33 Non-AIDS Related Comorbidities In People Living With HIV in West Africa

Abstract

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This study utilizes the IeDEA W. Africa cohort to evaluate the prevalence and burden of hypertension and diabetes type II among people living with HIV (PLWH) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and to assess how sex and aging impact the development of these NACM. The cohort is a large, international collaboration across eight countries and 19 treatment centers. Established by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 2006, the W. Africa cohort is now in its fourth renewal (2021-2026). Participating countries include Senegal, Mali, Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria. Data are collected from affiliated cohorts in the regional data center every 24 months. The cohort currently includes >65,000 adult PLWH on anti-retroviral therapy. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The prevalence of several NACM, such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease, have significantly increased among PWH over time, surpassing prevalence observed in the general population. We therefore expect similar patterns in the W. Africa IeDEA cohort and a high prevalence and burden of both hypertension and diabetes type II in this sample. Additionally, evidence suggests that increasing age and female sex serve as independent risk factors for the development of NACM in PLWH. We anticipate that both increased age and female sex, separately and synergistically, are associated with increased prevalence and burden of hypertension and diabetes type II in this cohort. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: With more than 37 million people currently living with HIV, the HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to pose a serious threat to global public health. SSA bears a disproportionate burden of the epidemic with greater than two-thirds of global cases. NACM are now driving morbidity and mortality among PLWH, and increased age and female sex may modify this effect.
