Journal ArticleDOI

HIV-1 drug resistance before initiation or re-initiation of first-line antiretroviral therapy in low-income and middle-income countries: a systematic review and meta-regression analysis

TL;DR: In 2016, the prevalence of pretreatment NNRTI resistance was near WHO's 10% threshold for changing first-line ART in southern and eastern Africa and Latin America, underscoring the need for routine national HIV drug-resistance surveillance and review of national policies for first- line ART regimen composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global epidemiology of drug resistance after failure of WHO recommended first-line regimens for adult HIV-1 infection: a multicentre retrospective cohort study

John Gregson, +71 more
TL;DR: A global assessment of drug resistance after virological failure with first-line tenofovir-containing ART, defined as presence of K65R/N or K70E/G/Q mutations in the reverse transcriptase ( RT ) gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geographic and temporal trends in the molecular epidemiology and genetic mechanisms of transmitted HIV-1 drug resistance: an individual-patient- and sequence-level meta-analysis

TL;DR: Most TDR strains in SSA and SSEA arose independently, suggesting that ARV regimens with a high genetic barrier to resistance combined with improved patient adherence may mitigate TDR increases by reducing the generation of new ARV-resistant strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global and regional molecular epidemiology of HIV-1, 1990–2015: a systematic review, global survey, and trend analysis

Joris Hemelaar, +181 more
TL;DR: The distribution of HIV-1 subtypes and recombinants changed over time in countries, regions, and globally as well as at a global level during 2005-15, where subtype B increased, subtypes A and D were stable, and subtypes C and G and CRF02_AG decreased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antiretroviral drug resistance surveillance among drug-naive HIV-1-infected individuals in Gauteng Province, South Africa in 2002 and 2004.

TL;DR: Using the threshold survey, resistance prevalence overall and for each drug class in 2002 and 2004 was <5% for the Gauteng province of South Africa, suggesting that surveillance should be conducted annually among untreated populations to determine if this increases with time.
