Objective: Women living with HIV (WLHIV) are at increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes compared to HIV-negative women, despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). There is evidence that the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes may differ according to ART regimen. We aimed to assess the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes among WLHIV receiving different classes of ART, compared to HIV-negative women.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: We searched Medline, CINAHL, Global Health and EMBASE for studies published between 1 January 1980 and 14 July 2023. We included studies which assessed the risk of 11 predefined adverse perinatal outcomes among WLHIV receiving non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based ART, protease inhibitor (PI)-based ART or integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based ART, compared to HIV-negative women. The perinatal outcomes assessed were preterm birth (PTB), very PTB (VPTB), spontaneous PTB (sPTB), low birthweight (LBW), very LBW (VLBW), term LBW, preterm LBW, small for gestational age (SGA), very SGA (VSGA), stillbirth and neonatal death (NND). Random effects meta-analyses examined the risk of each adverse outcome in WLHIV receiving either NNRTI-based, PI-based or INSTI-based ART, compared with HIV-negative women. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted based on country income status, study quality, and timing of ART initiation. The protocol is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42021248987.

Results: Of 108,720 identified citations, 22 cohort studies including 191,857 women were eligible for analysis. We found that WLHIV receiving NNRTI-based ART (mainly efavirenz or nevirapine) are at increased risk of PTB (risk ratio (RR) 1.40, 95% confidence interval 1.27-1.56), VPTB (1.94, 1.25-3.01), LBW (1.63, 1.30-2.04), SGA (1.53, 1.17-1.99) and VSGA (1.48, 1.16-1.87), compared with HIV-negative women. WLHIV receiving PI-based ART (mainly lopinavir/ritonavir or unspecified) are at increased risk of PTB (1.88, 1.55-2.28), VPTB (2.06, 1.01-4.18), sPTB (16.96, 1.01-284.08), LBW (2.90, 2.41-3.50), VLBW (4.35, 2.67-7.09) and VSGA (2.37, 1.84-3.05), compared with HIV-negative women. WLHIV receiving INSTI-based ART (mainly dolutegravir) are at increased risk of PTB (1.17, 1.06-1.30) and SGA (1.20, 1.08-1.33), compared with HIV-negative women.

Conclusions: The risks of adverse perinatal outcomes are higher among WLHIV receiving ART compared with HIV-negative women, irrespective of the class of ART drugs. This underlines the need to further optimise ART in pregnancy and improve perinatal outcomes of WLHIV.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the performance of the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) against psychiatrist diagnosis in people with HIV (PWH).

Design: Cross-sectional analysis of data collected between January 2018 and July 2022 across five sites in Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Senegal, and the Republic of Congo. Participants were ≥18 years and receiving HIV care at the participating site. PHQ-9 was administered by study staff followed by a psychiatrist's evaluation within 3 days.

Results: Overall, 778 participants with complete data were included: 297 (38.2%) in Cameroon, 132 (17.0%) in Congo, 148 (19.0%) in Cote d'Ivoire, 98 (12.6%) in Kenya, and 103 (13.2%) in Senegal. The area under the curve for PHQ-9 score was generally high ranging from 0.935 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.893, 0.977] in Cote d'Ivoire to 0.768 (95% CI: 0.589, 0.947) in Congo. However, for the common cut-off score ≥10, sensitivity was low: 50% or lower in Cameroon, Congo and Senegal, 66.7% in Kenya and 70.6% in Cote d'Ivoire. But negative predictive values (NPV) were high: 98.9% (95% CI: 96.9%, 99.8%) in Cameroon, 96.1 (95% CI: 91.1, 98.7) in Cote d'Ivoire, 96.3% (95% CI: 89.7%, 99.2%) in Kenya, 95.7% (95% CI: 90.2%, 98.6%) in Congo, and 89.0% (95% CI: 81.2%, 94.4%) in Senegal.

Interpretation: Across all countries, PHQ-9 score ≥10 performed very poorly (low sensitivity) as a tool to identify psychiatrist diagnosed depression. However, the observed high NPV suggests it can be used to rule out depression.

Objectives: To estimate the epidemiological impact of past HIV interventions and the magnitude and contribution of undiagnosed HIV among different risk groups on new HIV acquisitions in Côte d'Ivoire, Mali and Senegal.

Design: HIV transmission dynamic models among the overall population and key populations [female sex workers (FSW), their clients, and MSM].

Methods: Models were independently parameterized and calibrated for each set of country-specific demographic, behavioural, and epidemiological data. We estimated the fraction of new HIV infections over 2012-2021 averted by condom use and antiretroviral therapy (ART) uptake among key populations and non-key populations, the direct and indirect contribution of specific groups to new infections [transmission population-attributable fraction (tPAF)] over 2012-2021 due to prevention gaps, and the distribution of undiagnosed people with HIV (PWH) by risk group in January 2022 and their tPAF over 2022-2031.

Results: Condom use and ART may have averted 81-88% of new HIV infections over 2012-2021 across countries, mostly due to condom use by key population. The tPAF of all key populations combined over 2012-2021 varied between 27% (Côte d'Ivoire) and 79% (Senegal). Male key populations (clients of FSW and MSM) contributed most to new infections (>60% in Mali and Senegal) owing to their higher HIV prevalence and larger prevention gaps. In 2022, men represented 56% of all PWH with an undiagnosed infection in Côte d'Ivoire (male key populations = 15%), 46% in Mali (male key populations = 23%), and 69% in Senegal (male key populations = 55%). If HIV testing and ART initiation rates remain at current levels, 20% of new HIV infections could be due to undiagnosed key populations living with HIV in Côte d'Ivoire over 2022-2031, 53% in Mali, and 65% in Senegal.

Conclusion: Substantial HIV diagnosis gaps remain in Western Africa, especially among male key populations. Addressing these gaps is key to impacting the HIV epidemics in the region and achieving the goal of ending AIDS by 2030.

Retrospective, cohort analysis including people with HIV and 4-class drug resistance (4DR). The 8-year probability of malignancy after first evidence of 4DR was 12%, with an incidence of 1.6/100 person years of follow-up. Cancer risk tended to increase with higher precancer viremia copy-years adjusted for time [per 1 - log10 copies/ml higher: adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.35; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 0.98-1.85] and male sex-assigned-at-birth (aHR = 2.50; 95% CI = 0.86-7.27). Efforts to achieve long-term undetectability, risk factor control, prevention, and more aggressive cancer screening are needed in this fragile population.

Our objective was to compare HIV prevalence between two national surveys among men who have sex with men in Brazil in 2009 and 2016. HIV prevalence was estimated stratifying by age and socioeconomic status. HIV prevalence increased from 11.9% [95% confidence interval (CI): 9.9-14.3], in 2009, to 19.1% (95% CI: 16.5 - 22.0), in 2016 [odds ratio (OR) = 1.8; 95% CI: 1.3-2.3] increasing 320% among Young MSM of low SES. Political leadership is needed to develop a scientifically sound and inclusive solution.

Objective: To identify groups more likely to be referred for HIV testing because of symptomatic presentation rather than as part of asymptomatic screening.

Design: A retrospective analysis of Australian National HIV Registry (NHR) surveillance data including sociodemographic and clinical data, as well as reasons for HIV test.

Methods: Using notification records from 2017 to 2022, we summarised reasons for testing leading to an HIV diagnosis. Reasons for testing were combined with clinical status at diagnosis to derive HIV testing categories: testing while symptomatic; asymptomatic HIV screening; seroconversion; and other test reason. We stratified these categories by stage of HIV at diagnosis with late-stage HIV defined as a CD4 + cell count <350 cells/μl at time of diagnosis.

Results: Among 4134 HIV notifications with at least one reason for testing recorded, STI screening was the predominant reason for test referral (38%), followed by HIV indicative symptoms (31%), and risk behaviour (13%). By testing category, people aged 50 years or older (24%), people with HIV attributed to heterosexual sex (21%), people born in sub-Saharan Africa (19%), and women (17%) had lower levels of asymptomatic screening. More late-stage HIV diagnoses resulted from testing while symptomatic (58%) compared with asymptomatic screening (25%).

Conclusions: Older people and heterosexuals may not access HIV focused healthcare where HIV screening is routinely offered. Instead, HIV testing opportunities may arise in other settings. By normalising HIV testing and offering low-cost HIV screening in a range of settings, it may be possible to facilitate earlier HIV diagnoses, better health outcomes, and reduced onward transmission.

Objective: Risk factors for progression from prediabetes mellitus (pre-DM) to diabetes mellitus (DM) among people with HIV (PWH) receiving modern antiretroviral therapy (ART) require better characterization.

Design: AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) A5322 (HAILO) was an observational cohort study of PWH ≥40 years old. Participants initiated ART through ACTG randomized clinical trials.

Methods: We used Cox proportional hazards regression models to identify risk factors for development of DM among HAILO participants with pre-DM.

Results: Among 1035 HAILO participants, 74 (7%) had pre-DM at entry and another 679 (66%) developed pre-DM during follow-up. Of 753 PWH with pre-DM, 167 (22%) developed DM. In multivariable models, the risk of developing DM was greater with higher BMI, lower CD4 count (≤200 cells/mm 3 ), hypertriglyceridemia, or higher waist circumference at pre-DM diagnosis ( P  < 0.01).

Conclusion: Rates of pre-DM and progression to DM remain high among virally suppressed PWH receiving modern ART regimens. Traditional risks for DM, such as higher BMI or waist circumference, are associated with increased risk of incident DM among PWH with pre-DM. The association between lower CD4 + and progression to DM suggests a role for advanced immunodeficiency and inflammation. Further investigation of interventions aimed at preventing DM among PWH with pre-DM is needed. Optimizing prevention and treatment for DM may be an intervenable opportunity to improve long-term outcomes for PWH.
