Patients with antiretroviral therapy interruption have a high risk of virological failure when re-initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART), especially those with HIV drug resistance. Next-generation sequencing may provide close scrutiny on their minority drug resistance variant. A cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with ART interruption in five regions in China in 2016. Through Sanger and next-generation sequencing in parallel, HIV drug resistance was genotyped on their plasma samples. Rates of HIV drug resistance were compared by the McNemar tests. In total, 174 patients were included in this study, with a median 12 (interquartile range (IQR), 6–24) months of ART interruption. Most (86.2%) of them had received efavirenz (EFV)/nevirapine (NVP)-based first-line therapy for a median 16 (IQR, 7–26) months before ART interruption. Sixty-one (35.1%) patients had CRF07_BC HIV-1 strains, 58 (33.3%) CRF08_BC and 35 (20.1%) CRF01_AE. Thirty-four (19.5%) of the 174 patients were detected to harbor HIV drug-resistant variants on Sanger sequencing. Thirty-six (20.7%), 37 (21.3%), 42 (24.1%), 79 (45.4%) and 139 (79.9) patients were identified to have HIV drug resistance by next-generation sequencing at 20% (v.s. Sanger, p = 0.317), 10% (v.s. Sanger, p = 0.180), 5% (v.s. Sanger, p = 0.011), 2% (v.s. Sanger, p < 0.001) and 1% (v.s. Sanger, p < 0.001) of detection thresholds, respectively. K65R was the most common minority mutation, of 95.1% (58/61) and 93.1% (54/58) in CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC, respectively, when compared with 5.7% (2/35) in CRF01_AE (p < 0.001). In 49 patients that followed-up a median 10 months later, HIV drug resistance mutations at >20% frequency such as K103N, M184VI and P225H still existed, but with decreased frequencies. The prevalence of HIV drug resistance in ART interruption was higher than 15% in the survey. Next-generation sequencing was able to detect more minority drug resistance variants than Sanger. There was a sharp increase in minority drug resistance variants when the detection threshold was below 5%.

Abstract Background The World Health Organization (WHO) HIV Drug Resistance (HIVDR) report 2012 demonstrated that the levels of HIVDR to first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) are increasing. This finding threatens to reverse a decade of gains in HIV/AIDS epidemic control. The WHO Global Action Plan for HIVDR emphasizes strengthening surveillance of drug resistance through the implementation of national cross-sectional surveys. We conducted such survey to determine the prevalence of HIVDR among ART-naive patients in Zimbabwe and to describe the profile of the surveillance drug resistance mutations (SDRM) encountered in the country. Methods A prospective, nationally representative, cross-sectional survey was conducted in 35 clinical sites selected using two stage probability proportional to size sampling. Patients were enrolled during April–July 2015. Specimens were sent for genotyping to CDC Atlanta. SDRM were interpreted using Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database classification. Results A total of 361 subjects were surveyed. Most participants were female (60.3%) and the median age was 35.8 years. Thirty-four out of 361subjects presented with ≥1 SDRM (9.4%, 95% confidence interval: 6.8–12.8%) prior to initiation antiretroviral therapy (ART). Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) mutations were the most commonly detected mutation (n = 30). Only two patients presented with a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor mutation and one patient presented with a protease inhibitor mutation. In two patients, ≥3 SDRMs were detected, which may suggest they were not truly ART-naïve. Conclusion This study provides national estimates of HIVDR in a high burden country with broad access to ART and provides valuable inisight on the state of HIVDR in such setting. Zimbabwe has reached moderate levels of HIVDR in ART-naive patients, as specified by the WHO classification. These levels may impact the ability to achieve viral suppression in a significant number of patients initiating standard ART regimens in Zimbabwe, where NNRTI-based regimens are used as the first line. The use of drugs with high resistance barrier, such as dolutegravir, may improve the care of patients in the developing world, where individualized pretreatment genotype is not feasible.
