Potential implications of HAART without virological monitoring: Therapy failure? CD4 count VL Months Years VL 1 Treatment onset Virological failure (>1c/mL) Clinical failure (AIDS events) increasing resistance
All viruses are archived and can re-emerge Drug pressure Resistance testing only detects the majority virus population in plasma wild type drug-resistant virus
IMPACT OF VIRAL VARIATION/QUASISPECIES Potency Durability Viral load total majority susceptible strain minority resistant strain time -FIRST PHASE VIRAL DECLINE AS AN IN VIVO PHENOTYPE
HOW TO DEFINE RESISTANCE? Genotype- mutations, collections of mutations In vitro phenotype fold resistance, gene of choice Clinical response- complexity of multiple drugs

Objective To assess the impact of transmitted drug resistance mutations on virological and immunological response up to 16 months after starting a combination antiretroviral therapy (cart) Specific analyses: Transmitted drug resistance and fully active treatment 2NRTI + 1NNRTI or 2NRTI + 1boosted PI regimen Study population HIV infected patients regardless of age Start of cart after 1.1.1998 1 sample taken before antiretroviral treatment for genotypic testing 22
Methods Virologic endpoint: time to first of two consecutive viral load>5 copies/ml after six months of therapy Definition TDR (two steps): WHO list 29 1 Patients having at least one mutation Stanford 2 version 6..5 Group Patients with no detected mutation (used as a reference group) Group 1 show no drug resistance to their prescribed drug (classified as susceptible or as potential low level resistance ) Group 2 resistant to at least one of their prescribed drugs (classified as Low-level resistance, Intermediate' or as High level resistance ) 1 Bennett PlosOne 29, 2 Liu CID 26 23
Characteristics at the time of starting cart 1,56 patients from 25 cohorts 76% male Median age 38 years 56% of European origin 69% harboured a subtype B virus Pre-treatment viral load and CD4 counts were 5 log1 cp/ml and 218 cells/μl Transmission risk groups: 5% homosexual, 32% heterosexual, 8% IDUs and 2.1% perinatal 9.5% (n=954) patients harboured a virus with 1 mutation 49.8% (n=475) received a fully active treatment 5.2% (n=479) harboured a virus predicted to have at 24 least low level resistance for 1 prescribed drug
Virological failure according to TDR In adjusted analysis*: Patients with resistance to 1 drug: - significant higher risk of VF compared to patients without mutations - HR: 3.3 (2.5; 4.4) P<1-4 % VF 25 2 15 patients receiving a fully active cart and patients with no mutation: - risk of VF was not significantly different - HR: 1.4 (.9; 2.3) P=.17 1 5 6 7 8 9 1 11 12 Time after start of therapy (month) *All models stratified by cohort ; multivariable models ajusted for: Gender, age, pre-treatment viral load and CD4 count, year of treatment start, previous AIDS diagnosis, subtype, HIV transmission risk group, origin 25

Conclusion Differential resistance on 1 st line therapy Impact of resistance is a function of therapeutic availability increase transmission of resistance likely with extended roll out
