Detection of nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor-resistant HIV-1 after discontinuation of virologically suppressive antiretroviral therapy.

چکیده
Using standard and ultrasensitive techniques, we detected nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor-associated resistance mutations in 11 (20%) of 54 subjects who discontinued virologically suppressive nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor-containing antiretroviral therapy. Resistance was detected in 45% and 14% of subjects with a baseline human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA level of 51-400 copies/mL and <or=50 copies/mL, respectively. Mutations remained detectable for at least 48 weeks in some subjects.

Drug- Resistance- Associated Mutations and HIV Sub-Type Determination in Drug-Naïve and HIV-Positive Patients under Treatment with Antiretroviral Drugs
Abstract Background and Objective: Resistance to antiretroviral agents is a significant concern in clinical management of HIV-infected individuals. Resistance is the result of mutations that develops in the viral protein targeted by antiretroviral agents. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the blood samples of 40 HIV-positive patients were collected. Twenty of them were d...
متن کاملInhibition of multi-drug resistant HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by nucleoside β-triphosphates.
Despite the success of potent reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in combination regimens, the development of drug resistant RTs constitutes a major hurdle for the long-term efficacy of current antiretroviral therapy. Nucleoside β-triphosphate analogs of adenosine and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) (3'-azido-2',3'-dideox...
متن کاملA retrospective study of HIV antiretroviral treatment persistence in a commercially insured population in the United States
This study examined factors associated with persistence (time from initiation to discontinuation of treatment) on initial antiretroviral (ARV) therapy in commercially insured HIV patients in the United States, a population not well researched. This retrospective analysis of US health insurance claims data from 1 January 2003 to 30 June 2008 included treatment-naive patients aged 18-65 years wit...
متن کاملDisease Management - Constructing Optimal NRTI-Based Combinations: Past, Present, and Future
Introduction More than a decade ago, it became apparent that treatment of HIV infection with only 1 antiretroviral agent was associated with the rapid development of resistance.[1] Clinical trials conducted at that time showed that combining 2 antiretroviral agents improved virologic and immunologic responses, compared with use of a single agent. Accordingly, 2-drug combination antiretroviral t...

Forty-five human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients stopped taking treatment but resumed taking it thereafter. All 11 who resumed treatment with their prior protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimen reattained an undetectable virus load, whereas this occurred for only 15 (44%) of 34 patients who resumed nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based treatment (P<.001). Dist...
