Growing Older with HIV
HIV and Aging: what does this mean for the medication cocktail?
HIV and Aging
- More and more HIV patients are living longer
- Aging process is more accelerated in an HIV+ patient vs HIV-
due to increased inflammation
- Classified at ≥ 50 YO
- Virally suppressed HIV+ patients are more prone to death
from non-AIDS co-morbidities
Wing, Edward J. HIV and aging. International Journal of Infectious Disease 53 (2006) 61-68.
AGEhIV: Older HIV-Infected Patients at Increased Risk for Multiple Co-Morbidities

AGEhIV Comorbidities
Schouten J, et al. The AGEnIV Cohort Study. Clin Infect Dis. 2014;59:1787-1797.
Factors Related to Non-AIDS Co-morbidities in HIV-Infected Patients
- AGING
- Chronic HIV infection
- HCV and other coinfections
- Genetics
- Obesity, exercise, diet,
smoking
- Stress
- Depression
- Inflammation and
fibrosis
- Dyslipidemia
- Insulin resistance
- Decreased physical
functioning
- Cardiovascular
- Renal
- Metabolic
- Functional
- Neuropsychiatric
Warriner AH, et al. Infect Dis Clin North Am. 2014; 28:457-476.
HIV and Inflammation
- Hypothesis: HIV infection induces a persistent
inflammatory response, resulting in pathogenic responses and end-organ disease
- Elevated levels of inflammatory markers associated with
increased risk of non-AIDS co-morbidities and mortality in HIV-infected patients
- ART partially reduces some inflammatory biomarker levels

Inflammation Associated with Disease in Treated HIV Infection
- Mortality
- Cardiovascular Disease*
- Cancer
- Venous Thromboembolism
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Renal Disease
- Cognitive Dysfunction
- Depression Functional impairment/frailty*

Cardiovascular Disease and HIV
- HIV+ patients are at increased risk for cardiovascular
disease (CVD), including myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke.
- Patients with HIV should undergo screening for CV risk
using the ACC/AHA risk calculator
- Prevention to lower risk of CVD include:
- Diet
- Exercise
- Smoking cessation
- Evaluation of lipid-lowering agents
(Smart 2006, McComsey 2012, Torriani 2008)
Screening and Assessing Cardiovascular Risk
- 10 Year ASCVD Risk: Pooled Cohort Equation
- Demographics
- Age (40-79 year), gender and race
- History
- HTN, DM, tobacco use
- Measurements
- Total Cholesterol, HDL, systolic blood pressure

ART to Avoid in High Cardiac Risk Patients
- Consider avoiding ABC- and LPV/r-based regimen
- Switch Boosted PI to DTG in suppressed patients with High
CV Risk2
- Hyperlipidemia: Pl/r, AVC, EFB and EVG/c have been
associated with increased serum lipids
- HTN medications: PI and COBI combos can interfere with
the rhythm of the heart (PR or QTc intervals)
- Anticoagulants: Aspirin and Heparin no interactions; need
to monitor all other medications for DDI

Hypertension and HIV
- Analysis of HTN in HIV infected patients from 1996-2013
- 1996: 1.68 cases/100 patients
- 2013: 5.35 cases/100 patients
- Key risk factors:
- Age
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Renal insufficiency
- Nadir CD4+ cell count < 500 cells/mm3
Okeke NL, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2016; 63:242-248.
The Concept of Frailty
- Multisystem clinical syndrome that reflects biological rather then
chronological age; regarded as the end-stage state1
- Associated with loss of functional homeostasis, inability to
recover fully after stressors, and morbidity and excess mortality1
- Risk Factors: Mental Health, Obesity, Arthritis, Viral Hepatitis2

Frailty Phenotype
Frailty Characteristic Clinical Criteria* Shrinking Unintentional weight loss (>10 lbs) in prior year Muscle weakness Poor grip strength Poor endurance/exhaustion Self-reported exhaustion Slowness Walking time per 15 ft Low activity Low kcal/week expenditure *frailty defined as presence of ≥ 3 criteria; prefrailty as presence of 1-2 criteria

patients in the AGEhIV cohort

Treatment for Frailty
- There is no treatment
- Preventative measures:
- Managing polypharmacy
- Exercise
- Nutrition
Willig, AL, et al. The Silent Epidemic - Frailty and Aging with HIV. Total Patient Care HIV HCV. 2016;1(1):6-7.
Bone Health and HIV
- Frailty is more prevalent among HIV-infected vs HIV-uninfected
individuals
- Fracture prevalence and low BMD is common among patients
with HIV
- Some ART regimens have larger impact on BMD loss than others
- Backbone: consider FTC/TAF or ABC/3TC vs FTC/TDF
- Greater BMD loss observed with PI-based vs RAL-based regimens
- Avoid TDF
DHHS Guidelines: Antiretroviral Agents for Adults, https://aidsinfo.nih.gov/guidelines
Recommendations for Evaluation of Bone Disease in HIV
HIV-Infected Population Assessment Monitoring Men 40-49 yrs of age Premenopausal women ≥ 40 years of age
- Assess risk of fragility
fracture using the FRAX
- For patients with FRAX
score ≤ 10%, monitor FRAX in 2-3 yrs
- For patients with FRAX
score > 10% perform DXA Men ≥ 50 yrs of age Postmenopausal women Patients with fragility fracture history, receiving chronic glucocorticoids, or high risk of falls
- Assess BMD using DXA
- For patients with
advanced osteopenia monitor DXA in 1-2 urs
- For patients with mild or
moderate osteopenia, monitor DXA in 5 yrs
- For patients started on
bisphosphonates, repeat DXA in 2 yrs
Brown TT, et al. Clinic Infect Dis. 2015;60:1242-1251.
Mental Health and HIV
- What is the cause? HIV or present prior to infection?
- Which condition takes treatment priority?
- Mental health medications have many DDI interactions with
ART
- Mental health must be under control to achieve ART adherence
- ART regimen determines what mental health medications can
be prescribed
Syphilis and HIV
- Syphilis incidence continues to increase within the HIV population
- HIV-infected patients with syphilis should have a detailed neurologic
- examination. Abnormal symptoms should undergo cerebrospinal
fluid (CSF) analysis.
- Test for Neurosyphilis: neurological dysfunction (eyes or ears),
- Penicillin (IM, IV) is the treatment of choice for syphilis

HIV + HCV + Opioids
- Commonality between HIV
, HCV and opioid epidemic
- Resources:
- AIDSVu: https://aidsvu.org
- HEPVu: https://hepvu.org
- amfAR: http://opioid.amfar.org
- Indiana HIV outbreak in 2015 linked to IDU
- Over 140 cases reported that year
Substance Abuse and HIV
- COMPLEX!!!!!
- Substance abuse causative or a cofactor!?!?!?
- Substance abuse includes, but not limited to:
- Alcohol, opioids, cocaine/crack, methamphetamine, MDMA
(ecstasy or molly), benzodiazepines, marijuana, ketamine, GHB, anabolic steroids, nitrate inhalants, barbiturates, nicotine, synthetic compounds
Substance Abuse and HIV , continued
- Team efforts for patient care
- Case management
- Primary care provider
- Substance abuse prescriber
- Mental health
- Pharmacists
- Must become substance free
HIV Diagnosis in the Aging
- HIV diagnosis at age 50 or greater
- Elderly population on the rise for STDs, HIV is no exception
- Prioritizing disease state management
- Initiating ART is different based on the aging of the body
- Polypharmacy is real!
DHHS: Initial Selection ART Based on Age-Related Co-morbidity
Scenario Consider Avoiding Recommendation with Considerations CKD (eFGR <60 mL/min)
- TDF, especially in
RTV-containing regimens
- TAF (if eGFR > 30 mL/min)
- ABC/3TC (HLA-B 5701 negative; 3TC need dose
adjustment for CrCL < 50 mL/min)
- DRV/RTV + RAL (VL < 100,000 copies/mL
and CD4+ > 200 cells/mm3)
- LPV/RTV + 3TC (3TC need dose adjustment for
CrCL < 50 mL/min)
Osteoporosis
- TDF
- TAF
- ABC/3TC (HLA-B 5701 negative)
CVD risk
- ABC
Hyperlipidemia
- PI/RTV or
PI/COBI
- EVG/COBI
- DTG
- RAL
- TDF
Pharmacists Managing HIV: Unlimited Potential
Role Outcomes Patient/caregiver educators Improved adherence to Medication Medication manager/Polypharmacy Improved CD4+ and VL Provision of adherence reminder device Patients more engaged Synchronization of medications Cost savings Coordination of refills Decreased # visits to PCP/hospital Care plans/action plans/progress notes Pharmacy detective Collaborative practice protocols Point of care testing + link to care
Stigma and HIV
- Very present and interferes with care/adherence
- Still believed it is a MSM disease
- Empower through HIV education
- Know how to prevent and know your status!
PrEP
- Game changer with stigma, depression and life style for
HIV population
- Who should be on it?
- Men vs Women on PrEP
- Should children or young adults take PrEP
- What about our seniors?
Is There a Chance for HIV Cure?
Keeping Healthy HIV Patients Healthy
- Adhere to HIV mediations
- Quit smoking
- Refine diet and maintain normal weight
- Exercise
- Reduce alcohol intake; avoid recreational drugs

ART Tips for Older Pts
- ART is recommended for EVERYONE regardless of CD4
count
- Organ functions must be closely monitored
- Polypharmacy more likely to occur
- Collaboration between healthcare providers is important
- Focus: education, prevention and care
