RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Tackling HIV drug resistance is one of major challenges for ending AIDS epidemic, but the elevated expense of cutting-edge genomics hampers the advancement of HIV genotype testing for clinical care. METHODS: We developed a HIV genotype testing pipeline that centers on a cost-efficient portable Nanopore sequencer. Accuracy verification was conducted through comparison with parallel data obtained via fixed-site Pacbio sequencing. Our complete pol-gene sequencing strategy coupled with portable high-throughput sequencing was applied to identify drug resistance mutations across 58 samples sourced from the ART-treated Los Angeles General Medical Center Rand Schrader Clinic (LARSC) cohort (7 samples from 7 individuals) and the ART-naïve Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI) cohort (51 samples from 38 individuals). RESULTS: A total of 472 HIV consensus sequences, each tagged with a unique molecular identifier, were produced from over 1.4 million bases acquired through portable Nanopore sequencing, which matched those obtained independently via Pacbio sequencing. With this desirable accuracy, we first documented the linkage of multidrug cross-resistance mutations across Integrase Strand Transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) and Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs) from an individual failing a second-generation INSTI regimen. By producing more than 500 full-length HIV pol gene sequences in a single portable sequencing run, we detected Protease Inhibitor (PI), Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI), NNRTI and INSTI resistance mutations. All drug resistance mutations identified through portable sequencing were cross-validated using fixed-site Pacbio sequencing. CONCLUSIONS: Our accurate and affordable HIV drug resistance testing solution is adaptable for both individual patient care and large-scale surveillance initiatives.

Background: People with HIV (PWH) have a high burden of coronary plaques; however, the comparison to people without known HIV (PwoH) needs clarification. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine coronary plaque burden/phenotype in PWH vs PwoH. Methods: Nonstatin using participants from 3 contemporary populations without known coronary plaques with coronary CT were compared: the REPRIEVE (Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV) studying PWH without cardiovascular symptoms at low-to-moderate risk (n = 755); the SCAPIS (Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage Study) of asymptomatic community PwoH at low-to-intermediate cardiovascular risk (n = 23,558); and the PROMISE (Prospective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of Chest Pain) of stable chest pain PwoH (n = 2,291). The coronary plaque prevalence on coronary CT was compared, and comparisons were stratified by 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, age, and coronary artery calcium (CAC) presence. Results: Compared to SCAPIS and PROMISE PwoH, REPRIEVE PWH were younger (50.8 ± 5.8 vs 57.3 ± 4.3 and 60.0 ± 8.0 years; P < 0.001) and had lower ASCVD risk (5.0% ± 3.2% vs 6.0% ± 5.3% and 13.5% ± 11.0%; P < 0.001). More PWH had plaque compared to the asymptomatic cohort (48.5% vs 40.3%; P < 0.001). When stratified by ASCVD risk, PWH had more plaque compared to SCAPIS and a similar prevalence of plaque compared to PROMISE. CAC = 0 was more prevalent in PWH (REPRIEVE 65.2%; SCAPIS 61.6%; PROMISE 49.6%); among CAC = 0, plaque was more prevalent in PWH compared to the PwoH cohorts (REPRIEVE 20.8%; SCAPIS 5.4%; PROMISE 12.3%, P < 0.001). Conclusions: Asymptomatic PWH in REPRIEVE had more plaque than asymptomatic PwoH in SCAPIS but had similar prevalence to a higher-risk stable chest pain cohort in PROMISE. In PWH, CAC = 0 does not reliably exclude plaque.
