Virological Suppression Achieved with Suboptimal Adherence Levels among South African Children Receiving Boosted Protease Inhibitor–Based Antiretroviral Therapy

Abstract: Sixty-six children who were receiving antiretroviral treatment were assessed for treatment adherence and virological outcome to compare boosted protease inhibitor-based regimens with nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor-based regimens. Children who were receiving protease inhibitor-based regimens demonstrated higher rates of virological suppression, even with poor treatment adherence (<80%). In children, boosted protease inhibitors seem to be more forgiving of poor adherence than do nonnucleoside reve… Show more

“…viral failure) (Mugavero et al, 2009). General mistrust did not significantly predict adherence at a clinically significant rate of ≥80% (Bangsberg, 2006; Shuter et al, 2007; McNabb et al, 2001; Gulick, 2006; Muller et al, 2009; Kobin and Sheth, 2011) although our analyses may have been limited by our relatively small sample size.…”

“…7,[11][12][13][14]20,[25][26][27][28][29][30] Furthermore, the rate of therapeutic failure appears greater when NNRTI-based regimens are used as a first-line treatment, and then ranges from 20% to 75%, 7,[11][12][13][14]20,25,28,29 compared to when a PI-based regimen is used (range: 26-36%). 26,27 In the series of children reported here, who were prescribed mostly with a first-line ARV treatment, including NNRTI, virological failure was frequently associated with major NNRTI-resistance mutations, whereas no major PI-resistance mutations were observed in children treated by firstline PI therapy. These observations emphasize the possibility of using PI more frequently as a pediatric first-line regimen in Africa.…”
