Background: HIV-infection is associated to several age-related comorbidities, such as a premature decline of serum testosterone (T). There is evidence about the relationship between health status, represented by frailty and comorbidities, and serum T levels in general population, while only one previous retrospective study investigated it in HIV-infected men.Aim: To investigate the association between frailty and gonadal status by assessing serum total T...

Gonadal Function in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-Infected Men: comparison between Isotopic Dilution-Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS) and Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (CI)

De Vincentis Sara , Decaroli Maria Chiara , Fanelli Flaminia , Mezzullo Marco , Diazzi Chiara , Morini Fabio , Bertani Davide , Santi Daniele , Baraldi Enrica , Tagliavini Simonetta , Roli Laura , Trenti Tommaso , Pagotto Uberto , Guaraldi Giovanni , Rochira Vincenzo

Background: HIV-infection is associated to premature decline of serum T. However, prevalence and biochemical characterization of hypogonadism in HIV-infected men are still to be well defined.Aim: To evaluate the gonadal status in HIV-infected men by assessing circulating total T (TT) with either ID-LC-MS/MS or CI.Methods: Prospective, cross-sectional, observational study on HIV-infected men with ongoing Highly Active Antiretroviral...

Testosterone (T) is poorly related to sexual desire and Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in Young/Middle Aged Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-Infected Men

De Vincentis Sara , Chiara Decaroli Maria , Diazzi Chiara , Morini Fabio , Bertani Davide , Fanelli Flaminia , Mezzullo Marco , Santi Daniele , Tartaro Giulia , Baraldi Enrica , Tagliavini Simonetta , Pagotto Uberto , Guaraldi Giovanni , Rochira Vincenzo

Background: ED is highly prevalent in HIV-infected men. T leads sexual behavior in men, but preliminary data suggests that ED is poorly related to serum T in HIV--infected men.Aim: To explore the relationship between sexual function and gonadal function in young/middle-aged HIV-infected men.Methodology: Prospective, cross-sectional, observational study on HIV-infected men (age <50 years). Serum TT was assessed by the gold stand...
