HIV-1 tropism assays play a crucial role in determining the response to CCR5 receptor antagonists. Initially, phenotypic tests were used, but limited access to these tests prompted the development of alternative strategies. Recently, genotyping tropism has been validated using a Canadian technology in clinical trials investigating the use of maraviroc in both experienced and treatment-naive patients. The present guidelines review the evidence supporting the use of genotypic assays and provide recommendations regarding tropism testing in daily clinical management.

AbstractGenotypic resistance interpretation systems for the prediction and interpretation of HIV-1 antiretroviral resistance are an important part of the clinical management of HIV-1 infection. Current interpretation systems are generally hosted on remote webservers that enable clinical laboratories to generate resistance predictions easily and quickly from patient HIV-1 sequences encoding the primary targets of modern antiretroviral therapy. However they also potentially compromise a health provider’s ethical, professional, and legal obligations to data security, patient information confidentiality, and data provenance. Furthermore, reliance on web-based algorithms makes the clinical management of HIV-1 dependent on a network connection. Here, we describe the development and validation of sierra-local, an open-source implementation of the Stanford HIVdb genotypic resistance interpretation system for local execution, which aims to resolve the ethical, legal, and infrastructure issues associated with remote computing. This package reproduces the HIV-1 resistance scoring by the web-based Stanford HIVdb algorithm with a high degree of concordance (99.997%) and a higher level of performance than current methods of accessing HIVdb programmatically.
