“…When it comes to assessing diet adherence among PLWH, it was previously seen in a study that overweighted HIV positive individuals tend to have a higher adherence to Mediterranean diet compared to the rest of the group[ 68 ]. It is hypothesized that due to the moderate risk of CVD and a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, there is an increased awareness towards a healthier food pattern to avoid further complications[ 68 ]. In that sense, when introducing IF to PLWH we believe that adherence will not be a real problem indeed and PLWH with higher risk factors would be more prone to adhere to the new dietary regimen.…”

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become one of the commonest causes of comorbidity and mortality among People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Nearly 50% of PLWH are likely to have an increased risk of developing CVD, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease and aortic atherosclerosis. Aside from the common risk factors, HIV infection itself and side effects of antiretroviral therapy contribute to the pathophysiology of this entity. Potential non-pharmacological therapies are currently being tested worldwide for this purpose, including eating patterns such as Intermittent fasting (IF). IF is a widespread practice gaining high level of interest in the scientific community due to its potential benefits such as improvement in serum lipids and lipoproteins, blood pressure (BP), platelet-derived growth factor AB, systemic inflammation, and carotid artery intima-media thickness among others cardiovascular benefits. This review will focus on exploring the potential role of intermittent fasting as a non-pharmacological and cost-effective strategy in decreasing the burden of cardiovascular diseases among HIV patients on ART due to its intrinsic properties improving the main cardiovascular risk factors and modulating inflammatory pathways related to endothelial dysfunction, lipid peroxidation and aging. Intermittent fasting regimens need to be tested in clinical trials as an important, cost-effective, and revolutionary coadjutant of ART in the fight against the increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease in PLWH.

“…For 1.1 million people with HIV (PWH) in the U.S., adherence to a self-management regimen is essential to maintaining optimal health (Linley et al, 2018). Three core components of an HIV/AIDS self-management regimen are adhering to HIV anti-retroviral therapy (ART) (Bangsberg et al, 2001; Schaecher, 2013,), engaging in regular physical activity (Brien, Tynan, Nixon, & Glazier, 2016; Dirajlal-Fargo et al, 2016; Jaggers & Hand, 2016), and eating a healthy diet (Fields-Gardner et al, 2010; Policarpo, Rodrigues, Moreira, & Valadas, 2017). Despite the importance of these aspects of self-management, adherence to them is often less than optimal for many, resulting in worsening health, an increase in associated symptoms, and an exacerbation of related co-morbid conditions (Bauer, Briss, Goodman, & Bowman, 2014).…”

Examining the Association between Item Specific Treatment Burden and Adherence in People Living with HIV

For the 1.1 million people with HIV (PWH) in the United States, adherence to a HIV anti-retroviral medication regimen, engagement in regular physical activity, and eating a healthy diet are essential for maintaining optimal health. However, treatment burden can increase the risk for self-management non-adherence. We analyzed data of 103 men and women diagnosed with HIV to examine the relationship between medication, physical activity, and diet-related treatment burden to corresponding measures of self-management adherence. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that one medication treatment burden item explained 11% (p=.01) of self-reported 30-day HIV anti-retroviral medication adherence; physical activity treatment burden, along with physical functioning, explained 25% (p<.001) of physical activity, measured by daily average steps; and diet-specific treatment burden was non-significant in maintaining a healthy diet, measured by a total Healthy Eating Index-2010 score. Findings demonstrate that specific treatment burden items can predict specific self-management outcome behavior in PWH.
