ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Integrase strand-transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-containing regimens have gradually been administered in Guangdong Province, China beginning in 2016, and INSTI-related drug resistance (DR) may occur and should be monitored among HIV-1-infected patients.OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the prevalence of INSTI-related resistance among HIV-1-infected individuals in Guangdong and provide evidence for the optimal administration of INSTIs.METHODS:
This study recruited 1208 HIV-1-infected patients (including 404 ART-naive and 804 ART-experienced patients) between June 2021 and April 2022. The entire integrase gene was amplified from blood plasma. Demographic and epidemiological information were collected. INSTI mutations and susceptibility were interpreted using the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database HIVdb program.RESULTS:
Of the 1208 enrolled individuals, 2.65% (32/1208) carried at least one INSTI major or accessory drug resistance mutation (DRM), with 1.49% (6/404) being from ART-naive individuals and 3.23% (26/804) from ART-experienced individuals. Among them, seven polymorphic major mutations were detected. Although no INSTI drug resistance was found among treatment-naive patients, seven ART-experienced patients (0.87%, 7/804) carried mutations conferring resistance to INSTIs.CONCLUSION:
The overall prevalence of INSTI DRMs and DR was comparatively low among ART-naive and ART-treated populations in Guangdong; however, INSTI-related polymorphic mutations were observed. Surveillance should be reinforced before transfer to INSTI-containing regimens.
