PG - 681-687 LID - 10.1089/AID.2019.0001 [doi] AB - Non-nucleoside reverse transcription inhibitor (NNRTI)-containing antiretroviral therapy (ART) for the prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has led to dramatic reductions in perinatal HIV infection in resource-constrained settings. Nonetheless, PMTCT programs are complicated by repeat pregnancies, in which long-term or repeat exposures to PMTCT regimens over time may lead to the acquisition of HIV drug resistance mutations, and consequent treatment failure. In this study, we retrospectively assessed the effectiveness of the NNRTI-based PMTCT protocol from 2008 to 2010 in The Bahamas National HIV/AIDS Program. We show that women who had been in repeat pregnancies and those who were already prescribed ART at conception were at increased risk of virologic failure, relative to treatment-inexperienced women and primigravida, respectively (AOR 3.1, 95% CI: 1.3-7.1, p = .008 and AOR 5.0, 95% CI: 1.8-14.1, p = .002). In addition, women undergoing treatment at conception were more likely to possess HIVDR mutations relative to treatment-naive women (AOR 447.1, 95% CI: 17.9-11,173.5, p = .001). Therefore, individual treatment history is a key metric determining the effectiveness of current and future PMTCT interventions. The implications of this to PMTCT programmatic success in light of the most recent WHO guidelines are discussed.
