Individuals with HIV experience a substantial burden of diabetes, with antiretroviral therapy (ART) exposure and longer treatment duration associated with a higher incidence of the metabolic condition, according to study results published in HIV Medicine.
As advances in ART have improved survival among individuals with HIV, chronic comorbidities such as diabetes have emerged as increasingly important determinants of long-term health outcomes. Although previous studies have examined the relationship between HIV infection, ART, and diabetes risk, findings have been inconsistent, and the overall incidence of diabetes in this population has remained uncertain.
To better characterize diabetes risk among individuals with HIV, researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating incident diabetes and prediabetes in adults with HIV. The researchers also assessed differences in diabetes incidence according to HIV status, ART exposure, and ART duration.
