Background and purpose: The incidence of first line ART failure is increasing in the South East Asia region. The main referral hospital in Bali has recorded an increased use of second line ART due to the first line ART failure. This study aims to explore risk factors associated to first line ART failure.Methods: A case control study was conducted among people living with HIV and AIDS at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar who started first line ART between 2004 and 2013. Cases were those who diagnosed as having clinical treatment failure and still on treatment in 2015. Controls were those with no treatment failure. Sex and year of ART initiation were matched between case and control. Data were obtained from medical records that include initial regiments, HIV mode of transmission, the WHO HIV clinical stage, CD4 count, opportunistic infections, body mass index, hemoglobin level, and drug substitution at the beginning and during treatment. Risk factors were analysed using logistic regression.Results: Out of 68 HIV/AIDS patients with clinical ART failure, 72.1% were confirmed with immunological and 36.8% were confirmed with virological failure. Median time before treatment failure was 3.5 years. Factors associated to ART failure were HIV clinical stage IV with (AOR=3.43; 95%CI=1.65-7.13) and being widow/widower (AOR=4.85; 95%CI=1.52-15.53). Patients with TB co-infection have a lower risk for treatment failure due to early diagnosis and treatment through TB-HIV program with (AOR=0.32; 95%CI=0.14-0.70).Conclusions: Higher HIV clinical stage at ART initiation increases the risk of treatment failure. HIV-TB co-infection indirectly reduces the risk of treatment failure.

Although the prevalence of intestinal cryptosporidiosis in Indonesian HIV and AIDS patients were high, however the prevalence of pulmonary cryptosporidiosis have not been previously reported. The objective of this study was to know the determination of the pulmonary cryptosporidiosis prevalence in HIV and AIDS patients with pulmonary symptom that was treated in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. The detection of Cryptosporidium in sputum samples used modified versien acid fast stain of Ziehl Neelsen technique. In this study was found that three (3) of the eight (8) sputum samples (37.5%) of ≥55 years old and CD4≤70 HIV and AIDS patients were Cryptosporidium positive. Based on this study the HIV and AIDS patients with pulmonary symptoms should be suspect having the possibility of pulmonary cryptosporidiosis beside suffered tuberculosis.
