People with HIV (PWH) are living longer directly related to highly effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, concurrent with improved longevity is the growing prevalence of metabolic comorbidities that drive morbidity and mortality among PWH. There is an increasing repertoire of treatment options for metabolic disorders. Thus, it is important for clinicians to understand the drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between ART and treatments for metabolic disorders. This review will discuss DDIs between contemporary ART and agents used to treat metabolic syndromes (diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity and hypertension). Literature review of published and unpublished data from manuscripts, conference proceedings, regulatory submissions, and drug prescribing information were conducted from the following sources: PubMed, Google, and Google Scholar through January 2024. People with HIV have a high prevalence of metabolic disorders. Most significant DDIs between ART and treatments for metabolic disorders are unidirectional with ART as perpetrators, rather than victims, such that careful selection of ART with low DDI propensity can address the concern. However, there are data gaps with DDI data for long-acting ART as well as newer oral injectable medications for diabetes and weight loss. Nanotechnology-based drug delivery platforms hold promise to address some problematic DDIs.
