Summary of presentation
• Mechanisms of ARV resistance • How do we look for resistance• Clinical implications • Some review of resistance in Uganda (Including
Dart) • National HIVDR Drug Resistance Prevention,
Monitoring and Surveillance Plan
Mechanisms of Drug Resistance and Diversity
• HIV-1 genetic variability is generated by the lack of proof-reading ability of reverse transcription
• Rapid turnover of HIV in vivo• Host selective immune pressures• Recombination events during replication
• Of the 10 billion new viruses produced, 1/1000 (10
million) viruses per day will have one new "error" (mutation) some of which make the virus resistant to ART drugs
Selective Pressures of Therapy
Selection of resistant quasispecies
Incomplete suppression• Inadequate potency• Inadequate drug levels• Inadequate adherence• Pre-existing resistance

V. Failure
Other factors
• Genetic barrier:– Some drugs like lamivudine and NNRTIs
have a low genetic barrier in that they only require a single mutation to cause resistance.
– On the other hand drugs like abacavir and indinavir require at least three mutations before significant loss of activity
• Half life: – Long half life e.g Tenofovir
Patterns of mutation
• Degree of resistance by a mutation differs• E.g M184V mutation:
– <5 fold resistance to abacavir and didanosine >1000 fold resistance to lamuvidine
– K103R leads to 20-30 fold resistance to NNRTI
• Cross-resistance; 151M arises primarily with DDI but leads to resistance to most NRTIs
Patterns of mutation
• K65R causes tenofovir resistance but increases sensitivity to AZT
• NVP Y181C can suppress effect of AZT 215 mutation
• Mutation patterns observed in combination treatment have become complex and interpretation needs experience
Measurement of HIV Drug Resistance
• Genotypic assays: Commercial e.g ViroSeq Kit (Abbot Diagonostics), TrueGene Kit; In house
• Phenotypic assays: Virco Laboratories (Belgium, USA)
• “Virtual” phenotype– Use of genotype results to predict phenotypic
susceptibility based originally on database of paired genotype and phenotype data or, more recently, through scores derived from linear regression analysis
Genotyping assays
Cross-check for contamination fromolder samples by phylogenetic analysis
Acquire consensus sequences And save them as text files
Phenotypic assays
• “Culture and sensitivity”• In vitro determination of drug susceptibility:
compare the concentration at which virus replication is inhibited by 50% (IC50) compare with a reference strain
• Cost: about US $300

Should we worry about drug resistance
• USA: 1999 an estimated 87% of patients with detectable viremia receiving treatment with ARVs had evidence of genotypic mutations associated with HIV resistance to at least one drug (70% for NRTI, 31% for NNRTI and 42% for protease inhibitors)
• In recently infected individuals resistance prevalence ranges between 10-25% in some communities in Europe and USA
Review of drug resistancein Uganda
Some information on resistance in Uganda
• Drug naïve:– Becker-Pergola et al. AIDS Res Hum Retro 2000– Weidle PJ et ak JAIDS 2001– Richard N et al. ARHR 2004– Gale C et al. ARHR 2006
NO resistant mutations but appreciable polymorphisms-minor mutations that could have
relevance in resistance development• Transmitted resistance:

On treatment in clinics (JCRC and UNAIDS HIV drug access initiative
clinics)• Weidle PJ et al. JAIDS 2001• Weidle PJ et al. Lancet 2002• Weidle P.J et al. AIDS 2003• Richard N et al. ARHRetro 2004• Oyugi JH et al. AIDS 2007Note late 1990s some were on dual NRTI therapy, most paying and price high
Summary findings: Resistance detected in those with virological failure, mutations were similar to subtype B;
phenotypic resistance corresponded to genotypic resistance; treatment interruptions lead to resistance
Resistance under PMTCT(HIVNET 006 & 012)

• Summary: In women K103N NVP mutation 6-8 weeks after delivery and fades by 12-24 months!! Minor population missed
• In infants: Y181C
• What will happen when these women and infants start HAART will NVP containing regimens be effective
Is it possible to prevent HIV Drug Resistance?
No, NOT ENTIRELY
Some degree of HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) is inevitable
high rate of mutation
treatment is life long
The Country HIVDR PackageNational HIVDR strategy elements for
countries scaling up ARTA. Development of a national HIVDR
strategy working group, plan and budgetB. HIVDR prevention activitiesC. Regular evaluation of HIVDR "early
warning" indicators from all ART treatment sites
D. HIVDR transmission threshold surveys: geographic areas, populations, timing
E. Sentinel monitoring of HIVDR emerging in treated populations and related ART programme factors
F. HIVDR database developmentG. A designated HIVDR genotyping
laboratoryH. Preparation of national annual HIVDR
report and recommendations
23rd -24th January 2007, Kampala, Uganda
Goal of Plan
• To support ART program practices and country planning in order to minimize the unnecessary emergence of HIV drug resistance, and to restrict the extent to which emerging resistance jeopardizes the effectiveness of the limited ART regimens available, within the context of the national HIV prevention and treatment plan.
Specific Objectives and key activities
• Develop an support capacity for HIVDR prevention, monitoring and surveillance
• Develop a list of EWI that will be regularly evaluated
• Support and coordinate surveillance of HIVDR transmission in different geographical regions
• Support and coordinate the monitoring of HIVDR arising in paediatric and adult populations starting and continuing treatment
Objectives continue
• Accredit and support local laboratories to support HIVDR activities
• Develop and maintain a data management system
• ***Develop and maintain a system to disseminate program findings and results for evidence based HIV drug resistance containment strategies ( translate into policy
Some achievements so far
• Consensus workshop Jan 2007• HIVDR working group created• HIVDR transmitted Threshold survey (In press
ARHR)• Early Warning Indicators (Pilot completed)• UVRI National reference laboratory final stages of
WHO Accreditation• Some equipments and reagents obtained from The
Global Fund
QCMD 2007 ENVA7 HIV Drug Resistance Typing Proficiency Programme
Next activities
• Sentinel HIVDR monitoring at selected treatment sites
• Repeat Threshold transmitted resistance in Kampala and later Mbarara
• Collaborate with other partners such as PharmAccess

Beatrice Crahay, Miss Marion Acieng, Dr Pontiano Kaleebu
and
The National HIVDR Technical Working group
WHO Recommended HIVDR EWI• The HIVDR TWG prioritised 6 HIVDR EWI and set
thresholds for each– Indicator 1: Prescribing practices – Indicator 2: Defaulter rates during the first 12 months
of ART– Indicator 3: Retention on first-line during the first 12
months of ART– Indicator 4: Appointment keeping over a 12 months
period– Indicator 5: Pill count adherence– Indicator 6: Continuity of ARV drug supply in facilities
Methods
• Sample of 41 ART sites during Nov – Dec 2007
• Sampled from all regions, various partners, different levels and modes of ART service delivery that had had ART established for at least 1 year
• Trained field workers and constituted 6 teams of 2• 5 teams comprised of persons with medical
training and clinical experience of ART – 28 sites
• One team of 2 data managers with IT background and experience in EMRS - 13 sites

Conclusions
• Resistance develops in those who do not suppress virus• We need to study more how resistance develops in absence of
virological monitoring• A national ART prevention and monitoring plan is operational• A small study has not demonstrated transmitted resistant
viruses• A significant proportion of patients in ART treatment centers
start on appropriate ART regimens• Drug stock-out afflict many centers and poses a danger for poor
adherence and resistance development
