Weight Gain from Integrase Inhibitors?
While HIV treatment has come a long way over the decades, it still faces challenges. Specifically, HIV therapy such as integrase inhibitors have been associated with increased weight gain but the mechanism and extent of which has remained largely unknown. Listen in as Dave Hachey, HIV expert, and Geoff Wall discuss this and how it impacts medication selection when caring for patients with HIV.
The Gamechanger:
- The risk of weight gain with integrase inhibitor and other potential HIV regimens should be discussed with patients
- Patients’ comorbidities should risk factors should be considered when determining an appropriate treatment regimen
- Studies suggest that the mechanism of weight gain from integrase inhibitors and older agents such as tenofovir alafenamide is different, although more research is needed
