Effect of Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor–Based Antiretroviral Therapy on Dysglycemia and Insulin Sensitivity in South African HIV-Infected Patients

Abstract: The prevalence of dysglycemia in ART-naive and ART patients was similar. Peripheral fat wasting was more common in dysglycemic patients on ART. The association of efavirenz with dysglycemia is important because first-line ART regimens in the developing world include nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and increasingly, efavirenz is selected because of its perceived lower toxicity than nevirapine.

“…IR in HIV patients has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular risk and mortality, and particularly with the development of DM, several folds higher in case of IR (5,6,7). This high prevalence in a younger population has been attributed to the presence of additional risk factors, such as HIV itself, vitamin D deficiency, coinfection with hepatitis C virus (HCV), and particularly as a possible adverse effect of different antiretroviral drugs (4,10,11,12,13). This fact is particularly important as the HIV therapeutic arsenal continues to change with the development of newer drug classes and agents within existing drug classes, and therefore, the use of drugs with a lower causal role could change the prevalence and consequences of this complication.…”
