An integrase dimer can process and integrate a single HIV-1 DNA end in vitro, whereas a tetramer is required to integrate two ends. LEDGF/p75 can potently stimulate integrase activity, but its effects on half- versus full-site integration have not been investigated. Stimulation of half-site but inhibition of full-site integration is revealed here. LEDGF/p75 seems to interfere with integrase oligomerization, but does not inhibit the catalytic activity of pre-assembled complexes. We therefore speculate that LEDGF/p75 function is restricted to a point in the viral lifecycle that occurs after the formation of the preintegration synaptic complex, for example, as a chromatin-associated tethering factor.

Indonesia has one of the highest HIV infection rates in Southeast Asia. The use of dolutegravir, an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), as a first-line treatment underscores the need for detailed data on INSTI drug resistance mutations (DRMs). Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive data on DRMs INSTI and other HIV drug resistance in Indonesian patients, both pre- and post-treatment.

Background: Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively inhibits viral replication, it does not fully mitigate the immunosenescence instigated by HIV infection. Cellular metabolism regulates cellular differentiation, survival, and senescence. Serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (SHMT2) is the first key enzyme for the entry of serine into the mitochondria from the de novo synthesis pathway that orchestrates its conversion glutathione (GSH), a key molecule in neutralising ROS and ensuring the stability of the immune system.

In 2023, we published a case study involving a 10-year-old HIV-1-infected child with low-level viremia (LLV). We showed that this child patient achieved successful viral suppression by modifying the antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen according to the HIV-1 DNA genotypic drug resistance testing. In this study, we aimed to address whether HIV-1 DNA genotypic drug resistance testing could direct successfully virological suppression in HIV-1-infected patients experiencing persistent LLV based on evidence from a cohort study.
