3 Learning Objectives Upon completion of this presentation, learners should be better able to: Highlight potential mechanism for persistent inflammation with chronic HIV infection. Demonstrate how chronic inflammation contributes to metabolic comorbidities.

4 Case 1 A 40 yo male presents for care. His CD4 count is 325 c/mm3 (16%) with a plasma HIV RNA of 42,000 cp/ml. He smokes and had a BMI of 24.5 kg/m 2. Total cholesterol is 196 mg/dl, LDL 125 mg/dl, HDL 25 mg/dl, TG 175mg/dL. His parents are alive and healthy. BP is 145/80. He does not exercise. What is the most important intervention to reduce cardiovascular disease risk?

5 What is the most important intervention to reduce cardiovascular disease risk? A. Smoking cessation B. Initiate Mediterranean Diet C. Initiate statin D. Initiate daily aspirin E. Initiate ART 20% 20% 20% 20% 20% A. B. C. D. E. 10

13 Non-AIDS Comorbidities Significant contribution of traditional risk factors Genetics Diet Lifestyle/environment Increasing substance and tobacco use increase risk Issues for the future Role of HIV Role of ART Are effects reversible Is early treatment key? Is management different in HIV infection? HIV infection and ART likely increase the risk Chronic viral infection Persistent inflammation Immune activation
