  • European AIDS Clinical Society guideline screening recommendations for kidney disease in people with HIV
  • Antiretroviral dose adjustment recommendations based on estimated glomerular filtration rate
  • Data on the use of full-dose lamivudine with renal impairment
  • Data on the use of 2-drug nucleos(t)ide reverse-transcriptase inhibitor–sparing ART regimens, including GEMINI-1 and -2, TANGO, and SALSA for dolutegravir/lamivudine; SWORD-1 and -2 for dolutegravir/lamivudine; and ATLAS and FLAIR for long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine
  • US Department of Health and Human Services recommendations on the use of ART agents with hepatic impairment
  • Recommendations from the American Gastroenterological Association on screening and diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
  • Prevalence of NAFLD, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and liver fibrosis in people with HIV
