Pendahuluan. Pada negara dengan keterbatasan sumber daya, pengukuran viral load (VL) sebagai prediktor efektivitas terapi antiretroviral (ARV) tidak selalu mudah untuk diakses oleh pasien HIV yang mendapat terapi ARV. Pada penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya, kepatuhan berobat (adherens) diketahui merupakan faktor penting terhadap supresi VL HIV. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor prediktor kegagalan virologis pada pasien HIV yang mendapat terapi ARV lini pertama sesuai paduan ARV terbaru dengan kepatuhan berobat yang baik di Indonesia.Metode. Studi kohort retrospektif dilakukan pada pasien HIV rawat jalan dewasa di Rumah Sakit dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM), Jakarta yang memulai terapi ARV lini pertama selama periode Januari 2011-Juni 2014. Pasien HIV dengan kepatuhan berobat baik yang mempunyai data VL 6-9 bulan setelah mulai terapi ARV dimasukkan sebagai subjek penelitian. Kegagalan virologis dinyatakan sebagai nilai VL ≥400 kopi/mL setelah minimal 6 bulan terapi ARV dengan kepatuhan berobat baik. Usia awal terapi ARV, faktor risiko penularan HIV, stadium klinis HIV menurut World Health Organization (WHO), koinfeksi HIV-TB, jumlah CD4 awal terapi, peningkatan jumlah CD4, kadar hemoglobin dan indeks massa tubuh awal terapi, perubahan berat badan selama terapi, dan basis paduan terapi ARV merupakan variabel yang diteliti pada penelitian ini.  Hasil. Terdapat 197 pasien sebagai subjek penelitian ini. Kegagalan virologis ditemukan pada 21 pasien (10,7%). Peningkatan CD4 <50 sel/mm3 setelah minimal 6 bulan terapi merupakan prediktor kegagalan virologis (p = 0,003; OR 5,802, 95% CI= 1,842-18,270). Terdapat peningkatan risiko kegagalan virologis pada pasien dengan terapi ARV berbasis NVP pada saat VL diperiksa, namun tidak bermakna secara statistik (p = 0,060; OR 2,756; 95% CI= 0,958-7,924). Simpulan. Peningkatan CD4 <50 sel/mm3 setelah minimal 6 bulan terapi dapat memprediksi kegagalan virologis pada pasien yang mendapat terapi ARV lini pertama dengan kepatuhan berobat yang baik. Kata Kunci: kegagalan virologis, terapi ARV lini pertama, viral load Predictors of Virological Failure in HIV Patients Receiving First Line Antiretroviral Therapy with Good AdherenceIntroduction. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively suppress HIV replication. Viral load (VL) measurement is better predictor than clinical or immunological criteria to evaluate success or failure of ART. However, in country with limited resources, viral load measurement is not easily accessible by HIV patients receiving ART. Therefore, it is necessary to know which factors that can predict virological failure. In previous studies, adherence was an  important factor for suppression of HIV viral load.  This study is aimed to know predictors of virological failure in HIV patients receiving recent first line ART regimen with good adherence in Indonesia. Methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted among adult HIV patients in Out-patient Clinic of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital that started ART during periode of  January 2011-June 2014. HIV patients with good adherence that had viral load data 6-9 months after initiation of ART were included in this study. Virological failure was defined as viral load ≥ 400 copies/mL after minimum of 6 months therapy with good adherence. Age at starting ART, risk factor for HIV infection, HIV clinical stage, HIV-TB co-infection, baseline CD4 value, CD4 count increase, baseline hemoglobin level and body mass index, weight changes during therapy, and ART based regimen were analyzed in this study. Results. A total of 197 patients were included in this study. Virological failure was found in 21 patients (10,7%). CD4 increase <50 cell/mm3 after minimum 6 months of ART was predictor of virological failure (p = 0,003; OR 5,802, 95%CI 1,842-18,270). Conclusion. CD4 increase <50 cell/mm3 after minimum 6 months therapy can predict virological failure in HIV patients receiving first line ART with good adherence.

Background: It is important to identify and manage determinants of virological failure among HIV infected individuals on treatment for achieving viral suppression. This study aimed to identify proportion and factors associated with virological failure among HIV infected individuals receiving first line antiretroviral therapy (ART).Methods: A total of 2670 adult HIV infected individuals attending ART centre at ICMR-National AIDS Research Institute, between January 2005 and June 2019 and having their recent viral load done after implementation of guidelines on routine viral load testing were included. Data were reviewed and analysed.Results: Of the 2670 people living with HIV (PLHIV) on first line antiretroviral therapy, 48% were male and 69% were more than 40 years of age. Mean baseline CD4 count at ART initiation was 252 cells/mm3 (SD:210, IQR 116-313) Overall, 13% (340/2670) of the participants showed virological failure. In multivariate analyses, participants with younger age and males retained significant association. Those with baseline CD4 counts of less than or equal to 500 cells/mm3 at treatment initiation (adjusted OR 1.71; 95% CI 1.08-2.70; p=0.022) and ART adherence ≤95% within last three months of recent viral load determination (adjusted OR 1.55, 95% CI of AOR 1.04-2.32; p=0.031) had higher risk for virological failure as compared to others. PLHIV with ART substitution due to various reasons were almost twice as likely to have virological failure (adjusted OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.44-2.33; p<0.001).Conclusions: It is crucial to focus on factors leading to virological failure among HIV infected individuals attending ART centre. Early linkage to treatment and ART initiation along with adherence counselling at every follow up visit play an important role in mitigating virological failure.

The objective of our study was to investigate factors associated with virological failure in 100 consecutive HIV-1 infected Vietnamese adults who initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) from June 2007 to June 2008. Data were collected from medical records, and a structured questionnaire was used in individual interviews to investigate factors associated with adherence to ART. Plasma HIV viral load was measured at the time of the interview. The median age was 35 years, 35% were women and heterosexual intercourse was the most common mode of HIV transmission (61 %). After a median of 14 months since starting ART, 23% had detectable HIV-1 viral load (≥400 copies/mL). Patients who had developed a World Health Organization (WHO) clinical stage 4 condition at the time of initiation of ART were more likely to experience virological failure than those in stages 1-3, odds ratio (OR): 5.20 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.34-20.11), P = 0.017. Patients who reported that their health status was evaluated by a physician at each visit were less likely to experience virological failure, OR: 0.02 (95% CI 0.00-0.24), P = 0.002.

Abstract Background Progress toward the global target for 95% virological suppression among those on antiretroviral treatment (ART) is still suboptimal. We describe the viral load (VL) cascade, the incidence of virological failure and associated risk factors among people living with HIV receiving first-line ART in an HIV cohort in Myanmar treated by the Médecins Sans Frontières in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Sports Myanmar. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study, including adult patients with at least one HIV viral load test result and having received of at least 6 months’ standard first-line ART. The incidence rate of virological failure (HIV viral load ≥ 1000 copies/mL) was calculated. Multivariable Cox’s regression was performed to identify risk factors for virological failure. Results We included 25,260 patients with a median age of 33.1 years (interquartile range, IQR 28.0–39.1) and a median observation time of 5.4 years (IQR 3.7–7.9). Virological failure was documented in 3,579 (14.2%) participants, resulting in an overall incidence rate for failure of 2.5 per 100 person-years of follow-up. Among those who had a follow-up viral load result, 1,258 (57.1%) had confirmed virological failure, of which 836 (66.5%) were switched to second-line treatment. An increased hazard for failure was associated with age ≤ 19 years (adjusted hazard ratio, aHR 1.51; 95% confidence intervals, CI 1.20–1.89; p < 0.001), baseline tuberculosis (aHR 1.39; 95% CI 1.14–1.49; p < 0.001), a history of low-level viremia (aHR 1.60; 95% CI 1.42–1.81; p < 0.001), or a history of loss-to-follow-up (aHR 1.24; 95% CI 1.41–1.52; p = 0.041) and being on the same regimen (aHR 1.37; 95% CI 1.07–1.76; p < 0.001). Cumulative appointment delay was not significantly associated with failure after controlling for covariates. Conclusions VL monitoring is an important tool to improve programme outcomes, however limited coverage of VL testing and acting on test results hampers its full potential. In our cohort children and adolescents, PLHIV with history of loss-to-follow-up or those with low-viremia are at the highest risk of virological failure and might require more frequent virological monitoring than is currently recommended.

Background While the proportion of HIV-positive children (under 15 years) enrolled on antiretroviral therapy (ART) has increased in recent years, up to 60% of children started on ART do not achieve virological suppression. We set out to determine the factors associated with virological non-suppression among children living with HIV receiving ART at a peri-urban HIV care clinic in Kampala, Uganda. Method This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at the pediatric HIV/AIDS clinic at the Joint Clinical Research Centre (JCRC) in Kampala, Uganda. Three hundred (300) HIV-positive children (0–14 years) were randomly selected from existing medical records and data on children’s socio-demographic and clinical characteristics (age at ART initiation, WHO clinical staging, and ART-induced side effects) were abstracted using a data abstraction form. Virological non-suppression was defined as a viral load ≥1000 copies/Ml of blood after six months of ART initiation. Incident rate ratios (IRRs) were determined as a measure of association between virological non-suppression and child/patient characteristics. The IRRs were obtained via a modified Poisson regression with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). All analyses were done using statistical package, Stata version 15. Results The overall non-suppression rate among HIV-positive children on ART was 23%. Being at WHO clinical stage 4 at ART initiation [adj. IRR 2.74; 95%CI: 1.63, 4.61] and ART-induced side effects [adj. IRR 1.77; 95%CI: 1.06, 2.97] were significantly associated with non-suppression. Older age at ART initiation (age 5–9 years: [adj. IRR 0.42; 95%CI: 0.28, 0.65]; age 10–14 years: [adj. IRR 0.34; 95%CI: 0.18, 0.64] was less likely to be associated with virological non-suppression. Conclusion Nearly a quarter of HIV-positive children on ART had a non-suppressed viral load after six months of treatment. Being at WHO clinical stage 4 at ART initiation and ART-induced side effects were significantly associated with virological non-suppression while older age at ART initiation was protective. Our findings suggest a need for age-specific interventions, particularly those targeting children below five years of age, to improve virological suppression among HIV-positive children receiving ART in this setting.

Background<br />The body mass index (BMI) may contribute somewhat to drug metabolism, thus affecting the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy (ART). CD4+ counts   in people infected with HIV are essential in determining the stage of the disease, initiation of antiretroviral therapy, opportunistic infections and evaluating treatment outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the association of BMI and clinical stage with CD4+ counts in HIV patients seeking treatment using first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART).<br /><br />Methods<br />An analytic study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted involving 251 HIV/AIDS patients who had received first-line antiretrovirals over six months. BMI, clinical staging according to WHO and CD4 + were collected. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the relationship between BMI, clinical stage and CD4+.<br /><br />Results<br />Among the enrolled patients, the median age was 36 years, 135 (55%) of the patients was female, 102 (40.6%) was overweight/obese, 161 (64.1%) was in stage 3 of the disease, and the median CD4+ count was 389 cells/mm3. Multiple linear regression test showed two variables with a significant effect on CD4+ count, namely BMI (B=69.247; 95 % CI : 42.886-95.608) and clinical stage (B=61.590; 28.910-94.270). BMI was the most influencing factor for CD4+ count (β=0.307) compared to clinical stage (β=0.216). <br /><br />Conclusions<br />Body mass index was the most influencing factor for CD4 + counts of HIV/AIDS patients. Regular ART can increase CD4+ counts and maintain the health of HIV/AIDS patients.

ObjectiveTo identify determinants of virological failure among HIV-infected adults on first-line highly active antiretroviral therapy at public health facilities in Kombolcha town, Northeast, Ethiopia, in 2019.MethodsAn unmatched case–control study was conducted from April to May 2019. About 130 cases and 259 controls were selected by simple random sampling. Data were extracted from charts of patients using a structured checklist. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify possible factors. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to check the model. Finally, independent predictor variables of virological failure were identified based on adjusted OR (AOR) with 95% CI and a p value of 0.05.ResultsThe odds of virological failure were 2.4-fold (AOR=2.44, 95% CI 1.353 to 4.411) higher in clients aged <35 years compared with older clients, fivefold (AOR=5.00, 95% CI 2.60 to 9.63) higher in clients who did not disclose their HIV status, threefold (AOR=2.99, 95% CI 1.33 to 6.73) higher in clients with poor adherence, and 7.5-fold (AOR=7.51, 95% CI 3.98 to 14.14) higher in clients who had recent CD4 count of ≤250 cells/mm3.Conclusion and recommendationThis study revealed that age, marital status, occupation, disclosure status, baseline functional status, missed clinic visit, current antiretroviral therapy regimen, adherence to treatment and recent CD4 count were significantly associated with virological failure. Therefore, adherence support should be strengthened among clients. Missed clinic visits should also be reduced, as it could help clients better adhere to treatment, and therefore boost their immunity and suppress viral replication.
