Immunological, Cognitive, and Psychiatric Outcomes After Initiating Efavirenz- and Dolutegravir-based Antiretroviral Therapy During Acute Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection

BACKGROUND: Efavirenz (EFV)- and dolutegravir (DTG)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the former and current recommended regimen for treatment-naive individuals with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Whether they impact the immunological and neuropsychiatric profile differentially rem...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Efavirenz (EFV)- and dolutegravir (DTG)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the former and current recommended regimen for treatment-naive individuals with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Whether they impact the immunological and neuropsychiatric profile differentially remains unclear. METHODS: This retrospective analysis included 258 participants enrolled during acute HIV-1 infection (AHI). Participants initiated 1 of 3 ART regimens during AHI: EFV-based (n = 131), DTG-based (n = 92), or DTG intensified with maraviroc (DTG/MVC, n = 35). All regimens included 2 nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors and were maintained for 96 weeks. CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell counts, mood symptoms, and composite score on a 4-test neuropsychological battery (NPZ-4) were compared. RESULTS: At baseline, the median age was 26 years, 99% were male, and 36% were enrolled during Fiebig stage I–II. Plasma viral suppression at weeks 24 and 96 was similar between the groups. Compared with the EFV group, the DTG group showed greater increments of CD4+ (P < .001) and CD8+ (P = .015) T-cell counts but a similar increment of CD4/CD8 ratio at week 96. NPZ-4 improvement was similar between the 2 groups at week 24 but greater in the DTG group at week 96 (P = .005). Depressive mood and distress symptoms based on the Patient Health Questionnaire and distress thermometer were similar between the 2 groups at follow-up. Findings for the DTG/MVC group were comparable to those for the DTG group vs the EFV group. CONCLUSIONS: Among individuals with AHI, 96 weeks of DTG-based ART was associated with greater increments of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell counts and improvement in cognitive performance.
