Problématique: Comme dans plusieurs pays du Sud, le suivi virologique des patients sous traitement antirétroviral (TARV) en Guinée est timide voire inexistant dans certaines localités. Le but de cette étude était d’évaluer la faisabilité technique et logistique de l’utilisation des DBS dans les tests de charge virale (CV) et de génotypage.Méthode: De septembre à octobre 2010, les DBS ont été préparés à partir de prélèvements sanguins de patients adultes sous TARV. Le délai d’envoi des échantillons au laboratoire de référence était de 30 jours maximum après le prélèvement et se faisait à température ambiante. La CV a été quantifiée et les échantillons de patients en échec virologique (CV ≥ 3 log10 copies/mL) ont été génotypés selon le protocole de l’ANRS. L’algorithme de Stanford version 6.0.8 a été utilisé pour l’analyse et l’interprétation des mutations de résistance.Résultats: Parmi les 136 patients inclus, 129 et 7 étaient respectivement sous première et deuxième ligne de traitement avec une médiane de suivi de 35 mois [IQR: 6-108]. L’échec virologique a été noté chez 33 patients. Parmi eux, 84.8% (n = 28/33) ont bénéficié d’ungénotypage. Le taux de résistance global était de 14% (n = 19/136). Le CRF02_AG était le sous type viral le plus prévalent (82%; n = 23).Conclusion: En plus de montrer la faisabilité technique et logistique des tests de CV et de génotypage à partir des DBS, ces résultats montrent l’intérêt de leurs utilisations dans le suivi virologique des patients sous TARV. Cette étude a permis également de documenter l’échec virologique, la résistance aux ARV et la diversité génétique du VIH-1 en Guinée.Mots clés: VIH-1, Résistance aux ARV, DBS (Dried Blood Spots), Guinée Conakry, Génotypage,Charge Virale. Quantification of Viral load and resistance tests of HIV-1 to ARVs from dried blood spotssamples in Guinean patients undergoing antiretroviral treatment.Problem: As in several countries of the South, the virological monitoring of patients undergoing antiretroviral treatment (ARVT) in Guinea is low or non-existent in some locations. The aim ofthis study was to assess the technical and logistical feasibility of the use of (dried blood spots) DBSs in viral load (VL) and genotyping tests.Method: From September 2010 to October 2010, DBS were prepared from blood samples of adult patients under ARVT. The samples had to be sent to the reference laboratory within 30 days after the sample had been done at ambient temperature. The VL was quantified and the samples of patients with virological failure (CV ≥ 3 log10 copies/mL) were genotyped according to the ANRS protocol. The Stanford algorithm, version 6.0.8, was used to analyse and interpret the resistance mutations.Results: Amongst the 136 included patients, 129 and 7 were under first and second line treatment respectively, and monitored for an average of 35 months [IQR: 6-108]. Virological failure was noticed among 33 patients. Among them, 84.8% (n = 28/33) benefited from genotyping. The global resistance rate was 14% (n = 19/136). CRF02_AG was the most prevalent viral subtype (82%; n = 23).Conclusion: In addition to demonstrating the technical and logistic feasibility of VL and genotyping tests from DBSs, these results show the relevance of their use in the virological monitoring of patients under ARVT. Also, this study made it possible to provide informationon virological failure, ARV resistance and the HIV-1 genetic diversity in Guinea.

ABSTRACTPlasma HIV viral load testing is the preferred means of monitoring antiretroviral treatment response. Dried blood spots (DBSs) hold considerable logistical advantages over EDTA samples, but they more frequently misclassify virological failure and have higher limits of detection (LoD). Plasma separation cards (PSCs) may overcome these limitations. Health workers collected EDTA whole blood by venipuncture and 140 μl of finger-prick blood by capillary tube from 53 HIV-infected adults. Capillary blood was immediately transferred to PSCs. Additionally, 432 EDTA samples from HIV-infected adults were spotted onto PSCs and analyzed together with the finger-prick samples. Specificity and sensitivity of PSC with paired EDTA-PSC samples tested on a cobas 6800/8800 system with the cobas HIV-1 test (cobas HIV) was determined. LoD (3rd HIV-1 WHO International Standard) and stability at a range of temperatures and storage durations was determined using cobas HIV and cobas AmpliPrep/cobas TaqMan HIV-1 test v2.0 (CAP/CTM). Of 132 specimens with quantitative values for paired EDTA-PSC samples, the mean log10difference between samples was 0.05 copies/ml (95% confidence interval [CI], −0.01 to 0.11). The LoD for cobas HIV was 790.2 copies/ml and for CAP/CTM was 737.9 copies/ml. At 1,000 copies/ml, PSC sensitivity was 97.0% (128/132) and specificity was 97.2% (343/353). Results correlated well with those from EDTA samples (DemingR2= 0.90). PSC results were unaffected by temperature and storage conditions. PSC samples correlate well with plasma viral load and have adequate sensitivity and specificity. The improved performance may be as a result of a reduction in contribution from cell-associated viral nucleic acids. The card provides an alternative sample collection technology to DBSs.
