Background: The widespread use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has raised concerns about the emergence of HIV transmitted drug resistance (TDR). Acute HIV infection (AHI) was the most appropriate time to detect the spread of TDR. In this meta-analysis, our purpose was to evaluate the level of TDR in ART-naive patients with primary HIV infection (PHI)/AHI/early HIV infection (EHI) and to describe the critical drug-resistant mutations.Methods: We systematically searched the literature between January 1, 2008, and April 30, 2021, in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. To evaluate the overall prevalence of TDR, we extracted raw data and analyzed prevalence estimates using Stata SE.Results: The data of this meta-analysis come from 12 observational studies, covering 3,558 ART-naive individuals with PHI, AHI, or EHI. The overall prevalence of HIV-TDR is 9.3% (95% CI: 6.8%–11.8%, I2 = 81.1%, in 11 studies). The prevalence of resistance by drug class is the highest for the nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) at 5.7% (95% CI: 2.9%–8.5%, I2 = 96.6%, in 11 studies), followed by nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) at 3.4% (95% CI: 1.8%–5.0%, I2 = 86.3%, in 10 studies) and protease inhibitors (PIs) at 3.3% (95% CI: 2.7%–3.9%, I2 = 15.6%, in 10 studies). The prevalence of TDR to integrase inhibitors (INIs) is 0.3% (95% CI: 0.1%–0.7%, I2 = 95.9%, in three studies), which is the lowest among all antiretroviral drugs.Conclusion: The overall prevalence of TDR is at a moderate level among AHI patients who have never received ART. This emphasizes the importance of baseline drug resistance testing for public health surveillance and guiding the choice of ART. In addition, the prevalence of TDR to NNRTIs is the highest, while the TDR to INIs is the lowest. This may guide the selection of clinical antiretroviral drugs.

Abstract Background Transmitted drug resistance (TDR) that affects the effectiveness of the first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen is becoming prevalent worldwide. However, its prevalence and transmission among HIV-1 treatment-naïve patients in Guangdong, China are rarely reported. We aimed to comprehensively analyze the prevalence of TDR and the transmission clusters of HIV-1 infected persons before ART in Guangdong. Methods The HIV-1 treatment-naïve patients were recruited between January 2018 and December 2018. The HIV-1 pol region was amplified by reverse transcriptional PCR and sequenced by sanger sequencing. Genotypes, surveillance drug resistance mutations (SDRMs) and TDR were analyzed. Genetic transmission clusters among patients were identified by pairwise Tamura-Nei 93 genetic distance, with a threshold of 0.015. Results A total of 2368 (97.17%) HIV-1 pol sequences were successfully amplified and sequenced from the enrolled 2437 patients. CRF07_BC (35.90%, 850/2368), CRF01_AE (35.56%, 842/2368) and CRF55_01B (10.30%, 244/2368) were the main HIV-1 genotypes circulating in Guangdong. Twenty-one SDRMs were identified among fifty-two drug-resistant sequences. The overall prevalence of TDR was 2.20% (52/2368). Among the 2368 patients who underwent sequencing, 8 (0.34%) had TDR to protease inhibitors (PIs), 22 (0.93%) to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), and 23 (0.97%) to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Two (0.08%) sequences showed dual-class resistance to both NRTIs and NNRTIs, and no sequences showed triple-class resistance. A total of 1066 (45.02%) sequences were segregated into 194 clusters, ranging from 2 to 414 sequences. In total, 15 (28.85%) of patients with TDR were included in 9 clusters; one cluster contained two TDR sequences with the K103N mutation was observed. Conclusions There is high HIV-1 genetic heterogeneity among patients in Guangdong. Although the overall prevalence of TDR is low, it is still necessary to remain vigilant regarding some important SDRMs.

AbstractTo optimise patients’ outcomes and gain insight into transmitted drug resistance (TDR) among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 treatment-naive patients in Beijing, the prevalence of TDR was assessed. Demographic and clinical data of 1241 treatment-naive patients diagnosed between April 2014 and February 2015 were collected. TDR was defined using the Stanford University HIV drug resistance mutations database. The risk factors were evaluated by multi-logistic regression analysis. Among 932 successfully amplified cases, most were male (96.78%) and infected through men having sex with men (91.74%). Genotype were CRF01_AE (56.44%), B (20.60%), CRF07_BC (19.96%), C (1.61%) and other genotypes (1.39%). The overall prevalence of TDR was 6.12%. Most frequent mutations occurred in non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) (3.11%), followed by protease inhibitors (PIs) (2.25%) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) (1.32%). Furthermore, HIV-1 genotype was associated with high risk of resistance, in which genotype C and other genotype may have higher risk for resistance. The prevalence among treatment-naive patients in Beijing was low. Resistance to NNRTIs was higher than with PIs or NRTIs. Continuous monitoring of regional levels of HIV-1 TDRs would contribute to improve treatment outcomes and prevent failures.

Abstract Background Transmitted drug resistance (TDR) compromises clinical management and outcomes. Transmitted drug resistance surveillance and identification of growing transmission clusters are needed in the Southeast, the epicenter of the US HIV epidemic. Our study investigated prevalence and transmission dynamics in North Carolina. Methods We analyzed surveillance drug resistance mutations (SDRMs) using partial pol sequences from patients presenting to 2 large HIV outpatient clinics from 1997 to 2014. Transmitted drug resistance prevalence was defined as ≥1 SDRMs among antiretroviral therapy (ART)–naïve patients. Binomial regression was used to characterize prevalence by calendar year, drug class, and demographic and clinical factors. We assessed the transmission networks of patients with TDR with maximum likelihood trees and Bayesian methods including background pol sequences (n = 15 246). Results Among 1658 patients with pretherapy resistance testing, ≥1 SDRMs was identified in 199 patients, with an aggregate TDR prevalence of 12% (95% confidence interval, 10% to 14%) increasing over time (P = .02). Resistance to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs; 8%) was common, followed by nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (4%) and protease inhibitors (2%). Factors associated with TDR were being a man reporting sex with men, white race, young age, higher CD4 cell count, and being a member of a transmission cluster. Transmitted drug resistance was identified in 106 clusters ranging from 2 to 26 members. Cluster resistance was primarily NNRTI and dominated by ART-naïve patients or those with unknown ART initiation. Conclusions Moderate TDR prevalence persists in North Carolina, predominantly driven by NNRTI resistance. Most TDR cases were identified in transmission clusters, signifying multiple local transmission networks and TDR circulation among ART-naïve persons. Transmitted drug resistance surveillance can detect transmission networks and identify patients for enhanced services to promote early treatment.

Abstract HIV with transmitted drug-resistance (TDR) limits the therapeutic options available for treatment-naive HIV patients. This study aimed to further our understanding of the prevalence and transmission characteristics of HIV with TDR for the application of first-line antiretroviral regimens. A total of 6578 HIV-1 protease/reverse-transcriptase sequences from treatment-naive individuals in China between 2000 and 2016, were obtained from the Los Alamos HIV Sequence Database and were analyzed for TDR. Transmission networks were constructed to determine genetic relationships. The spreading routes of large TDR clusters were identified using a Bayesian phylogeographic framework. TDR mutations were detected in 274 (4.51%) individuals, with 1.40% harboring TDR to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, 1.52% to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and 1.87% to protease inhibitors. The most frequent mutation was M46L (58, 0.89%), followed by K103N (36, 0.55%), M46I (36, 0.55%), and M184V (26, 0.40%). The prevalence of total TDR initially decreased between 2000 and 2010 (OR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.73–0.95), and then increased thereafter (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.13–1.97). The proportion of sequences in a cluster (clustering rate) among HIV with TDR sequences was lower than that of sequences without TDR (40.5% vs. 48.8%, P = 0.023) and increased from 27.3% in 2005–2006 to 63.6% in 2015–2016 (P < 0.001). While most TDR mutations were associated with reduced relative transmission fitness, mutation M46I was associated with higher relative transmission fitness than the wild-type strain. This study identified a low-level prevalence of TDR HIV in China during the last two decades. However, the increasing TDR HIV rate sicn 2010, the persistent circulation of drug resistance mutations, and the expansion of self-sustaining drug resistance reservoirs may compromise the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy programs.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of nelfinavir mesylate (NFV) in combination with delavirdine mesylate(DLV) or efavirenz (EFV) and other antiretroviral agents following virological failure on other protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimens.DESIGN: Multicentre, retrospective chart review.METHODS: One hundred-one patients who were naive to both NFV and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and who initiated NFV plus DLV or EFV-based salvage regimens were reviewed. Response to treatmentwas defined as a reduction in HIV ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels to unquantifiable levels (less than 50 copies/mL, less than 400 copies/mL, less than 500 copies/mL) on at least one occasion after the initiation of salvage therapy. Baseline correlates of response, including prior duration of HIV infection, prior number of regimens, viral load and CD4 cell counts were also evaluated.RESULTS: Patients had a mean duration of HIV infection of 10 years, a mean duration of prior therapy of four years, a median of four prior nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and a median of two prior PIs. At the time of review the mean duration of salvage therapy was 63.4 weeks. Virological suppression was achieved in 59 (58.4%) patients within a mean of eight weeks and maintained for a mean of 44.9 weeks (themean follow-up was78 weeks). Of the non-responders, 16 (38%) achieved a less than 1 log10decrease in HIV RNA levels. Although there was no association between baseline correlates, response rate (75.7%) was significantly higher in patients with HIV RNA levels of 50,000 copies/mL or lower and CD4 counts greater than 200 cells/mm3.CONCLUSION: NFV/NNRTI-based highly active antiretroviral therapy regimens are an effective therapy in many patients who have experienced virological breakthroughs on at least one prior PI-based regimen.
