PG - 205-209 AB - OBJECTIVES: The most recent guidelines suggest using integrase strand-transfer inhibitors (InSTIs) as the preferred antiretroviral regimens for naive HIV-infected individuals. However, resistance to InSTIs is not monitored in many centres at baseline. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of InSTI resistance substitutions in newly diagnosed patients with acute/recent HIV infection. METHODS: Genotypic drug resistance tests were performed in all consecutive patients prospectively enrolled with a documented infection of <6 months, from 12 May 2015 to 12 May 2016. Sequences were obtained by high-throughput sequencing. RESULTS: Five out of 36 consecutive patients (13.89%, 95% CI = 4.67-29.5) with acute/recent HIV infection were detected to have strains carrying InSTI polymorphisms or substitutions conferring low-level resistance to raltegravir and elvitegravir. Four patients had the 157Q polymorphism and one patient had the Q95K substitution. All cases were MSM patients infected with subtype B strains. Viral loads ranged from 2.92 to 6.95 log(10) copies/mL. In all cases, the mutational viral load was high. Three patients initiated dolutegravir-based regimens and became undetectable at first viral load control. There were no major viral or epidemiological differences when compared with patients without InSTI substitutions. CONCLUSIONS: Although signature InSTI substitutions (such as Y143R/C, N155H or Q148K/R/H) were not detected, polymorphisms and substitutions conferring low-level resistance to raltegravir and elvitegravir were frequently found in a baseline genotypic test. All cases were infected with subtype B, the most frequent in Europe. In the context of primary HIV infection, virological response should be carefully monitored to evaluate the impact of these InSTI polymorphisms and substitutions. CI - (c) The Author 2016.
