Distinct Effects of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors on Soluble Biomarkers in Blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid of People With HIV.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Persistent inflammation affects people with HIV (PWH) despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). Selective serotonin and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs, SNRIs), HMG-CoA reductase-inhibitors (statins), and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) have immunomodulant properties. We evaluated the potential impact of these drugs on inflammation and neurodegeneration in PWH.

Methods

Cross-sectional single-center (United States) analysis in 184 PWH on ART with plasma HIV RNA < 200 copies/mL. All participants had 10 biomarkers measured in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). To reduce dimensionality, hierarchical clustering and principal components (PCs) analysis were employed. The analyses were adjusted for duration of the drugs and clinical cond
