Preamble Target Audience This activity is intended for infectious diseases and infectious disease and HIV specialist physicians and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with HIV infection.
Educational Objectives After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to: • Review the role of inflammation in the comorbidities commonly associated with HIV in aging patients • Tailor screening and treatment for common age-related HIV comorbidities, such as decreased bone mineral density and renal disease • Address CV risk in aging patients with HIV through selection of appropriate ART regimens and incorporation of recommended therapies to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) • Utilize knowledge of virus-related cancers to appropriately screen patients with HIV • Implement screening and appropriate treatment strategies for depression and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) in aging patients with HIV
Program Overview People with HIV (PWH) have a life expectancy that is only slightly shorter than that of the general population. In the United States, more than half of the 1.3 million PWH are older than 50 years—and the average age is rising.1 As PWH age, the risk of comorbidities and multimorbidity increases.2 The age-related multimorbidity seen in PWH is believed to be caused by HIV-associated chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and immune cell senescence.1 Comorbidity burden in aging PWH has a substantial negative effect on quality of life. Comorbidities of particular concern are cardiovascular disease, decreased bone mineral density, cancer, neurocognitive impairment and depression, and renal disease. These comorbidities may be influenced both by antiretroviral therapy (ART) and by HIV itself. There is a need for clinicians to better understand these comorbidities and form multidisciplinary teams to appropriately care for their aging patients with HIV. This HIV eHealth program includes epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for common comorbidities seen in aging PWH, including effect of ART on comorbidities and how each comorbidity may influence ART selection.

Introduction: HIV in the Aging Patient
Chris Longenecker, MD Over the past several decades, HIV has shifted from a fatal diagnosis to a chronic condition that can be managed with antiretroviral therapy (ART). Today, people with HIV (PWH) have a life expectancy that is only slightly shorter than that of the general population. In the United States, more than half of the 1.3 million PWH are older than 50 years—and the average age is rising. By 2030, 70% of PWH are expected to be older than 50 years.1 As the life expectancies of PWH extend, and as people are diagnosed with HIV at older ages, the effects of the infection on aging are becoming important clinical considerations (see link to supplementary video 1).2
VIDEO 1: Introduction Chris Longenecker, MD
Multimorbidity appears to occur in PWH in their 40s at the same rate that it occurs in the general population in their 50s.3 Furthermore, as PWH age, the risk of comorbidities and multimorbidity increases.4 The agerelated multimorbidity seen in PWH is believed to be caused by HIV-associated chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and immune cell senescence—so-called inflammaging or inflammAIDS. Inflammatory biomarkers of inflammaging are reported in PWH regardless of whether HIV levels are suppressed on ART. Although there are multiple mechanisms leading to chronic inflammation in PWH, a key mediator is believed to be low-level HIV replication in tissues despite undetectable levels of HIV in the serum. Furthermore, immune dysregulation and senescence occurs at a younger age among PWH, potentially due to depletion of CD4+ T cells prior to initiation of ART.1,2

Comorbidity burden in an aging HIV-positive population has a substantial negative effect on quality of life. PWH who have chronic conditions such as diabetes, neurocognitive impairment, cancer, depression, hypertension, chronic pain, hepatitis, or arthritis typically have lower scores on quality of life assessments than PWH who do not have these comorbidities.5,6 Currently, PWH are dying more often from noninfectious causes than from AIDS.7 As such, the clinical conversation surrounding aging PWH has shifted, and clinicians must focus on providing comprehensive health care for PWH who have multiple comorbidities.

Inflammation and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in HIV
Chris Longenecker, MD People with HIV (PWH) are at elevated risk for a variety of heart and blood vessel conditions, including atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. These diseases are collectively known as cardiovascular disease (CVD). In a systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers reported that PWH who are receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) are at a 2-fold elevated risk of CVD compared with people who are not infected with HIV.1 Other common cardiovascular conditions associated with HIV infection include left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction, myocardial fibrosis, and cardiac fat infiltration.2-5 In a database review of people undergoing carotid endarterectomy, PWH received carotid intervention 9 years earlier, on average, than people without HIV.6 Similarly, the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) has shown that ischemic stroke occurs at an increased rate among younger PWH relative to HIV-uninfected individuals. The VACS also showed that the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) is higher among PWH in all age groups; however, the mean age at the time of MI is similar regardless of HIV status.7 Furthermore, in a longitudinal study, the risk of MI or stroke did not rise with increasing duration of HIV infection.8 On the basis of these study results, HIV could lead to either accelerated aging or accentuated aging (Figure 1.1). The two models of HIV-influenced aging may be reconciled if one considers that HIV-associated risk factors (eg, ART use) may be more important for CVD risk at younger ages, and traditional risk factors (eg, hypertension and cholesterol) may become more important at older ages among PWH.9
8
Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Among PWH Pathophysiology Damage leading to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) appears to be mediated by chronic inflammation and immune activation (Figure 1.2). Inflammation in PWH is caused in large part by the alteration of immune cell subsets, including lowered CD4+ T-cell counts and activation of monocytes. Low current CD4+
9
T-cell counts have been associated with increased risk of carotid intima-media thickening, atherosclerosis, incident CVD, and acute MI.10-14 Low nadir CD4+ counts have also been associated with inflammation and cardiovascular risk.15,16 The activation of monocytes can lead to monocyte and macrophage infiltration of endothelial tissue, which is a risk factor for vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque.17 Markers of monocyte activation have been linked to higher rates of all-cause mortality among PWH.18,19
ART ART contributes to the risk of CVD among PWH (Table 1.1). By 2007, protease inhibitors (PIs) were identified as a primary contributor to MI risk, due in part to associated dyslipidemia. Even after adjustment for cholesterol levels, however, the risk of MI was increased by 10% among people who received ritonavir and other firstgeneration PIs.21 According to recent results from the Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:D) study, atazanavir appears to be the only PI that is not associated with an increased risk of CVD.22
10
Nonetheless, the cardiovascular risk of ART should be balanced against the risks of leaving HIV untreated. According to the results of the Strategic Timing of AntiRetroviral Treatment (START) trial, early initiation of ART among PWH is the standard of care and reduces the risk of both AIDS-related and non-AIDS-related adverse events.23
Anti-inflammatory Therapies Canakinumab, an anti-inflammatory antibody treatment that targets interleukin (IL)-1β, was tested in the CANTOS clinical trial, which included more than 10,000 HIV-negative patients with previous MI and highsensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) level of ≥2 mg/L. Canakinumab 150 mg was shown to significantly reduce the risk of the primary endpoint—which was nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, or cardiovascular death—by 15% (P=0.02).44 In a smaller study of adults with treated HIV infection and established CVD or at least 1 cardiovascular risk factor, canakinumab reduced the levels of CRP and IL-6 among PWH and also reduced arterial inflammation by 10% and bone marrow metabolic activity by 11%.45 Canakinumab appears to mediate its effects solely through inflammatory pathways.44 Yet other studies have revealed that treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may increase the risk of MI and other cardiovascular adverse events.46,47 Furthermore, results from the CIRT study demonstrated that methotrexate did not reduce inflammatory markers among people from the general population with stable atherosclerosis or among PWH who were at risk for CVD.48,49
Lipid-Lowering Therapies Among PWH, statin therapy has been shown to reduce plaque volume and decrease inflammatory biomarkers50,51; however, a direct correlation between mortality reduction and statin therapy has not been established among PWH.52 Lipid-lowering therapies are currently used at a lower rate among PWH than among people without HIV infection (see link to supplementary video 2).
VIDEO 2: Statin Use in PWH Chris Longenecker, MD
Diagnosing & Managing ASCVD
Ideally, PWH will be evaluated for risk of CVD at every visit. Common risk calculators that use conventional risk factors to calculate the 10-year risk of heart disease, such as the ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus, do not account for HIV-associated risk factors, and, therefore, underestimate CVD risk among PWH.53 The D:A:D risk equation does incorporate HIV-specific factors, such as exposure to abacavir, indinavir, or lopinavir/r, but does not significantly improve risk estimation for PWH.54 Because of the association between PIs and CVD, combinations containing integrase inhibitors may be preferable options for PWH who are at high risk for CVD. Other ART agents that have been shown to have a neutral lipid profile include nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and CCR5 antagonists.20 Unfortunately, many ART agents interact with statins. Pitavastatin is a newer statin with fewer interactions than other statin therapies.55
11
Heart Failure Among PWH HIV infection is often traditionally associated with ASCVD but many PWH—especially older PWH—are at risk for heart failure (HF) independent of increased risk for MI.56 Although PWH have elevated risk for both heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the epidemiology of HF in PWH has changed with the advent of ART.57,58 In the pre-ART era, HFrEF was more common. With the introduction of effective ART and a lower number of PWH progressing to AIDS, HFpEF has become more common.58 HF is mediated and characterized by high levels of inflammatory markers and immune activation.59 Antiinflammatory drugs, however, may result in worse clinical outcomes among patients with HF. Some biologic drugs that block inflammation have been associated with an increased risk of HF.60,61 In contrast, canakinumab has been shown to decrease the risk for hospitalization for HF.62
ART In a retrospective single-center study of PWH who were hospitalized with HF, the use of PIs was associated with increased odds of cardiovascular adverse events: dyslipidemia, diabetes, coronary artery disease, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, and higher pulmonary artery systolic pressure.39 In contrast, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been associated with a lower risk of incident HF.32
Diagnosing & Managing HF HF is frequently asymptomatic in PWH, especially with the advent of effective ART. In a meta-analysis of more than 2000 PWH who were asymptomatic, diastolic dysfunction was evident in 43%.2 Similarly, pericardial effusions and valvular heart disease are often diagnosed incidentally with echocardiography.63 As such, consideration should be given to echocardiogram testing among asymptomatic individuals with multiple risk factors for HF. No randomized controlled trials have been performed to determine the best treatment for PWH who have HF VIDEO 3: HF Treatment in PWH (see link to supplementary video 3). It is nonetheless Chris Longenecker, MD reasonable to use standard HF therapies such as cardioverter-defibrillator implantation, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and pharmacologic management. PWH who have HF should continue to receive ART, but regimens containing zidovudine should be switched to another option because of the association of zidovudine with myocyte mitochondrial damage.64
Key Clinical Highlights • CVD is a proinflammatory disease, but the relationship among inflammation, immune activation, HIV infection, and CVD is complex and warrants further investigation • PIs are associated with an increased risk of MI and HF, whereas integrase inhibitors are associated with a more favorable cardiac risk profile • Statins and other lipid-lowering and cardioprotective therapies should be prescribed to PWH who are at risk for CVD according to current guidelines 12

Bone Density and Osteoporosis Screening and Management
Paul E. Sax, MD As with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other age-related comorbidities, bone mineral density (BMD) loss appears to occur at an earlier age and a higher frequency among people with HIV (PWH). Fracture incidence in PWH in their 50s was comparable to the fracture incidence of HIV-negative individuals who were a decade older.1 Compared with the general population, PWH have accelerated BMD loss, an increased incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis, and an increased risk of fracture.2-4 A large case-control study estimated a substantially increased risk for hip fractures (9-fold), spinal fractures (9-fold), and forearm fracture (4-fold).5 Any fracture type is associated with a high level of morbidity, and hip fractures are associated with a 30% mortality rate within the first year.6,7
Causes of BMD Loss Among PWH The high rate of BMD loss among PWH has been attributed to both traditional risk factors and HIV-associated risk factors (Table 2.1). Smoking, low body weight, low vitamin D levels, and corticosteroid use are of particular concern in PWH.8,9 The risk of fracture among PWH may be compounded because of the many classical risk factors that occur at a higher rate among PWH. The association of traditional risk factors with low BMD among PWH is further supported by findings that HIV-negative men have low BMD prior to initiation of pre-exposure prophylaxis.10
15
Inflammation and Immune Dysregulation The primary risk factors for BMD loss associated with HIV infection are inflammation, immune reconstitution, and ART use. The chronic inflammation experienced by PWH may be analogous to the inflammation and immune dysregulation experienced by postmenopausal women as estrogen levels decline.12,13 To maintain skeletal homeostasis, osteoclasts and osteoblasts simultaneously destroy and synthesize bone cells, respectively. Osteoclast differentiation is mediated by the receptor activator of NF-ÎşB (RANK), RANK ligand (RANKL), and osteoprotegerin, a decoy receptor for RANKL. The production of RANKL and osteoprotegerin is mediated by B cells and T cells; therefore, immune dysregulation leads to overproduction of RANKL, underproduction of osteoprotegerin, and a resultant increase in osteoclastic bone resorption.13-15 Inflammation and immune dysregulation in PWH can occur in a variety of ways. Among those who are not receiving ART, low CD4+ T-cell counts and high levels of viremia are associated with chronic inflammation. Furthermore, in PWH who recently initiated ART, immune reconstitution appears to paradoxically increase BMD loss. Within 12 weeks of starting ART, RANKL and other markers of bone resorption increased by 200% in parallel with CD4+ T-cell recovery and increased levels persisted through 24 weeks.16 A compensatory increase in bone formation was also noted after ART initiation.
Effect of ART on BMD The effect of ART on BMD is unique in that ART appears to be associated with worse bone-related clinical outcomes than HIV replication itself. In the Strategic Timing of AntiRetroviral Treatment (START) Bone Mineral Density substudy, immediate ART resulted in worse BMD loss in the hip and spine compared with deferred ART over a median follow-up of 2.2 years (Figure 2.1).17 Despite these results, guidelines do recommend early initiation of ART in PWH. 16
Similarly, in the Strategies for Management of Antiretroviral Therapy (SMART) Body Composition substudy, more ART exposure was correlated with increased BMD loss. PWH who received continuous ART had more BMD loss in the hip and spine than people who received intermittent ART.18 In both the START and SMART studies, no drug-specific association was found for BMD loss.17,18 In randomized clinical comparative studies, however, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been associated with substantially more bone loss than other ART agents.19 The prodrug of TDF, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), has less effect on BMD. After 144 weeks of treatment, hip BMD loss and spine BMD loss were significantly greater among participants receiving TDF than among those given TAF (Figure 2.2).
17
Moreover, more participants receiving TAF recovered from osteopenia and osteoporosis than participants receiving TDF.20 Boosted protease inhibitors are another drug class associated with a higher rate of BMD loss than nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) or nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs).21 Regimens containing boosted atazanavir were associated with a greater decrease in lumbar spine BMD than efavirenz-containing regimens.22
Managing Low BMD Among PWH Screening for Low BMD Recommendations for screening, assessing, managing, and monitoring BMD are outlined in Figure 2.3. Briefly, patients with major risk of fragility fracture are assessed by the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) score every 2 to 3 years to determine whether patients should be screened by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for low BMD (see link to supplementary video 4).
VIDEO 4: Screening for Low BMD in PHW Paul E. Sax, MD
Tailoring ART Regimens Among PWH With Low BMD
Switching from TDF to TAF is the most important change for people with low BMD who are currently receiving TDF. Switching from a TDF-containing regimen to a TAF-containing regimen resulted in a 2.2% increase in spine BMD and a 2.9% increase in hip BMD over 96 weeks. Moreover, in nearly one quarter of participants, osteoporosis or osteopenia was reversed after the switch.23 Another important consideration for people with low BMD is to avoid protease inhibitor–based regimens in favor of integrase inhibitor–based regimens to decrease BMD loss and optimize the chance for osteoporosis reversal.
Treating Low BMD Low BMD can be treated among PWH in a similar fashion to the general population. Calcium and vitamin D supplements should be considered. Because calcium supplements can interfere with integrase inhibitor absorption, patients receiving both calcium inhibitors and integrase inhibitors should be coached to take the integrase inhibitor at least 2 hours prior to calcium supplementation and at meal time.24 For PWH who are at high risk for fracture, bisphosphonates should be considered. Among PWH, bisphosphonates are generally well tolerated and have been shown to increase BMD in the lumbar spine and hip.25
Key Clinical Highlights • PWH are at high risk for low BMD because of HIV infection, ART toxicity, and non-HIV–related risk factors • BMD loss is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality, and PWH older than 40 years should be evaluated for risk for BMD using FRAX • TDF in particular and some protease inhibitors are associated with higher risk of BMD loss; switch to nonTDF containing regimens should be initiated among PWH who have low BMD

HIV and Related Cancers
Paul E. Sax, MD People with HIV (PWH) are at increased risk for developing cancer. As with most of the aging-related comorbidities among PWH, the presentation and incidence of cancers has shifted with the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The incidence of AIDS-defining cancers (eg, Kaposi’s sarcoma) has decreased in conjunction with the decline in AIDS diagnoses and AIDS-related deaths.1,2 During the same time period, the incidence of non-AIDS–defining cancers has increased (Figure 3.1).3,4 Cancer now accounts for one third of all deaths among PWH.5
21
Compared with the general population, PWH are at greater risk for cancers caused by viruses (eg, anal cancer) and other types of cancers (eg, lung cancer) (Table 3.1). Furthermore, AIDS-defining cancers continue to occur at an elevated rate among PWH. The standardized incidence ratios for Kaposi sarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma are 192 and 76.4, respectively.3
Causes of Malignancy Among PWH A total of 40% of cancers among PWH are attributable to viral infections compared with 5% of cancers among the general population.8 The shared transmission modalities among HIV and oncogenic viruses may be one of the reasons for the increased number of virus-related malignancies among PWH. The rates of human papillomavirus, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C infection are all far higher among PWH (Table 3.2). It is also likely that the HIV-mediated immune dysregulation impacts the high rate of malignancy.9,10 By combating this dysregulation, use of ART and viral suppression decreases the risk of cancer.11 Oncogenic viruses typically cause cancer by interfering with host cell regulation of apoptosis and proliferation. Because HIV infection impairs immune function, the replication of oncogenic viruses may go unchecked.13,14 Furthermore, PWH often have chronic inflammation, which has long been linked to oncogenesis (see link to supplementary video 5).15 Cancers with no identified viral etiology are also more common among PWH, but the reason for this is controversial. It is possible that immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation lead to an increase in cancers among PWH; however, it is also undeniable that risk factors for various cancers are far more prevalent among PWH (Table 3.2).12

Cancer Screening for PWH The approach to cancer screening for PWH is similar to the approach for the general population. When considering screening PWH for cancer, one must balance cancer risk and the benefits of screening with the harms of overdiagnosis and unnecessary testing. As shown in Table 3.3, many of the recommendations from the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute and the Infectious Diseases Society of America mirror those from other agencies for the general population. However, the majority of these recommendations are based on weak or moderate evidence, many are outdated, and some cancer types have no HIV-specific recommendations. For example, no HIV-specific recommendation for lung cancer is available, but a recent study has demonstrated that lung cancer screening for PWH would reduce mortality related to lung cancer for PWH with CD4+ T-cell counts of at least 500 cells/µL, and widening the screening age from 45 to 77 years (compared with 55 to 80 years in the general population) would result in the greatest reduction in mortality—but also the most overdiagnosis.16
Tailoring ART Among PWH Diagnosed With Cancer PWH who have cancer can—and should—continue to receive ART during chemotherapy; however, modifications to the regimen may be necessary.28 Continuation of ART during chemotherapy is associated with improved tolerance of chemotherapy, better response rates, and increased survival.29,30 The potential for drug-drug interactions between ART and chemotherapy stem from the metabolism of the agents and overlapping adverse events (see link to supplementary video 6). Like many ART agents, many chemotherapy agents are metabolized by enzymes in the cytochrome P450 pathway of the liver. Competition for this pathway could directly impact efficacy and tolerability of both ART and chemotherapy; therefore, avoiding the pharmacokinetic boosters ritonavir and cobicistat is important. In a retrospective study of ART regimens, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase

inhibitors (NNRTIs) and integrase inhibitors were better tolerated and more efficacious among patients receiving chemotherapy than protease inhibitors (Figure 3.2).31
24
Key Clinical Highlights • The incidence of AIDS-defining cancers is decreasing, but the incidence of non–AIDS-defining cancers is increasing • Screening for cancer should usually follow the recommendations available for the general population; screening for cervical cancer should start earlier and continue past the age of 65 years • PWH should receive ART during chemotherapy • Regimens that include the pharmacokinetic boosters ritonavir or cobicistat may interfere with the efficacy and tolerability of ART and chemotherapy

Neurocognitive Impairment and Depression in HIV
Paul E. Sax, MD HIV infection is associated with a collection of neuropsychiatric disorders that include behavioral abnormalities, motor dysfunction, dementia, and executive function impairment. Collectively, these clinical manifestations are known as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). Although the presentation and severity of HAND has changed since the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART), the overall prevalence has remained steady at about 50%.1,2 In the pre-ART era, the most severe form of HAND was more common. In contrast, the asymptomatic form of HAND has become more common since the introduction of ART (Figure 4.1).2 The criteria for classifying HAND subtypes are shown in Table 4.1. In addition to HAND, people with HIV (PWH) often have comorbid depression and anxiety.3
27
Aging appears to play an important role in neurocognitive decline among PWH.6,7 HIV-associated dementia (HAD) occurs 3 times more frequently in PWH who are 50 years or older compared with those aged 20 to 39 years.8 Relative to the general population, the neurocognitive changes seem to be amplified among PWH. The rate of verbal memory decline is greater among PWH than in the general population—so much so that middleaged PWH may be cognitively similar to people without HIV who are 70 years or older.9 Even among PWH using ART with continued virologic suppression, the odds of neurocognitive impairment increases by 20% with each decade of increased age.10
Pathophysiology of HAND Prior to the introduction of ART, HAND was associated with encephalitis and neuronal loss. In the pre-ART era, 54% of autopsies revealed encephalitis compared with 15% in the ART era.11 Encephalitis and neuronal loss are no longer common and do not explain the high level of mild neurocognitive disorder (MND) and ANI reported today. It is likely that neuropsychiatric dysfunction stems from functional impairment of the neurons due to subtler changes in the brain.12,13 Chronic inflammation appears to be an important trigger for neuropsychiatric decline among PWH. Activated monocytes facilitate the virus crossing the blood-brain barrier and establishing infection within central nervous system (CNS) cells, including macrophages, microglia, and astrocytes.14 Altered blood-brain barrier permeability occurs early in HIV infection and has been associated with markers of neuronal damage and astrocytosis.15,16 Furthermore, viral proteins secreted by infected cells can circulate within the CNS, resulting in the release of cytokines. Proinflammatory cytokines then activate microglia and astrocytes, leading to a feedback loop of immune activation and inflammation. Activated immune cells within the CNS further contribute to neuroinflammation by releasing neurotoxic proteins that can lead to neuropsychiatric dysfunction.17 Prompt initiation of ART appears to be associated with a lower risk of HAND.18 As can be seen in Table 4.2, in addition to HIV-associated risk factors, many of the conditions that can cause cognitive dysfunction on their own are risk factors for HAND.
28
ART and HAND It is unclear whether the extent of ART penetration into the CNS impacts clinical outcomes among PWH. ART regimens with high CNS penetration have been associated with lower viral loads in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)20; however, viral suppression in the CSF has not been linked to reduced HAND independent of viral suppression in the plasma. Furthermore, in a randomized controlled study that optimized ART regimens based on high CNS penetration, no neurocognitive benefit was reported.21 Given the lack of benefit for using highly penetrant ART regimens, the current recommendation is to use the simplest, most potent, and least toxic ART regimens for patients with or without HAND.19 There is also some concern that highly penetrant ART may lead to worse neurocognitive function because of the potential for neurotoxic adverse events. Efavirenz, which is highly penetrant into the CNS, has been associated with neurotoxic effects in vitro and negative neurocognitive effects among patients.22-25 If patients are exhibiting neuropsychiatric decline, a switch away from efavirenz may be warranted. Other ART regimens have fewer neuropsychiatric adverse events; doravirine has demonstrated a lower rate of treatment-emergent adverse events compared with efavirenz, and doravirine and darunavir demonstrated a similar rate of neuropsychiatric adverse events.26,27
Depression and HIV Comorbid depression is the most common neuropsychiatric condition among PWH. Compared with the general population, PWH have up to a 5-fold higher prevalence of depression.28 Socioeconomic and demographic factors overlap considerably among PWH and people with clinical depression, so it is unsurprising that the prevalence of depression is high among PWH.3 Depression can negatively impact the efficacy of HIV treatment and substantially impair quality of life.29 PWH with clinical depression are 1.8-times more likely to be nonadherent to ART than those without depression.30 Indeed, treating depression with antidepressants not only reduces symptoms of depression but also has been shown to improve viral suppression by 16% and increase CD4+ T-cell levels by a mean of 39 cells/ÂľL.31 Therefore, PWH should be screened for depression at each visit using validated screening questionnaires. Those patients with clinical depression should be treated with evidence-based therapy, including antidepressants and cognitive behavioral therapy where appropriate. In the absence of a response,

psychiatric referral may be appropriate (see link to supplementary video 7).
Key Clinical Highlights • Aging plays a significant role in HAND • Chronic inflammation may trigger neuropsychiatric decline in PWH • The extent of ART penetration into the CNS may or may not play a role in neurocognitive decline; there may be a risk of increased neurocognitive symptoms with certain neurotoxic ART agents, specifically efavirenz

Renal Disease in Aging Patients With HIV
Chris Longenecker, MD People with HIV (PWH) are at elevated risk for renal disease, which can manifest in a variety of ways, from acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Other HIV-associated kidney disorders include HIVassociated nephropathy and antiretroviral-associated kidney toxicity (Table 5.1).
32
HIV-associated nephropathy was the first kidney manifestation of HIV that was identified and is associated with proteinuria and renal dysfunction. Since the introduction of effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), the prevalence of HIV-associated nephropathy has decreased by about 60%.2 As the prevalence of HIVassociated nephropathy has declined and then plateaued, so too has the incidence of HIV-associated endstage renal disease (ESRD); however, the prevalence of ESRD in this population is now increasing as PWH live longer.1 Furthermore, the incidences of other types of renal disease, such as AKI, are increasing during the ART era; some ART regimens are known to be nephrotoxic (Figure 5.1).3
Pathophysiology of Renal Disease in HIV The pathophysiology of renal disease among PWH is multifactorial and dependent on the interplay of HIV replication, ART, traditional risk factors, and genetics. For example, polymorphisms in the APOL1 gene increase the risk of renal disease among PWH. APOL1 is a protein constituent of high-density lipoprotein and plays a role in innate immunity. APOL1 risk variants confer protection against the parasitic infection African trypanosomiasis and are more common among West Africans and African Americans than among people of European descent.4,5 Although ART is known to extend the life expectancy of PWH, these drugs often have adverse effects on the kidneys. Indinavir, darunavir, and atazanavir have been associated with crystal nephropathy caused by poor drug solubility in alkaline urine.6,7 Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been associated with renal tubular dysfunction leading to Fanconi syndrome, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, acute tubular necrosis, and, eventually, CKD.8,9 In contrast, the prodrug of TDF, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is associated with substantially less renal toxicity than TDF.10 Additional HIV-related risk factors for kidney disease have been identified. Uncontrolled HIV infection with low CD4+ T-cell count or high viral load has been implicated in renal disease.11 Because ART can control HIV infection and reduce these risk factors, ART is still associated with an overall reduced risk of kidney disease despite the known nephrotoxic effects of some agents. In parallel with decreasing incidence of HIVassociated nephropathy, HIV-associated immune-mediated kidney disease is becoming more common. The precise mechanisms of this disease are unclear, but research suggests that antibody responses to HIV
33
epitopes and B-cell activation leads to the formation of immune complexes that are deposited in glomerular capillaries.12 Traditional risk factors for kidney disease are important contributors to the high prevalence of renal disease among PWH. Examples of these risk factors include diabetes, hypertension, and drug use; these various factors can greatly impact whether PWH develop renal disease. As with the general population, CVD is often comorbid with CKD and is another risk factor for developing renal dysfunction (Figure 5.2; see link to supplementary video 8).13
VIDEO 8: Cardio-Renal Axis
 Chris Longenecker, MD
Management of Renal Disease in PWH CKD Diagnostic Criteria and Testing Diagnosing renal impairment in PWH requires familiarity with the various diagnostic and classification criteria available for kidney disease. The criteria for CKD are outlined in Table 5.2 and must be present for more than 3 months and have implications for patient health.14 Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is challenging to accurately estimate among PWH. GFR is typically calculated using mathematic formulas validated in the general population. These formulas rely heavily on serum creatinine levels.15,16 In PWH, however, creatinine levels may not be a good measure of GFR, as newer ART (eg, dolutegravir, cobicistat) interfere with the secretion of creatinine in the proximal tubule, increasing serum creatinine levels without affecting the actual GFR.17 There has been some interest in considering cystatin C levels to estimate GFR, but studies have had mixed results on whether cystatin C–based estimations are more accurate than creatinine-based estimations.18-20 One option for clinicians attempting to estimate GFR in PWH receiving ART is to follow serum creatinine trends over time to determine the impact of ART on GFR estimations.
34
Monitoring for Renal Function Because of the elevated risk for renal disease, PWH should be monitored for renal function every 3 to 12 months, depending on baseline function, risk factors, and ART regimen. Risk for CKD among PWH can be calculated using the D:A:D (Data collection on Adverse events of Anti-HIV Drugs) Full or Short Risk Score models (Table 5.3). The scores from D:A:D risk models range from low risk (score <0) to high risk (score >5) and calculators can be found online.21
35
Selecting and Modifying ART for Renal Insufficiency For people with renal insufficiency or a high risk of CKD, TAF may be preferable to TDF to ensure efficacy and reduce the risk of renal damage. Similarly, atazanavir and indinavir may be avoided in people at high risk for kidney disease. Suggestions for other dosage adjustments among PWH who have renal insufficiency are outlined in Table 5.4.22
36
Considering ART dosage adjustments among PWH with renal insufficiency is particularly important in the context of the aging HIV-infected population. As PWH age, the proportion of comorbidities increases substantially, necessitating consideration of multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and the adherence and pill fatigue issues that accompany these issues.22-25
Key Clinical Highlights • The incidence of renal disease has decreased with ART use, but the prevalence is rising • The D:A:D risk models can be used to estimate risk of kidney disease among PWH • PWH should be screened for renal function every 3 to 12 months depending on the results of the D:A:D risk assessment, baseline kidney function, and ART regimen • Estimated GFR may not accurately reflect actual GFR; longitudinal trends in estimated GFR may be more informative • Switching from TDF to TAF may reduce the risk of renal damage
