Background
While use of some older antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) is associated with chronic liver enzyme elevation (cLEE), the impact of newer ARVs remains unknown.

Methods
People with HIV enrolled in the RESPOND cohort who started an ARV after January 1, 2012 were included (baseline). The primary outcome was first cLEE individuals were censored at first of cLEE, last visit, death, or December 31, 2021. Incidence rates (IRs; events/1000 person-years) were calculated for each ARV overall and by ARV exposure (6–12 months, 1–2 years, and 2+ years). Poisson regression was used to estimate the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of cLEE and its association with individual ARVs and ARV class.

Results
Of 17 106 individuals included contributing 87 924 person-years of follow-up, 1932 (11.3%) experienced cLEE (incidence rate [IR], 22.0; 95% CI, 21.0–23.0). There was no evidence of a cumulative ARV effect on cLEE incidence, (6–12 months: IR, 45.8; 95% CI, 41.4–50.19; 1–2 years: IR, 34.3; 95% CI, 31.5–37.4; and 2+ years: IR, 18.5; 95% CI, 17.4–19.7). Any use (vs no prior use) of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) as a class and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) was independently associated with an increased IRR of cLEE, and any use of darunavir (DRV) was associated with a decreased risk of cLEE.

Conclusions
cLEE is common and more frequent during the first year after initiating new ARVs. With a >5-year median follow-up, we found no short-term liver safety concerns with the use of INSTIs. Use of NNRTIs and TDF was associated with an increased cLEE risk, while DRV was associated with lower risk.

Funding Information:
Previous observational data from the D:A:D and Swiss HIV Cohort Studies have also shown an association between TDF and elevated ALT levels in those with and without viral hepatitis coinfection [, ], consistent with our findings. We found a trend for slightly reduced risk of cLEE with TAF, although this did not reach statistical significance. This is supported by data from the Swiss HIV Cohort Study and the Canadian Hepatitis B Network showing that among those with elevated ALT, switching from TDF to TAF significantly reduces ALT elevations [, ]. It is worth noting that in RESPOND there is likely confounding by indication with TAF utilization given that it has a more favorable safety profile compared with TDF.
