The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of oral levofloxacin in human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients in steady-state treatment with nelfinavir (NFV) or with efavirenz (EFV) and to determine the effects of levofloxacin on the PK parameters of these two antiretroviral agents. For levofloxacin, plasma samples were obtained at steady state during a 24-h dosing interval. Plasma NFV and EFV concentrations were evaluated before and after 4 days of levofloxacin treatment. Levofloxacin PK do not seem affected by NFV and EFV. There was no significant difference between NFV and EFV plasma levels obtained with and without levofloxacin.

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of antiretroviral drugs requires accurate and precise analysis of their trace amounts in plasma samples. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic drop (DLLME-SFO) was introduced as a simple and sensitive method for extraction, pre-concentration and simultaneous determination of efavirenz (EFV), nelfinavir (NFV) and nevirapine (NVP) in human plasma and pharmaceutical formulations by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection. A response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) was used for optimizing the main variables in the extraction procedure.

To understand the prevalence of drug resistance in treatment-naive HIV infected men who have sex with (MSM) in Guangzhou. HIV-1 RNA were extracted from the serum specimens of the MSM newly confirmed to be HIV-1 positive, living in Guangzhou and receiving no anti-viral therapy from 2008 to 2015. HIV-1 gene segments, including full protease and part reverse transcriptase, were amplified by nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (nested-PCR) and sequenced by Sanger.

Resistance to antiretroviral drugs can complicate the management of HIV-1 infection and impair control of its spread. The aim of the current study was to investigate the prevalence and transmission of HIV-1 drug resistance among 106 antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve patients diagnosed in Iceland (1996-2012). HIV-1 polymerase sequences were analysed using the Calibrated Population Resistance tool.

Background: We have previously reported in Xishuangbanna (Banna) Dai Autonomous Prefecture, a well-developed tourist destination in the southwest border of China, that HIV-1 transmitted dominantly through heterosexual contact with less divergent genotypes and few drug resistant mutations. Due to the rapid increase of newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases per year in Banna in recent years, it's important to evaluate the evolution of HIV-1 molecular epidemiology for the better understanding of ongoing HIV-1 outbreak in this region.
Methodology/principal Findings: By sequencing of HIV-1 pol genes and phylogenetic analysis, we conducted a molecular epidemiologic study in 352 HIV-1-seropositive highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART)-naïve individuals newly diagnosed at the Banna Center for Disease Control and Prevention between 2009 and 2011.

Cellular efflux and uptake transports of several anti-HIV agents are mediated by plasma membrane-localized solute transporters. However, transporters involved in raltegravir disposition have not been fully characterized. Here, we performed in vitro studies to identify transporters mediating transcellular transport of raltegravir.
