Therapeutic aspects
The following lines are mainly focussed on clinical and diagnostic features of HIV & co-infection:
- HCV and HBV coinfection. Efficacy and safety of new direct-antiviral drugs (DAA) against HCV. Long- term follow up of patients treated with DAA. Strategies toward HCV eradication
- Antiretroviral treatment: efficacy and safety of new antiretroviral drugs
- Studies of resistance
- New antiretroviral strategies
- Primary HIV infection: eradication and functional cure strategies
- Use of Tirosine Knase inhibitors as a new strategy for HIV cure
-
Clinical and diagnostic aspects
- Pharmacogenomics and pharmacokinetics
- Opportunistic diseases associated to HIV infection: tuberculosis, human papillomavirus, anal cancer
- Solid organ transplantation in HIV-infected patients
- Incidence and management of non-AIDS defining events including infections, cardiovascular diseases, frailty, cancer and accelerated aging.
- Early diagnosis and treatment of HCV reinfection
- Pregnancy and HIV
- Impact evolution and prognostic factor of COVID-19 in HIV patients
- Immunological response of HIV patients to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines
-
