Uganda.

Methods: Data were from 42 communities between 2011 and 2020 (5 survey rounds) from the Rakai Community Cohort Study, an open, population-based cohort.
