Blood 2012;120: Monocyte populations are altered with HIV infection -Decreased classic monocytes (CD14++CD16-) -Increased CD16+ monocytes (elevated inflammation) -While HAART and virologic control shift monocyte populations towards normal, they remain altered compared with healthy non-HIV infected individuals.

Slide 10 of 13 From ET Overton, MD, at Washington, DC: April 15, 2016, IAS-USA. KEY RECOMMENDATIONS Clinicians should be aware that HIV-infected patients are at increased risk for ASCVD. Risk is independent of major established risk factors. A fasting lipid panel should be obtained in all newly identified HIV-infected patients. For primary prevention, HIV infection may be counted as an additional risk factor for risk stratification. Statin therapy is first-line therapy for elevated LDL-C and non-HDL-C. Drug-drug interactions must be considered. Atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and pitavastatin are preferred agents. High risk condition and residual risk: HIV-infected persons

Statins: Ideal Strategy to Reduce Non-AIDS and Vascular Events in HIV Traditional effects to lower LDL, effective to lower LDL (-26%), with few AEs (myositis 1.9%) in HIV Silverberg Annals 2009 Pleiotropic effects to reduce monocyte activation, chemo-attraction and vascular inflammation Funderburg CID 2013, Eckard JID 2014 Reduce events even among nonHIV patients with low LDL but increased inflammation Jupiter NEJM 2008 Use is low among HIV patients (19.6% in ACTG), clinicians awaiting results from RCTs ACTG survey

Slide 13 of 13 From ET Overton, MD, at Washington, DC: April 15, 2016, IAS-USA. Conclusions HIV and its therapy contribute to cardiac risk along with the traditional host factors Controlling viral replication partially reduces CVD risk. Early ART may significantly mitigate HIV-associated CVD risk. No reliable inflammatory markers to predict risk. Currently available risk scores fail to accurately estimate CVD risk in the setting of HIV infection. Smoking cessation, dietary and exercise interventions are effective. Statins may be of benefit in addition to lipid lowering effects. HOWEVER, more data are needed to inform use in traditional low risk populations.
