Article Synopsis
- The study investigated HIV-1 virological failure (VF) and drug resistance (DR) in two urban clinic settings in Senegal, focusing on challenges faced in decentralized ART monitoring in sub-Saharan Africa.
- Out of 278 HIV-1-infected adults on first-line ART, 11.5% experienced VF, with significant drug resistance mutations found in 74.1% of the genotyped viral isolates.
- Key predictors of VF and DR included the decentralized clinic site, low CD4 counts (<350 cells/mm), and the use of nevirapine-based therapies, with a notably higher VF rate observed at the Saint-Louis clinic compared to the Dakar clinic.
