The safety and efficacy of Trogarzo were evaluated in a clinical trial of 40 heavily treatment-experienced patients with MDR HIV-1 who continued to have high levels of virus (HIV-RNA) in their blood despite being on antiretroviral drugs.

Biktarvy is indicated as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 in adults who have no antiretroviral treatment history or to replace the current antiretroviral regimen in those who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50c/mL) on a stable antiretroviral regimen for at least 3 months, with no history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of Biktarvy.

Symfi Lo will be available in the coming weeks whereas Cimduo is expected in the second quarter of 2018.

The study had to be cut short when 2 of 4 subjects developed serious toxicities following the third isoniazid-rifapentine dose.

Biktarvy combines bictegravir, an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), and emtricitabine (FTC) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).

Symfi Lo combines efavirenz (EFV), a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), and lamivudine (3TC) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), both nucleo(t)side reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Lower exposures of rilpivirine were observed during pregnancy, therefore viral load should be monitored closely.

Prezcobix, a combination of an HIV-1 protease inhibitor and a CYP3A inhibitor, is indicated to treat HIV-1 infection in adults.

The researchers found that HIV+ and HEU children had lower cognitive and motor scores than their HUU peers within the meta-analysis.

Overall, 38.8% of women and 53.8% of men had never been tested in 2011 to 2015.

The privacy breach occurred in July 2017, when letters outlining that beneficiaries could now pick up their medications in person were sent in envelopes with large address windows which made private health information visible.

Juluca was approved as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults to replace the current antiretroviral regimen in those who are virologically suppressed on a stable antiretroviral regimen for at least 6 months with no history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of Juluca.

The researchers found that the orally-administered platform delivered three antiretrovirals for up to seven days after a single administration, with week-long systemic drug levels identified.

Atazanavir Sulfate is an HIV-1 protease inhibitor indicated to treat HIV-1 infection in combination with other antiretrovirals

More than one-third of adult HIV patients receiving medical care have not been vaccinated

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are a nucleotide analog HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor.

The risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be increased in patients living with HIV receiving tenofovir (TDF) with a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor compared to those who receive TDF with a non-nucleosidic reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)

Case report describes smoker with HIV infection receiving nivolumab for non-small-cell lung cancer

All PWLH should receive brief standardized screening for chronic pain. A biopsychosocial approach should be used; and appropriate monitoring should take place.

Increase in percentage of people at increased risk for HIV who reported getting an HIV test in past year.

Juluca combines dolutegravir, an HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), and rilpivirine, a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.

No significant neuropsychological decline during two-year period with combination antiretroviral therapy

Of 100 participants, 32% had EPI (faecal elastase-1 <200 μg/g) and 20% severe EPI (faecal elastase-1 <100 μg/g).

The authors write, "the advent of direct acting antiviral (DAA) agent therapies has resulted in significant improvements in treatment rates for those with co-infection."
