    Abstract Background: Lamivudine + dolutegravir maintenance dual therapy (DT) could be less effective than 3-drug therapy (TT) in the context of resistance-associated mutations to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). The ARCA database was queried to test this hypothesis with a trial emulation strategy.
    Methods: People with HIV taking 2 NRTIs plus a protease inhibitor or a non-NRTI who switched to DT or dolutegravir-based TT were followed up from the first HIV RNA <50 copies/mL (baseline) to virologic failure (VF; ie, 2 consecutive HIV RNA ≥50 copies/mL or 1 HIV RNA ≥200 copies/mL). Those switching to DT within 6 months were assigned to the treatment arm and all other patients to the control arm. Each participant was also cloned, assigned to the opposite strategy, and censored at the time of deviation from that strategy. Using inverse probability of censoring weight Cox regression models, we calculated hazard ratios of VF for DT vs TT stratified for the presence of resistance-associated mutations.
    Results: Overall 626 people were analyzed: 204 with DT and 422 with TT (73% men; mean age, 44 years). Ten and 31 VFs occurred with DT and TT, respectively, over a median 5.8 years. When compared with a fully active TT, the DT had similar efficacy (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.88; 95% CI, .29-2.61;
    Conclusions: DT was not associated with a significantly higher risk of VF than dolutegravir-based TT.

    Abstract Background: In May 2022, a new case of Monkeypox Virus (MPX) was reported in a non-endemic area, the United Kingdom, and since then, the number of confirmed cases in Europe has been increasing until WHO, on May 10 2023, declared that MPOX is no longer a public health emergency of international concern. We aimed to describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics of sixteen patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MPX followed by a single Italian clinical centre, the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli, between May 20 and August 30.
    Materials and methods: A prospective observational study has been conducted, collecting microbiological samples during the time of the infection, as well as epidemiological and clinical data of the patients. All patients provided written informed consent.
    Results: During clinical practice, 16 individuals presenting with consistent symptoms tested positive for MPX on a polymerase chain reaction. All patients were men having sex with men (MSM). The most frequent clinical presentation was a vesicular erythematous cutaneous rash, mainly distributed on the genital and perianal area, but also regarding limbs, face, neck, chest and back in some of the patients. Systemic symptoms, such as fever or lymphadenopathy, involved eight patients. The symptom most frequently reported by patients was pruritus in the area of the vesicles. Thirteen patients also reported pain. Nine patients were HIV-1 coinfected, but no significant differences have been observed compared to other cohort patients. The median time between the onset of symptoms and the healing was 19.5 days (IQR 14.0-20.3).
    Conclusions: Our cohort of patients presented a mild manifestation of the disease with no complications and no need for antiviral therapy nor hospitalization. This population seems different from the ones reported in the literature during the previous outbreaks in endemic areas in epidemiological data and clinical manifestations but also from a cohort of patients described in the literature from the 2022 outbreak, suggesting the importance for healthcare workers to keep in mind the possibility of an MPX infection in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with consistent symptoms, even in non-endemic areas, to ensure efficient isolation of the patient for infection control purposes and effective management of the infection preventing the development of MPOX-related complications.

    Abstract Background: Blood telomere length (BTL) is a validated biomarker of aging. ART reduces immunosenescence and has benefits in terms of BTL in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, it has also been observed that ART containing NRTIs, such as tenofovir or abacavir, which are potent inhibitors of human telomerase activity in vitro, might negatively affect BTL. Here we investigated the effects on BTL 1 year after switching to a dual therapy (DT) with dolutegravir + lamivudine versus maintaining a standard triple therapy (TT) with a two-NRTI backbone and an anchor drug.
    Methods: This was a longitudinal, prospective, matched, controlled study that included virologically suppressed adults on stable three-drug ART who either switched at baseline (BL) to DT or maintained TT. The DT and TT groups were 1:1 matched for age, sex, years since HIV diagnosis, years on ART and anchor drug. BTL was assessed by a monochrome multiplex qPCR at BL and after 48 weeks (W48).
    Results: We enrolled 120 PLWH, i.e. 60 participants in each group. At BL, the BTL means were comparable between the two groups (P = 0.973). At W48, viro-immunological status was stable and an overall increase in the mean BTL was observed, i.e., +0.161 (95%CI, 0.054-0.268) (P = 0.004). However, the within-group analysis showed a significant mean BTL gain in the DT group (P = 0.003) but not in the TT group (P = 0.656).
    Conclusions: In this setting of virologically suppressed PLWH, simplifying to dolutegravir + lamivudine was associated with a higher gain in BTL than maintaining triple therapy after the 1 year follow-up. These findings suggest that as a simplification strategy dolutegravir + lamivudine might have a positive effect on BTL.
