CROI 2022: tuberculosis and infectious complications in persons With HIV.

Early treatment of anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions compared with active monitoring reduced the risk of anal cancer by 57% in persons with HIV in a landmark randomized trial of 4446 participants. In a multi- country randomized trial, an entirely oral combination regimen consisting of bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid, and moxifloxacin for 24 weeks outperformed the World Health Organization-recommended 36- to 96-week standard of care regimen for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), ushering in a new era of shorter multidrug-resistant TB treatment. These and other studies of TB and coinfections in persons with HIV presented at the 2022 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections pro vided new insights and are summarized herein.
