• An estimated 50% of PLWH in the US are
50 years of age and older
• Between 2010 and 2014, the proportion of
living HIV cases aged 50 and older in San
Francisco increased from 44% to 58%
Risk of age-related comorbidities
rises with older age in PLWH
Hasse et al. CID 2011
Outline
• What is the epidemiology of stroke in HIV infection?
• What are proposed mechanisms underlying elevated
stroke risk in people living with HIV (PLWH)?
• How do age and sex impact stroke risk in PLWH?
• Is HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment a vascular
disorder?

Effect of ART on cerebral
endothelial function• 75 PLWH in Beijing (mean age,
41 yr; median time since diagnosis, 5 yr)
• 100% on ART and virally suppressed
• Majority of participants on 3TC + TDF or AZT + EFZ, NVP or LPV/r
• Measured cerebral vasoreactivity, marker of cerebrovascular endothelial function associated with large artery & small vessel disease, using transcranial Doppler breath-holding challenge
Baseline Hypercapnia Hypocapnia

• Of 137 cases, 25% with mild cerebral SVD and 47% with moderate-severe SVD
• In multivariable analysis, PI-based regimen associated with significantly higher likelihood of mild (OR 2.7) and moderate (OR 2.4) SVD
• SVD at autopsy was associated with an antemortem diagnosis of cognitive impairment

Role of inflammation in cardiovascular risk in HIV
• Inflammation and immune activation associated with subclinical cardiovascular disease in HIV
• Even in treated, virally suppressed PLWH, aortic and carotid arterial inflammation is greater compared with matched controls and correlates with greater inflammation (IL6, CRP) and monocyte activation (sCD163)

Higher monocyte activation in women with HIV
• HIV+ women have elevated immune activation compared with uninfected women
and HIV+ men, independent of viral load, particularly with increasing age
• Elevated immune activation correlates with greater burden of non-calcified
coronary plaque in HIV+ women compared to uninfected controls and HIV+ men

Is HIV-associated cognitive impairment a
vascular phenomenon?
Vascular risk and cognitive impairment in PLWH
• In Hawaii Aging with HIV cohort (n=~200), diabetes
increased adjusted odds of HIV-associated dementia
5.73-fold and increasing insulin resistance was associated
with worse cognitive performance, even in individuals
without diabetes (Valcour JAIDS 2005, Valcour JAIDS 2006)
• In neurology substudy of SMART (n=292, median CD4
538), pre-existing cardiovascular disease was associated
with 6.2-fold higher adjusted odds of cognitive impairment(Wright Neurology 2010)
Vascular risk may play greater role than HIV infection
• Cross-sectional study of effect of cardiovascular risk on cognition in 428 HIV+ (mean CD4 536), 207 HIV- men from MACS
• Carotid intima-media thickness or coronary artery calcium associated with worse psychomotor speed or memory but HIV status was not
Becker et al. Neurology 2009
White matter
hyperintensities
• Radiological marker
of cerebral small
vessel ischemic
disease, along with
lacunar strokes and
cerebral microbleeds
• Associated with
increased risk of
stroke and cognitive
impairment
White matter injury greater in PLWH over 60
Valcour et al. ISNV 2013, under review
Greater burden of white matter injury
associated with worse executive function
Valcour et al. ISNV 2013, under review
• 103 HIV-infected men on cART, 70 uninfected individuals; median age 54
• HIV status and older age associated with WMH burden
• Associated between HIV and poorer cognitive function attenuated by addition of WMH to model
Su et al. AIDS 2016
HIV modifies effect of age on microstructural
white matter injury
Seider et al. J Neurovirol 2015
Summary and discussion
• Risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke is elevated in PLWH
• Traditional vascular risk factors only partially mediate the elevated stroke risk in PLWH
• Specific antiretroviral medications may increase cerebrovascular risk through impaired cerebrovascular endothelial function
• Impact of HIV infection on stroke risk varies across the life course
• Cerebral small vessel disease plays a role in the pathophysiology of cognitive impairment in HIV infection
