Important new clinical data: potential early virologic failure associated with the combination antiretroviral regimen of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, didanosine, and either efavirenz or nevirapine in HIV treatment-naive patients with high baseline viral loads
Conference reports
6th International Workshop on Adverse Drug Reactions and Lipodystrophy in HIV (IWADRLH) 26-28 October 2004, Washington
Nucleoside analogue-related mitochondrial toxicity and link to lipoatrophy: effect of non-thymidine analogues abacavir and tenofovir
Nucleosides reduce PPAR-gamma: a role for rosiglitazone without thymidine analogues?
Potential for uridine to treat mitochondrial toxicity: still only in vitro data
25% patients take Kaletra on an empty stomach: dietary advice often missed at ‘centre of excellence’
rHGH reduces central fat accumulation in adolescent lipodystrophy
Weight loss is associated with elevated PBMC proviral DNA levels
Coronary artery bypass graft is safe in HIV-positive patients but shows higher risk of longer term events
Endothelial dysfunction similar in ARV-experienced and -naive patients
Pravastatin improves lipid profiles but not endothelial function
Indinavir impairs endothelial function without insulin resistance
Treatment interruptions improve lipids within four weeks: IL-2 has no metabolic effect
Improvement of lipids following switch to tenofovir
HCV coinfection linked to discontinuing ART due to toxicity
Restorative treatments for HIV-associated lipoatrophy
44th Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC), 30 October-2 November 2004, Washington

Poor response with tenofovir and ddI backbone causes early study termination
Paradoxical CD4 response with tenofovir and ddI backbone
Tenofovir/FTC backbone outperforms AZT/3TC (Combivir) with efavirenz in treatment naive patients; reduced toxicity drives ITT viral efficacy
Limited stability of lopinavir/r (Kaletra) above 25°C
Atorvastatin requires dose reduction with tipranavir/r
Once-daily T-20 is less effective than twice daily: lower potency is related to C trough
Further genetic link to efavirenz absorption
Long-term response to FTC in children is similar to adults
Side effects update: hypersensitivity, heart, bones
