Incidence of Nephrotoxicity among People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus on Tenofovir Treatment in a Tertiary Hospital in the Philippines
Marja Bernardo-Buensalido, Cybele Lara R. Abad
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is one of the main antiretroviral drugs of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWHIV). Despite its efficacy and tolerability, there is conflicting evidence regarding TDF-associated nephrotoxicity, which is proposed to cause injury by accumulation of tenofovir (TFV) within proximal tubular cells leading to mitochondrial injury and tissue hypoxia.

Pregnancy Outcomes in Pregnant Women with HIV on Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) Compared to Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF)
Matthew A. Thimm, Alison Livingston, Rosemary Ramroop, Ahizechukwu C. Eke
HIV infection in pregnancy continues to be of significant clinical and public health importance [1,2]. The current statistics published by the World Health Organization (WHO) demonstrate that 38 million people are living with HIV in 2019, and 1.1 million (85%) pregnant women living with HIV received antiretroviral therapy (ARVs) during pregnancy and postpartum.

Known and New Routes to Neutralize HIV-1 with Camelid Single Chain Antibody Fragments
C. Theo Verrips, Gerben ten Hag, Ursula Dietrich, Harold Marcotte
In spite of all efforts to reduce transmission of HIV-1, 1.7 million persons were infected in 2019 worldwide. Whereas in the developed countries the COVID-19 pandemic is reasonably controlled within 2 years because of the fast and successful development of vaccines, nearly 40 years after the first reported cases of AIDS due to HIV-1 and in spite of tremendous efforts to develop vaccines against HIV-1, there are still no vaccines against the virus.

Tenofovir Alafenamide, Emtricitabine, and Bictegravir in Switch Strategy for HIV-1 Adult Patients Due to Previous Renal Impairment Induced by Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate
R Correia de Abreu, C Batista, S Caetano, Isabel Neves
Non-AIDS comorbidities, metabolic, renal and bone toxicities associated to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), namely NRTIs, led to dual therapy (NUC sparing regimens). Tenofovir Alafenamide Fumarate (TAF) demonstrated improved renal and bone safety profile over TDF even with mild to moderate renal impairment.

Patient Satisfaction and Perceptions Regarding Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) Services in Rural Southwestern Uganda
Amunyongire R, Nuwagaba E, Atuhaire J, Nduhuura E, Ndebiika A, Turyasingura O, Ntaro M, Rukundo GZ, Nambozi G
Patient satisfaction and perception of the healthcare services received contribute to compliance with treatment guidelines, retention in care, and adherence to recommendations. This is especially so in the treatment of chronic medical conditions such as HIV/AIDS. The success of antiretroviral therapy (ART) plays a fundamental role in determining the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs).

We present two unique cases in which two HIV positive patients with generalized lymphadenopathy and pancytopenia without any skin lesions were diagnosed with primary lymph node Kaposi´s Sarcoma after excisional biopsy of an inguinal lymph node.
CCR5 Inhibitors and HIV-1 Infection
Cellular components are attractive targets for antiviral therapy because they do not mutate as readily as do viral proteins do [1-3]. The identification of CCR5 as an HIV-1 coreceptor [4-7], facilitated by the discovery of the antiviral activities of CCR5 ligand ?-chemokines [8], resulted in the development of new viral entry inhibitors to block CCR5 binding, including both- small molecules and CCR5 antibodies

Recent Progress in Preclinical HIV-1 Vaccine Research
Since isolation in humans in 1983 [1,2], HIV-1 has developed into a global pandemic. But an effective HIV-1 vaccine has not been succeeded despite multiple human vaccine trials performed [3,4]. Challenges to an effective vaccine arise from intrinsic virological and immunological features of HIV-1 [3-8].
Anti-HIV-1 Activity of Crocodylus mindorensis (Philippine Crocodile) Serum in Cell-free and Cell-associated Virus Interactions to Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
Highly-Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) is the recommended treatment and management strategy for HIV infection. Although the existing antiretroviral drugs are indispensably significant in improving the quality and extending the lives of HIV/ AIDS individuals, the drugs still have many limitations including development of resistance, production of toxicity, and their limited availability.
