Changes from 2000 to 2009 in the Prevalence of HIV-1 Containing Drug Resistance-Associated Mutations from Antiretroviral Therapy-Naive HIV-1-Infected Patients in the United States

摘要

Pre-existing HIV drug resistance can jeopardize first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) success. Changes in the prevalence of drug resistance-associated mutations (DRMs) were analyzed from HIV-infected, ART-naive, U.S. individuals seeking ART treatment from 2000 to 2009. HIV DRM data from 3,829 ART-naive subjects were analyzed by year of sample collection using International Antiviral Society-United States (IAS-USA) and World Health Organization (WHO) “surveillance” DRM definitions; minor IAS-USA-defined DRMs were excluded. IAS-USA DRM prevalence between 2000 and 2009 was 14%, beginning with 8% in 2000 and 13% in 2009. The greatest incidence was observed in 2007 (17%). Overall, IAS-USA-defined non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) DRMs were 9.5%; nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI): 4%, and major protease inhibitor (PI): 3%. The most frequently detected IAS-USA-defined DRMs by class were NNRTI: K103N/S (4%), NRTI: M41L (1.5%), and PI: L90M (1%). Overall, WHO-defined DRM prevalence was 13% (5% in 2000; 13% in 2009). By class, NNRTI prevalence was 6%, NRTI: 6%, and PI: 3.2%. The most frequent WHO-defined DRMs were NRTI: codon T215 (3.0%), NNRTI: K103N/S (4%), and PI: L90 (1%). WHO-defined NNRTI DRMs declined significantly (p = .0412) from 2007 to 2009. The overall prevalence of HIV-1 containing major IAS-USA or WHO-defined DRMs to ≥2 or ≥3 classes was 2% and <1%, respectively. The prevalence of HIV-1 with WHO-defined dual- or triple-class resistance significantly declined (p = .0461) from 2008 (4%) to 2009 (<1%). In this U.S. cohort, the prevalence of HIV-1 DRMs increased from 2000 onward, peaked between 2005 and 2007, and then declined between 2008 and 2009; the detection of WHO-defined dual- or triple-class DRM similarly decreased from 2008 to 2009.
