Article Abstract
Objective: The objective was to evaluate the association between age-related comorbidities (ARCs) and 5-year HIV-related excess mortality in people living with HIV aged ≥60 years.
Design: Cohort study using relative survival analysis (Estève's model).
Setting: The French multicentre prospective Dat'AIDS cohort that involves 12 French hospitals.
Participants: Inclusion of 1415 HIV-1 infected patients actively followed aged ≥60 years on January 2008, with a 5-year follow-up period in the late combination antiretroviral therapy era.
Results: Among 1415 patients included, 154 died. By multivariable analysis, factors predictive of 5-year HIV-related excess mortality were non-AIDS-related cancer (adjusted excess HR (aEHR)=2.94; 95% CI 1.32 to 6.57), cardiovascular disease (aEHR=6.00; 95% CI 2.45 to 14.65), chronic renal disease (aEHR=4.86; 95% CI 2.24 to 10.53), cirrhosis (aEHR=3.58; 95% CI 1.25 to 10.28), hepatitis C co-infection (aEHR=3.63; 95% CI 1.44 to 9.12), body mass index<18.5 kg/m² (aEHR=4.10; 95% CI 1.61 to 10.48) and having a CD4 cell count ≤200/mm (aEHR=5.79; 95% CI 2.28 to 14.69).
Conclusions: ARCs, particularly cardiovascular disease and chronic renal disease, are predictive of HIV-related excess mortality, with an increase in hazard similar to that of CD4 cell count.

Neutrophils in HIV pathogenesis: dual roles, clinical implications, and therapeutic frontiers.
Ann Med Surg (Lond)

Neutrophils, the most abundant innate immune cells, play a complex role in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, balancing between protective immunity and pathogenic inflammation. Initially, neutrophils contribute to early viral containment through phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, their excessive activation in chronic HIV infection can lead to systemic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and tissue damage.

Purpose: To characterize causes of death in patients with bone metastases and to support data-driven approaches to survivorship planning and clinical decision-making in this population.
Methods: Using data from the SEER registry (2010-2021), we identified 186,404 patients with newly diagnosed bone metastases. Causes of death were classified as related to the cancer-specific, non-cancer, or subsequent cancer.
Brain levels of the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid are reduced in people with HIV-related neuropathic pain.

Previous studies suggest a dysregulation of the inhibitory γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and the excitatory glutamate/glutamine (Glx) neurotransmitter systems in people living with chronic pain. Here, we test this hypothesis in people with HIV (PWH) on stable antiretroviral therapy, either with or without neuropathic pain (PWHpain and PWHnopain, respectively), and people without HIV and pain (Ctrl). Fourteen PWHpain (age, mean ± SD: 59 ± 6.

Unhealthy alcohol use among adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYAH), is common and poses risks to their health and social wellbeing. However, research that explores comorbid unhealthy drinking and HIV among AYAH is limited in Uganda. We conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with 14 AYAH who self-reported current alcohol use, recruited from the adolescent immunosuppression (ISS) clinic of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital in Southwestern Uganda.

Background: Incomplete vital statistics systems in resource-limited countries hinder accurate HIV epidemic assessments. Population-based survey data combined with HIV infection biomarkers may partially address this gap, providing excess mortality estimates in households where people living with HIV (PLWH) reside.
Objective: Examine household-level excess HIV mortality in households with PLWH using population-based survey data, including mortality reported by heads of households, and HIV biomarkers.
