Brief summary

This is a prospective cohort study designed to define the impact of HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) on young adults with perinatal HIV infection (YAPHIV) as they transition into adulthood. A group of of perinatally exposed but uninfected young adults from a similar sociodemographic background and age distribution will be enrolled for comparison.

Detailed description

AMP Up aims to define the impact of HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) on young adults with perinatal HIV infection as they transition into adulthood. A group of uninfected perinatally-exposed young adults from a similar sociodemographic background and age distribution will be enrolled for comparison. The primary objectives of this study are: * To identify infectious and non-infectious complications of HIV disease and toxicities resulting from long-term ART, including disease progression, immune dysfunction, viral resistance, end-organ disease, and mortality. * To define the impact of HIV infection and ART on the long-term clinical outcomes of young adults, including: * Metabolic abnormalities and risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including glucose and lipid metabolism, blood pressure, and body composition. * Sexually transmitted infections (Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, syphilis, human papillomavirus (HPV), genital warts and HSV) among males and females, and cervical HPV-associated pre-cancers and cancers and Mycoplasma genitalium and other vaginal microbiota among females. * Reproductive health, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes including mother-to-child transmission of HIV. * To define the impact of perinatal HIV infection, its concomitant risk factors and ART on long-term neurocognitive and behavioral health outcomes, including: * Mental health and neurocognitive functioning. * Health care behaviors, including adherence to ART, participation in health care services, and transition to adult clinical care. * Risk behaviors, including sexual behavior and substance use. * Independent living skills, and vocational and education achievement necessary for successful transition to adult functioning and quality of life.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
HIV disease progressionAnnually for 6 yearsFactors of interest for this outcome include virologic suppression, immune impairment, immune activation, changes in ART, cumulative exposure to specific ART, viral resistance, co-infections, and host genetic polymorphisms. Data will be collected through chart abstraction and laboratory assessments and central laboratory testing.
Metabolic abnormalitiesAnnually for 6 yearsFactors of interest include BMI, body composition, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, lipid levels (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides). Data will be collected by chart review, physical assessments, and laboratory evaluations.
Sexually transmitted infections (STI)Annually for 6 yearsSTI testing and chart review conducted annually.
PregnanciesAnnually for 6 yearsData collected annually through online surveys and chart abstraction.
Mental health problemsAnnually for 6 yearsAssessed at annually through the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)) and General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7)
ART adherenceAnnually for 6 yearsData collected annually through an online survey.
Prevalence of risk behaviors including risky sexual behavior and licit and illicit substance useAnnually for 6 yearsParticipants will complete an annual online survey.
Transition to adult functioningEvery 3 years for 6 yearsEvery year participants will complete an online survey to collect data on educational attainment, employment, independent living and quality of life.
Hearing dysfunctionEvery 3 years for 6 yearsAssessed through the NIH Toolbox and a questionnaire to be completed at Entry, Year 3 and Year 6 visits.
Language developmentOnce, at the Entry or Year 3 visitThe Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (CELF) IV assessment will be completed at the Entry or Year 3 visit.
End-organ diseaseAnnually for 6 yearsFactors of interest for this outcome include virologic suppression, immune impairment, immune activation, changes in ART, cumulative exposure to specific ART, viral resistance, co-infections, and host genetic polymorphisms. Data will be collected through chart abstraction and laboratory assessments.
MortalityAnnually for 6 yearsFactors of interest for this outcome include virologic suppression, immune impairment, immune activation, changes in ART, cumulative exposure to specific ART, viral resistance, co-infections, and host genetic polymorphisms. Data will be collected through chart abstraction and laboratory assessments.
Risk factors for cardiovascular diseaseAnnually for 6 yearsFactors of interest include BMI, body composition, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, lipid levels (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides) and cumulative cardiometabolic risk. Data will be collected by chart review, physical assessments, and laboratory evaluations.
Cervical HPV-associated pre-cancers and cancers (among female participants)Annually for 6 yearsData collected through annual chart review.
