PRESTIGIO RING: "An 80-year-old man living with HIV resistant to all four antiretroviral classes and desiring treatment simplification"

New Microbiol. 2024 Jan;46(4):407-411.

Abstract

People aging with 4 antiretroviral class resistant HIV are a very challenging population. It is difficult to build up a fully suppressive regimen, and the high prevalence of comorbidities and polypharmacy may cause drug-drug interactions and put adherence at risk. We herein present the case of an 80-year-old man, participating in the PRESTIGIO registry, asking for a reduction in his antiretroviral burden while on polypharmacy for his comorbidities.

Keywords: Highly treatment experienced; elderly living with HIV; polypharmacy; simplification.
