HIV Coinfections, Malignancies, andComorbidities • HIV-hepatitis C coinfection • HIV-hepatitis B coinfection • Hepatotoxicity, HIV-hep coinfection, and antiretroviral therapy • HIV-related malignancies • Psychiatric concerns in persons with HIV
HIV Hep C 40 million 200 million 10 million Overlapping HCV and HIV Epidemics Up to 33% of HIV+ patients in EuroSIDA are HCV Ab+ (75% among intravenous-drug users)
Variables to Consider Before Initiating HCV Therapy in HIV+ Patients • HIV-related: • CD4 • HIV RNA • Antiretroviral therapy • Liver-related: • Genotype • HCV load • Transaminases • Histology • Others: • Neuropsychiatric history • Drug addiction and alcohol consumption

Main Predictors of Sustained Virologic Response • HCV genotype • Baseline HCV RNA • Adherence (80/80/80) • Week 4 virologic response (best positive predictive value [PPV] of sustained virologic response [SVR])
What Can We Do to Improve SVR in HIV/HCV Coinfection? • Select candidates correctly • Prevent and optimally manage side effects • Enhance early virologic response • Induction doses: peg-IFN and/or RBV • Reduce relapse rates • Extending the length of therapy
HIV-neg: Fried et al. N Engl J Med. 2002 HIV-pos: Soriano et al. Antivir Ther. 2004 RBV 800 mg and genos 2-3 tx 24 months Week 12 Predictive Value of SVR 65% YES 86% 56% SVR 35% YES 58% n = 453 NO HCV RNA drop > 2 logs 44% 3% n = 89 NO YES 14% 0% SVR 97% 42% NO 100%
PRESCO Trial: Design G1,4 Follow-up G1,4 Follow-up Peg-IFN + RBV 1000-1200 mg/day N = 391 G2,3 Follow-up G2,3 Follow-up 84 72 60 48 96 24 36 12 0 Study Weeks Only patients who achieved EVR (>2 log drop in HCV RNA at week 12) continued treatment.
APRICOT (800 mg/day) vs PRESCO (1000–1200 mg/day): G1 Week 4 Response On-treatment analysis Ramos et al. Antivir Ther. 2006 (in press)
Week 4 Virologic ResponseAccording to HIV Status and RBV Dose PRESCO: HIV+ and RBV high Fried: HIV-neg and RBV high APRICOT: HIV+ and RBV low
Clinical Interpretation • HIV negativelyaffects the early virologic response to HCV therapy • Prescription of appropriate (high) RBV doses increase early virologic response mainly in genotypes 1 and 4, but also in genotypes 2 and 3

Impact of HBV Infectionon HIV Outcome • 111 HIV/HBV-coinfected patients and 387 HIV-infected patients without HBV or HCV prospectively observed between June 1994 and February 2003 • After a median of 25 months • Coinfected patients were more likely to develop hepatitis • Coinfected patients were much more likelyto develop hepatic decompensation • HBV-infected patients had an increased riskfor virologic failure and death after HAART was initiated Sheng WH, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2004;38:1471-1477.
Occult HBV Is Frequent in HIV Patients, Is More Common in Patients With Chronic HCV, and Enhances Severity of Liver Disease • 955 HIV-infected patients from 4 ID units in Italy • 581 (61%) anti-HBc+ • 64 (7%) HBsAg+ • 361 (38%) anti-HBs+ • 190 (20%) anti-HBc+ alone • 402 (42%) coinfected with HCV • Liver cirrhosis observed only in HCV+ patients • 16% in anti-HBc+ vs 1.5% in anti-HBc- (P < .0001) Marino N, et al. EASL 2005. Abstract 514.
HBV Evaluation and Monitoringin HIV/HBV-Coinfected Patients • 362 HIV patients found to be HBsAg+ between 1999 and 2003 in Parkland HIV Clinic • Patients identified as HBsAg+ after 1999 are receiving HBV testing more rapidly • Still, almost 50% initially identified as HBsAg+ did not receive initial evaluation for HBV status, cirrhosis, or HCC Opio CK, et al. DDW 2005. Abstract S932.
HBV Goals of Therapy • Long-term viral suppression • No resistance development • Decrease risk of HCC • What is optimal therapy?
Currently Approved Antiviral Therapies • Interferon alfa-2b • Peginterferon alfa-2a • Lamivudine (LAM) • Adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) • Entecavir (ETV)

LAM + TDF Shows Greater Decline in HBV DNA Than LAM Alone or LAM Prior to LAM + TDF in HBV/HIV-Coinfected Patients • Group 1 (n=10) received LAM 150 mg bid only; group 2 (n=8), LAM + TDF 300 mg qd, and group 3 (n=12), ≥1 yr of LAM followed by LAM + TDF • Group 2 had greatest average log drop at year 1, 3.2 logs, compared with 1.5 and 1.1 logs in groups 1 and 3, respectively (P = .05) • Sequential regimen less effective than in previous controlled trials • Most patients in this study have HBV genotype A and appear more likely to respond to either therapy than those with non-A genotypes • Study is ongoing, as more data are needed to confirm these findings and explore possible synergy between LAM and TDF Mamta K, et al. 55th AASLD.

Patterns of Steatosis Macrovesicular steatosis: • Hepatocytes contain a single large vacuole of fat (TG) that fills up the cell and displaces the nucleus to the periphery Microvesicular steatosis: • Hepatocytes are filled up with numerous small lipid vesicles that leave the nucleus in the center of the cell • “Its presence implies impairment of mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids and severe energy crisis” – D. Pessayre
Role of Hepatic Steatosis in HIV/HCV-Coinfected Patients McGovern B et al. Clin Infect Dis (2006); in press.
HAART and Hepatotoxicity • 10,000 patients from 21 ACTG trials • High rate of severe drug-induced liver injury (DILI) irrespective of class • 3,927 pts with follow-up for 3 years on ART • The most common grade 4 adverse events were liver related • Risk was higher in patients with viral hepatitis (OR = 5.97 for HBV; OR = 2.74 for HCV) Reisler, IAS 2001, Buenos Aires, Abst. 43; Reisler, J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr. 2003;34.
NRTIs and Mitochondrial Toxicity • Impaired mitochondrial function can lead to a decrease in fatty acid oxidation • FFAs accumulate and are metabolized to triglycerides • Long-term administration can lead to hepatic steatosis

PIs and Hepatotoxicity • Ritonavir use had a higher overall incidence of moderate and severe hepatotoxicity compared with other PIs • Conflicting data in subsequent large cohorts using high-dose ritonavir; however, low-dose appears to be safe • Nelfinavir and indinavir associated with lowest incidence of DILI in one large cohort Cooper, CID 2003;36:1585; Sulkowksi, AIDS 2004;18:2277; Bruno, Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2005;3:482.

Can We Avoid Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) by Risk Stratification? • Gender • HIV infection and low glutathione levels • Genetic polymorphisms: CYP2D6 • Obesity • Acetylator status • Age • Duration of treatment • Alcohol use and ROS, 2E1, glutathione • New risk factor: Chronic viral hepatitis
Cumulative Effects of Liver Injury • Is a “trial by error” approach potentially harmful? • Reports of worsening histology after HAART • 17 patients with severe hepatotoxicity: • Four-month “washout” period • 59% successfully tolerated their medications • However, 41% had another episode of DILI! • Hepatotoxicity is a sign that should be evaluated Puoti, J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr. 2003;32:259; Aceti, Int J STD AIDS. 2005;16:148.
Prevention of DILI • Pitfalls and limitations of current data • Assessment of risk • Does the patient have chronic viral hepatitis? • What are the baseline aminotransferases? • Evaluate synthetic function • Staging of liver disease • Monitoring of laboratories • Education of the patient!
