We conducted a retrospective analysis of 38 children and youth with human immunodeficiency virus (aged 0–19 years) in the United States and report an increased rate of change of BMI-for-age z score after initiating integrase strand transfer inhibitors (+0.19 z score units/year [95% confidence interval, .01–.37]; P = .036) for a median follow-up of 527.5 days.

Abstract Integrase inhibitors (INSTIs) are recommended by expert panels as initial therapy for people with HIV. Because there can be disparities in prescribing and uptake of novel and/or recommended therapies, this analysis assessed potential INSTI prescribing disparities using a combined data set from the Johns Hopkins HIV Clinical Cohort and the DC Cohort. We performed multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with ever being prescribed an INSTI. Disparities were noted, including clinic location, age, and being transgender. Identifying disparities may allow clinicians to focus their attention on these individuals and ensure that therapy decisions are grounded in valid clinical reasons.
