Abstract Background To assess transmitted drug resistance (TDR) to tenofovir (TDF)/emtricitabine (FTC), using as pre-exposure prophylaxis, among newly diagnosed human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1)-infected residents in Shenyang city, northeast China. Methods Demographic and epidemiological information of all newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected residents in Shenyang city from 2016 to 2018 were anonymously collected from the local HIV epidemic database. HIV-1 pol sequences were amplified from RNA in cryopreserved plasma samples and sequenced directly. Viral subtypes were inferred with phylogenetic analysis and drug resistance mutations (DRMs) were determined according to the Stanford HIVdb algorithm. Recent HIV infection was determined with HIV Limiting Antigen avidity electro immunoassay. Results A total of 2176 sequences (92.4%, 2176/2354) were obtained; 70.9% (1536/2167) were CRF01_AE, followed by CRF07_BC (18.0%, 391/2167), subtype B (4.7%, 102/2167), other subtypes (2.6%, 56/2167), and unique recombinant forms (3.8%, 82/2167). The prevalence of TDR was 4.9% (107/2167), among which, only 0.6% (13/2167) was resistance to TDF/FTC. Most of these subjects had CRF01_AE strains (76.9%, 10/13), were unmarried (76.9%, 10/13), infected through homosexual contact (92.3%, 12/13), and over 30 years old (median age: 33). The TDF/FTC DRMs included K65R (8/13), M184I/V (5/13), and Y115F (2/13). Recent HIV infection accounted for only 23.1% (3/13). Most cases were sporadic in the phylogenetic tree, except two CRF01_AE sequences with K65R (Bootstrap value: 99%). Conclusions The prevalence of TDR to TDF/FTC is low among newly diagnosed HIV-infected cases in Shenyang, suggesting that TDR may have little impact on the protective effect of the ongoing CROPrEP project in Shenyang city.

Introduction: Transmitted drug resistance (TDR) can compromise antiretroviral therapy (ART) efficacy. We aimed to understand the molecular epidemiology of TDR and its genetic transmission networks among newly diagnosed people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH).Methods: A total of 1,318 newly diagnosed PLWH, identified in all population-based HIV screening in an HIV-affected county of a minority area of China (i.e., Butuo county), were enrolled between January 1, 2018, and November 31, 2018. HIV-1 pol gene sequences were used for phylogenetic and genotypic drug resistance analyses. The genetic transmission networks were identified.Results: The prevalence of TDR among newly diagnosed PLWH was 8.12% (107/1,318). Patients in the stage of AIDS (adjusted odds ratio, OR: 2.32) and who had a history of sharing a needle ≥5 times (adjusted OR: 3.89) were more likely to have an increased risk of TDR. The prevalence of TDR for non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) is higher than that of other inhibitors, with a relatively high prevalence of three mutations [V179D/E/DE (4.93%), K103N/KN (3.11%), and E138A/G (1.52%)]. A total of 577 (43.78%) pol sequences were involved in the genetic transmission network, with 171 clusters ranging in size from 2 to 91 pol sequences; 37.38% (40/107) of individuals carrying TDR were involved in the network, and individuals with the same TDR-associated mutations were usually cross-linked.Conclusions: Our data suggest a relatively high level of TDR and many transmission clusters among the newly diagnosed PLWH. Targeted intervention, early identification, and monitoring of resistance are warranted to reduce the TDR and prevent HIV-1 transmission in areas with a high rate of HIV-1.

Abstract Background The widespread use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in the development of transmitted drug resistance (TDR), which reduces ART efficacy. We explored TDR prevalence and its associated risk factors in newly diagnosed individuals in Guangxi. Methods We enrolled 1324 participants who were newly diagnosed with HIV-1 and had not received ART at voluntary counselling and testing centres (VCT) in Guangxi, China, who had not received ART. Phylogenetic relationship, transmission cluster, and genotypic drug resistance analyses were performed using HIV-1 pol sequences. We analysed the association of demographic and virological factors with TDR. Results In total, 1151 sequences were sequenced successfully, of which 83 (7.21%) showed evidence of TDR. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that there was significant difference between the prevalence of TDR and unmarried status (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.41, 95% CI: 1.23–4.71), and CRF08_BC subtype (aOR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.13–3.64). Most cases of TDR were related to resistance to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (4.87%) and V179E was the most common mutation detected. We identified a total of 119 HIV transmission clusters (n = 585, 50.8%), of which 18 (15.1%) clusters showed evidence of TDR (36, 41.86%). Three clusters were identified that included drug-resistant individuals having a transmission relationship with each other. The following parameters were associated with TDR transmission risk: Unmarried status, educational level of junior high school or below, and CRF08_BC subtype may be a risk of the transmission of TDR. Conclusions Our findings indicated that moderate TDR prevalence and highlighted the importance of continuous TDR monitoring and designing of strategies for TDR mitigation.

Abstract Background Sichuan Province is one of the highest AIDS epidemic provinces in China, with a large number of floating population. The annual number of cases of HIV/AIDS reported in Sichuan has been the highest province in China for several successive years. There is a lack of widespread and representative data on the distribution of HIV subtypes in Sichuan. We aim to investigate the characteristics of HIV-1 molecular epidemiology and transmitted drug-resistance in newly diagnosed HIV-infected patients in Sichuan, China. Method Archived plasma samples (n = 1524) from HIV-1 newly-diagnosed individuals in April 2019 were selected by cross-sectional investigation from all 21 cities in Sichuan Province. Phylogenetic relationship, transmission cluster, and genotypic drug resistance analyses were performed using HIV-1 polymerase (pol) gene sequences. We also analysed the association of demographic and virological factors with transmitted drug-resistance (TDR). Results Partial pol gene sequences were obtained from 1297 cases. HIV-1 epidemic strains in Sichuan province: the majority of subtypes were circulating recombinant form (CRF) 07_BC (675, 52.04%), CRF01_AE (343, 26.45%), CRF08_BC (115, 8.87%), CRF85_BC (67, 5.17%), subtype B (33, 2.54%), the other subtypes only accounted for 4.93%, and circulating recombinant forms (URFs) (23, 1.77%) were observed in the study, and the difference of age, ethnicity, education, occupation, region and transmission pathway of different subtypes were statistically significant, CRF08_BC was significantly drug-resistant. A total of 205 (43.78%) pol sequences were involved in the genetic transmission network, with 76 clusters ranging in size from 2 to 24 pol sequences. In addition, the level of TDR has reached a medium level, with 72 of 1297 (5.55%) cases carrying drug-resistance mutation sites, TDR mutation frequency to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs, 3.85%) was much higher than nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs, 0.31%) and protease inhibitors (PIs, 1.70%). The most common HIV-1 mutation pattern for NNRTI was V106 (1.31%, 17/1297) and E138 (1.16%, 15/1297), and for PI was M46 (0.69%, 9/1297). Conclusion The distribution of HIV-1 genotypes in Sichuan is more diverse and complex, and the Men who have sex with men (MSM) is underrated, arguing for behavior scaling up intervention in this specific population besides the elderly people with heterosexual transmission risk groups. The risk of TDR mutation frequency increased in newly diagnosed patients highlights the significance of genotypic drug resistance monitoring and molecular surveillance of pretreatment HIV-1 drug resistance. The regimen composed of TDF, 3TC and EFV was still currently the preferred solution used free first-line therapy.

Abstract Transmission of HIV-1 resistance mutations among therapy-naïve patients impairs the efficiency of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Therefore, genotypic resistance testing of patients is recommended at baseline, as this both allows for the selection of the correct ART regimen and for surveillance of transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRM) among therapy naive HIV-1 patients. In Denmark, the occurrence of TDRM in newly diagnosed and therapy naïve HIV-1 patients is monitored through the SERO project. Here, we investigated if the prevalence of TDRM differed between patients within and outside of phylogenetically identified transmission clusters. Samples from 1,227 newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients were sent along with epidemiological information to the Virological Surveillance and Research group at Statens Serum Institut. HIV-1 RNA extraction, RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing of the pol gene was performed using an in-house assay. The sequences were analyzed using BioNumerics v. 6.6 and manually checked for the presence of mixed mutations and analyzed for mutations using the HIVDB 8.4 algorithm implemented at the Stanford database. Sequence alignments were performed in Mafft, and phylogenetic analysis was performed using Mega 6.0 using the Maximum likelihood general time reversible model with 100 bootstrap replicates. Clusters were identified with ClusterPicker at default settings (cluster support = 90%, genetic distance 4.5%). Active clusters contained newly diagnosed patients from the 2015 to 2017 period. HIV-1 sequences from 588 patients belonged to one of 154 clusters, and sequences from 639 patients did not belong to a cluster. Patients in clusters were significantly more likely to be men who have sex with men and subtype B and significantly less likely to be late presenters (Fisher’s test P < 0.05). The TDRM prevalence was significantly higher for patients outside of clusters than within clusters, 16.6 per cent versus 12.1 per cent, respectively (Fisher’s test P < 0.05); however, no significant differences were found in the TDRM prevalence between the 75 active and 79 inactive clusters, nor between small (<3 patients) and large (≥3 patients) clusters. E138A, V179D, and K103N were the three most prevalent TDRMs for both patient groups, whereas M41L differed between them. In Denmark, the TDRM prevalence is lower within clusters than outside, indicating that TDRM cases are either imported and/or belong to yet unidentified clusters.
