Abstract
BACKGROUND As the population of people with HIV ages, concerns over managing age-related comorbidities, polypharmacy, immune recovery, and drug-drug interactions while maintaining viral suppression have arisen. We present pooled TANGO and SALSA efficacy and safety results dichotomized by age (< 50 and ≥ 50 years). METHODS Week 48 data from the open-label phase 3 TANGO and SALSA trials evaluating switch to once-daily dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) fixed-dose combination vs continuing current antiretroviral regimen (CAR) were pooled. Proportions of participants with HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 and < 50 copies/mL (Snapshot, intention-to-treat exposed) and safety were analyzed by age category. Adjusted mean change from baseline in CD4 + cell count was assessed using mixed-models repeated-measures analysis. RESULTS Of 1234 participants, 80% of whom were male, 29% were aged ≥ 50 years. Among those aged ≥ 50 years, 1/177 (< 1%) DTG/3TC participant and 3/187 (2%) CAR participants had HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL at 48 weeks; proportions with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL were high in both treatment groups (≥ 92%), consistent with overall efficacy and similar to observations in participants aged < 50 years (≥ 93%). Regardless of age category, CD4 + cell count increased or was maintained from baseline with DTG/3TC. Change from baseline in CD4 + /CD8 + ratio was similar across age groups and between treatment groups. One CAR participant aged < 50 years had confirmed virologic withdrawal, but no resistance was detected. In the DTG/3TC group, incidence of adverse events (AEs) was similar across age groups. Proportions of AEs leading to withdrawal were low and comparable between age groups. Although drug-related AEs were generally low, across age groups, drug-related AEs were more frequent in participants who switched to DTG/3TC compared with those who continued CAR. While few serious AEs were observed in both treatment groups, more were reported in participants aged ≥ 50 years vs < 50 years. CONCLUSIONS Among individuals with HIV-1, switching to DTG/3TC maintained high rates of virologic suppression and demonstrated a favorable safety profile, including in those aged ≥ 50 years despite higher prevalence of concomitant medication use and comorbidities. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER TANGO, NCT03446573 (February 27, 2018); SALSA, NCT04021290 (July 16, 2019).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mortality rates among people with HIV have fallen since 1996 following the widespread availability of effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). Patterns of cause-specific mortality are evolving as the population with HIV ages. We aimed to investigate longitudinal trends in cause-specific mortality among people with HIV starting ART in Europe and North America. METHODS In this collaborative observational cohort study, we used data from 17 European and North American HIV cohorts contributing data to the Antiretroviral Therapy Cohort Collaboration. We included data for people with HIV who started ART between 1996 and 2020 at the age of 16 years or older. Causes of death were classified into a single cause by both a clinician and an algorithm if International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision or Tenth Revision data were available, or independently by two clinicians. Disagreements were resolved through panel discussion. We used Poisson models to compare cause-specific mortality rates during the calendar periods 1996-99, 2000-03, 2004-07, 2008-11, 2012-15, and 2016-20, adjusted for time-updated age, CD4 count, and whether the individual was ART-naive at the start of each period. FINDINGS Among 189 301 people with HIV included in this study, 16 832 (8·9%) deaths were recorded during 1 519 200 person-years of follow-up. 13 180 (78·3%) deaths were classified by cause: the most common causes were AIDS (4203 deaths; 25·0%), non-AIDS non-hepatitis malignancy (2311; 13·7%), and cardiovascular or heart-related (1403; 8·3%) mortality. The proportion of deaths due to AIDS declined from 49% during 1996-99 to 16% during 2016-20. Rates of all-cause mortality per 1000 person-years decreased from 16·8 deaths (95% CI 15·4-18·4) during 1996-99 to 7·9 deaths (7·6-8·2) during 2016-20. Rates of all-cause mortality declined with time: the average adjusted mortality rate ratio per calendar period was 0·85 (95% CI 0·84-0·86). Rates of cause-specific mortality also declined: the most pronounced reduction was for AIDS-related mortality (0·81; 0·79-0·83). There were also reductions in rates of cardiovascular-related (0·83, 0·79-0·87), liver-related (0·88, 0·84-0·93), non-AIDS infection-related (0·91, 0·86-0·96), non-AIDS-non-hepatocellular carcinoma malignancy-related (0·94, 0·90-0·97), and suicide or accident-related mortality (0·89, 0·82-0·95). Mortality rates among people who acquired HIV through injecting drug use increased in women (1·07, 1·00-1·14) and decreased slightly in men (0·96, 0·93-0·99). INTERPRETATION Reductions of most major causes of death, particularly AIDS-related deaths among people with HIV on ART, were not seen for all subgroups. Interventions targeted at high-risk groups, substance use, and comorbidities might further increase life expectancy in people with HIV towards that in the general population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess updated mortality and causes of death in people with HIV (PWH) in France. DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed all deaths in PWH followed up between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021, in 11 hospitals in the Paris region. We described the characteristics and causes of death among deceased PWH, and evaluated the incidence of mortality and associated risk factors using a multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Of the 12 942 patients followed in 2020--2021, 202 deaths occurred. Mean annual incidence of death [95% confidence interval (95% CI)] was 7.8 per 1000 PWH (6.3-9.5). Forty-seven patients (23%) died from non-AIDS nonviral hepatitis (NANH)-related malignancies, 38 (19%) from non-AIDS infections (including 21 cases of COVID-19), 20 (10%) from AIDS, 19 (9%) from cardiovascular diseases (CVD), 17 (8.4%) from other causes, six (3%) from liver diseases, and five (2.5%) from suicides/violent deaths. The cause of death was unknown in 50 (24.7%) patients. Risks factors for death were age [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.93; 1.66-2.25 by additional decade), AIDS history (2.23; 1.61-3.09), low CD4 + cell count (1.95; 1.36-2.78 for 200-500 cells/μl and 5.76; 3.65-9.08 for ≤200 versus > 500 cells/μl), and viral load more than 50 copies/ml (2.03; 1.33-3.08), both at last visit. CONCLUSION NANH malignancies remained in 2020-2021 the first cause of death. COVID-19 accounted for more than half of the mortality related to non-AIDS infections over the period. Aging, AIDS history, and a poorer viro-immunological control were associated with death.

Abstract
The continuing increase in patient numbers and improvement in healthcare provisions of HIV services in the UK, alongside the effectiveness of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), has resulted in increasing numbers of the ageing population among people living with HIV (PLWH). It is expected that geriatricians will need to deal with many older people living with HIV (OPLWH) as life expectancy increases. Therefore, geriatric syndromes in OPLWH will be similar to the normal population, such as falls, cognitive decline, frailty, dementia, hypertension, diabetes and polypharmacy. The increase in the long-term use of cART, diabetes, dyslipidaemia and hypertension may lead to high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The treatment of such conditions may lead to polypharmacy and may increase the risk of cART drug-drug interactions. In addition, the risk of developing infection and cancer is high. OPLWH may develop an early onset of low bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis and fractures. In this review, we have also provided potential psychosocial aspects of an ageing population with HIV, addressing issues such as depression, stigma, isolation and the need for comprehensive medical and psychosocial care through an interdisciplinary team in a hospital or community setting. OPLWH have a relatively high burden of physical, psychological, and spiritual needs and social difficulties, which require palliative care. The holistic type of palliative care that will improve physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing is discussed in this review.

Abstract
With improved access to antiretroviral therapy throughout the world, people are aging with HIV, and a large portion of the global population of people with HIV (PWH) is now age 50 or older. Older PWH experience more comorbidities, aging-related syndromes, mental health challenges, and difficulties accessing fundamental needs than the population of older adults without HIV. As a result, ensuring that older PWH are receiving comprehensive healthcare can often be overwhelming for both PWH and the providers. Although there is a growing literature addressing the needs of this population, gaps remain in care delivery and research. In this paper, we suggest seven key components to any healthcare program designed to address the needs of older people with HIV: management of HIV, comorbidity screening and treatment, primary care coordination and planning, attention to aging related-syndromes, optimization of functional status, support of behavioral health, and improved access to basic needs and services. We review many of the difficulties and controversies related to the implementation of these components, which include the absence of screening guidelines for this population and the challenges of care integration, and we suggest key next steps.
