This Week in HIV Research: The Vagaries of Time
Throughout much of our co-existence with HIV, a single measurement of time was the only one most people were concerned about: life span. But as HIV treatment has improved and evolved, the measurements of time that matter to providers and their patients have changed as well: time to viral suppression; years on antiretroviral therapy; quality-adjusted life years.
In our latest review of recently published research, we alight on several studies that examine the intersection of time and HIV from different angles. Our highlighted studies this week:
Quantify the burden of chronic comorbidities in people living with HIV (PLWH) by measuring disability-adjusted life years.
Highlight positive trends of time in liver transplantation outcomes among PLWH.
Provide a glimpse of hepatitis B replication persistence after two years of suppressive tenofovir-containing antiretroviral therapy.
Remind us how far we have to go in improving HIV testing rates among transgender and nonbinary people.
