Abstract

Weight gain following the initiation or the switch of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is well documented and mainly associated with some of the most recent drugs, such as integrase strand transfer inhibitors and tenofovir alafenamide. However, limited data have been published on weight trends in ART-experienced people living with HIV (PLWH) with a long exposure to HIV infection and antiretroviral drugs. In our study, we assessed changes in weight after switching ART among PLWH who reported weight gain under a previous regimen.
