Early antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation is known to limit the establishment of the HIV reservoir, with studies suggesting benefits such as a reduced number of infected cells and a smaller latent reservoir. However, the long-term impact of early ART initiation on the dynamics of the infected cell pool remains unclear, and clinical evidence directly comparing proviral integration site counts between early and late ART initiation is limited. In this study, we used Linear Target Amplification-PCR (LTA-PCR) and Next Generation Sequencing to compare unique integration site (UIS) clonal counts between individuals who initiated ART during acute HIV infection stage (Acute-ART group) and those in the AIDS stage (AIDS-ART group).

Background: Cognitive decline often follows human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, yet the specific risk factors for developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) in HIV patients remain elusive.
Method: To investigate the association between acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) status at the time of HIV diagnosis and the risk of ADRD, we conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from a nationwide claim database spanning 2008 to 2021. During the study period, 13,289 patients were newly diagnosed with HIV infection and were prescribed antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Background: Despite advancements in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) treatment and care, undernutrition remains a significant concern, accelerating disease progression and risk of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)-related deaths. The nutritional status of second-line antiretroviral treatment (SLART) users in Ethiopia has not been thoroughly investigated. So, this study aimed to assess the nutritional status of HIV/AIDS patients who were on SLART and its associated factors in Northern Ethiopia.
