BACKGROUND: As a consequence of the improved availability of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) in resource-limited countries, an emergence of HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) has been observed. We assessed the prevalence and spectrum of HIVDR in patients with failure of second-line cART at two HIV clinics in central Ethiopia.

METHODS: HIV drug resistance was analysed in HIV-1-infected patients with virological failure of second-line cART using the geno2pheno application.

RESULTS: Among 714 patients receiving second-line cART, 44 (6.2%) fulfilled the criteria for treatment failure and 37 were eligible for study inclusion. Median age was 42 years [interquartile range (IQR): 20-45] and 62.2% were male. At initiation of first-line cART, 23 (62.2%) were WHO stage III, mean CD4 cell count was 170.6 (range: 16-496) cells/µL and median (IQR) HIV-1 viral load was 30 220 (7963-82 598) copies/mL. Most common second-line cART regimens at the time of failure were tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-lamivudine (3TC)-ritonavir-boosted atazanavir (ATV/r) (19/37, 51.4%) and zidovudine (ZDV)-3TC-ATV/r (9/37, 24.3%). Genotypic HIV-1 resistance testing was successful in 35 (94.6%) participants. We found at least one resistance mutation in 80% of patients and 40% carried a protease inhibitor (PI)-associated mutation. Most common mutations were M184V (57.1%), Y188C (25.7%), M46I/L (25.7%) and V82A/M (25.7%). High-level resistance against the PI ATV (10/35, 28.6%) and lopinavir (LPV) (5/35, 14.3%) was reported. As expected, no resistance mutations conferring integrase inhibitor resistance were detected.

CONCLUSIONS: We found a high prevalence of resistance mutations, also against PIs (40%), as the national standard second-line cART components. Resistance testing before switching to second- or third-line cART is warranted.
