Background: We sought to determine whether pregnant women with HIV prescribed integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) were more likely to have viral suppression at delivery and any increased risk of adverse infant outcomes.

Methods: This was a retrospective, statewide cohort study of women with HIV and their HIV-exposed infants who delivered in South Carolina from 2008 to 2019. Women's antenatal AVRs were classified as INSTI or non-INSTI. We compared the percentage of women with undetectable HIV RNA viral load (<40 copies/mL) at delivery between groups. We compared the percentage of HIV-exposed singleton infants who were born preterm delivery, low birth weight, and small for gestational age and had confirmed perinatal HIV infection. Categorical outcomes were compared using the χ2 test or Fischer exact test.

Results: A total of 832 infants, including 11 sets of twins, were exposed to maternal HIV. Detailed antiretroviral regimens were available for analysis in a third of mother-infant pairs (n = 315). Half of the infants were exposed to INSTI (159) and half to non-INSTI antiretrovirals (156). Most women had an undetectable viral load at delivery (80% INSTI and 73% non-INSTI, P= 0.11). The percentage of singleton infants with adverse outcomes was similar between INSTI and non-INSTI groups: preterm delivery (21% and 16%, P = 0.3), low birth weight (19% and 21%, P = 0.7), small for gestational age (11% vs 9%, P = 0.5), and perinatal HIV infection (2.5% and 1.3%, P = 0.7).

Conclusions: We observed that viral suppression before delivery was similar between pregnant women prescribed INSTI and non-INSTI antiretroviral therapy. The percentage of infants with adverse outcomes was similar when exposed to INSTI and non-INSTI antiretroviral therapy.

Major role of dolutegravir in the emergence of the S147G integrase resistance mutation.

J Antimicrob Chemother

December 2024

Department of Virology, Sorbonne Université, INSERM, UMR-S 1136, Institut Pierre Louis d'Epidémiologie et de Santé Publique, AP-HP, Hôpitaux Universitaires Pitié Salpêtrière - Charles Foix, 83 Boulevard de l'Hôpital 39, F-75013 Paris, France.

Background: The S147G mutation is associated with high-level resistance to the integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) elvitegravir. In several poorly documented cases, it was also selected in patients on dolutegravir. Given the widespread use of dolutegravir, further studies of S147G are required.

Effectiveness of bi-monthly long-acting injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine as maintenance treatment for HIV-1 in the Netherlands: results from the Dutch ATHENA national observational cohort.

Lancet HIV

January 2025

Stichting HIV Monitoring, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Department of Infectious Diseases, Amsterdam Infection & Immunity Institute, Amsterdam University Medical Centre, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Background: Real-world data showing the long-term effectiveness of long-acting injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine are scarce. We assessed the effectiveness of cabotegravir and rilpivirine in all individuals who switched to cabotegravir and rilpivirine in the Netherlands.

Methods: We used data from the ATHENA cohort, an ongoing observational nationwide HIV cohort in the Netherlands.

Dual therapies (DT) combining integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) with second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (2nd-Gen-NNRTIs) offer new possibilities for HIV treatment to improve adherence. However, drug resistance associated mutations (RAMs) to prior antiretrovirals may jeopardize the efficacy of DT. We herein describe the predicted efficacy of DT combining INSTIs + 2nd-Gen-NNRTI following treatment failure among Cameroonian patients.

Human genetic variants can affect TB and HIV drug metabolism, which may lead to toxicity or treatment failure. We evaluated associations between genetic variants of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and HIV-1 outcomes among TB/HIV patients. We included RePORT-Brazil participants with TB/HIV who initiated standard TB treatment [2 months of isoniazid/rifampicin (or rifabutin)/pyrazinamide/ethambutol, then 4 months or more of isoniazid/rifampicin (or rifabutin)], and ART.

Background: The treatment management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-2 infection presents greater challenges compared to HIV-1 infection, primarily because of inherent resistance against non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Integrase strand transfer inhibitors, particularly dolutegravir, have improved treatment outcomes for people with HIV-2. Lenacapavir, a novel and potent antiretroviral capsid inhibitor, offers additional therapeutic options.
