Perinatal acquisition of drug-resistant HIV-1 infection: mechanisms and long-term outcome

Abstract: Background: Primary-HIV-1-infection in newborns that occurs under antiretroviral prophylaxis that is a high risk of drug-resistance acquisition. We examine the frequency and the mechanisms of resistance acquisition at the time of infection in newborns.

“…If available, the antiretroviral history of the mother or other source case should also be documented. In view of the possibility of transmitted drug resistance 18, 19 and unreported prior ART exposure, HIV genotypic resistance testing is recommended at baseline (including reverse transcriptase, protease and integrase resistance testing when available). If available, the results of resistance testing of the source case, as close as possible to the time of transmission, should also be documented.…”

“…In contrast, resistant viruses selected when ART fails [1921] or acquired at the time of HIV-1 infection [22, 23] can persist for years. If mutant concentrations wane below the threshold of detection in the absence of drug pressure, the mutants can persist as viable proviruses, even after only a single dose of nevirapine [24], and if selective pressure is resumed, these can replicate and repopulate the blood [25].…”

“…The presence of BC recombinants in Indian HIV-1 infected adult patients has been recently observed [ 23 , 24 ], hence, emphasis should be on early subtyping in HIV-1 infected children, for the design of appropriate prevention strategies. There is an enhanced need for an early drug resistance genotyping in infants born to mothers who received suboptimal antiretroviral prophylaxis; due to the plausible vertical transmission of the drug resistant HIV-1 [ 25 ]. Limited information is available so far on the HIV-1 drug resistance in children from India and most of these are addressed in children on single dose drug therapy.…”
