Virologic Failure Following Low-level Viremia and Viral Blips During Antiretroviral Therapy: Results From a European Multicenter Cohort

Olof Elvstam et al.

Summary: Retrospective analysis of 22,523 people with HIV-1 receiving antiretroviral therapy indicates that both viral blips and low-level viremia of 51 to 199 copies/mL in repeated measurements are independent predictors of subsequent virologic failure.

Low-level viral loads and virological failure in the integrase strand transfer era

Lise Cuzin et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the occurrence of virological failure (VF) in patients starting ART with an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based regimen in recent years and its relationship with previous episodes of low-level viral load (LLVL). The results showed that LLVL was associated with VF, and even in the absence of subsequent failure, LLV episodes have a cost. Therefore, any viral load value above 50 copies/mL should lead to enhanced adherence counseling.

Impact of pre-antiretroviral treatment HIV-RNA on time to successful virological suppression and subsequent virological failure - two nationwide, population-based cohort studies

Erik Sorstedt et al.

Summary: The study found that pre-ART HIV-RNA levels have an impact on the time to successful virological suppression and subsequent failure in HIV patients receiving ART. Patients with pre-ART HIV-RNA levels below 100,000 copies/ml had a higher rate of virological suppression within the first year of ART compared to those with levels above 1,000,000 copies/ml. However, once virological suppression was achieved, pre-ART HIV-RNA levels did not have a significant impact on the risk of virological failure.

Clonally expanded HIV-1 proviruses with 5?-leader defects can give rise to nonsuppressible residual viremia

Jennifer A. White et al.

Summary: This study found that proviruses with 5'-leader defects in CD4+ T cell clones can cause persistent nonsuppressible viremia (NSV) in HIV-1 patients, which may complicate ART management.

Lower Incidence of HIV-1 Blips Observed During Integrase Inhibitor-Based Combination Antiretroviral Therapy

Suzan Dijkstra et al.

Summary: This study compares the occurrence of viral blips in different combination antiretroviral therapy anchors. The results show that INSTI-based regimens have a lower incidence of blips, while protease inhibitor-based regimens have a higher incidence. In addition, blips are associated with factors such as viral load, test frequency, and time since treatment initiation.

Predictors of low-level HIV viraemia and virological failure in the era of integrase inhibitors: A Spanish nationwide cohort

Hortensia Alvarez et al.

Summary: The study identified that baseline HIV-1 RNA > 5 log(10) copies/mL was consistently associated with higher risk of low-level viraemia and virological failure in people living with HIV, even in those receiving integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) based antiretroviral treatment (ART).

Predictors of Virological Failure and Time to Viral Suppression of First-Line Integrase Inhibitor-Based Antiretroviral Treatment

Ashima Pyngottu et al.

Summary: This study examined factors associated with treatment failure in HIV patients on InSTI-based regimens, finding that high baseline viral load and AIDS-defining events were linked to failure. CD4 cell counts between 200-500 and >500 cells/μL were protective. Risk factors for treatment failure were similar to those for older treatments.

Durability of rilpivirine-based versus integrase inhibitor-based regimens in a large cohort of naive HIV-infected patients starting antiretroviral therapy

Roberta Gagliardini et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the durability of treatment with rilpivirine-based and integrase strand transfer inhibitors-based first-line regimens in ART-naive HIV-infected individuals. The results showed a lower risk of treatment failure with RPV-based regimens compared to INSTIs-based regimens, especially when compared to DTG.

HIV-1 viral blips are associated with repeated and increasingly high levels of cell-associated HIV-1 RNA transcriptional activity

Kazuo Suzuki et al.

Summary: A new sensitive assay was used to measure HIV-1 RNA in HIV+ patients, revealing significant transcriptional activity from the viral reservoir during 'blips'. The study suggests that the detection of viral 'blips' reflects higher transcriptional activity and contributes to the reservoir over time, providing valuable information for HIV-1 cure strategies.

Barbara Rossetti et al.

Summary: This large multi-cohort study indicates high effectiveness of elvitegravir- or dolutegravir-based first-line ART in routine practice across Europe. Factors such as baseline viral load and CD4 cell count can affect the treatment outcomes.
