Popis: We report a case of substantial weight gain in a virologically suppressed patient with HIV after changing his antiretroviral therapy from efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir DF to elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide with subsequent rapid weight loss upon switching back. The role of antiretrovirals in weight gain and loss and patient- and HIV-specific factors are discussed.
Antiretroviral therapy may be associated with weight gain, sometimes substantial. We report a case of reversal of substantial weight gain associated with INSTI/TAF use upon switching back to EFV/FTC/TDF and discuss weight effects of antiretroviral therapy.
