HIV Highlights of the 43rd ICAAC New Data on: • Predictors of HIV disease progression • Drug resistance and HIV transmission • Treatment interruption • Clinical trials data on nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) • Clinical trials data on protease inhibitors (PIs) • Clinical trials data on entry inhibitors
Predictors of HIV ProgressionEffect of Replication Capacity (RC) and Coreceptor Tropism (CRT) • Cohort of 207 hemophiliac pediatric patients minimally treatedor untreated, followed 1989-90 to 1997 • Evaluated for HIV-1 RNA, CD4+ cell count, RC, and CRT • Presence of X4 (vs R5) virus strongly associated with lower CD4+ cell count (450 vs 158), higher viral load (4.1 vs 3.6 log), and higher RC (109 vs 83%) • In multivariate analysis, increased RC and presence of X4 virus were independently associated with more rapid decline in CD4 + cell counts and progression to AIDS Abstract H-1772c
Reduced Transmission of HIV Containing M184V or Protease Inhibitor Mutations • Retrospective review of 163 newly infected patients compared with 552 chronically infected (the “transmitting” population) • Genotypic analysis of M184V, TAMs, NNRTI, and PI mutations, or combinations in each group • Prevalence of mutations: M184VTAMSNNRTI New 0.6% 3% 3.6% Chronic 7.7% 3% 4.8% Relative risk .08 1 .75 • Relative risk of transmission of PI mutation-containing virus also lower • Median viral load: TAM/NNRTI > PI > M184V • Decreased relative risk of transmission may be related to lower viral loads, decreased fitness, or other factors Abstract H-815
Treatment Interruptions“BASTA” • Treatment discontinuation for patients with CD4+ cell count > 800 cells/mcL • Restart for decrease to < 400 • 114 patients: CD4+ cell count > 800 cells/mcL, HIV RNA < 50 (on treatment) • Randomized 2:1 to stop treatment or continue • 18-month follow-up • 21% of patients in STI arm restarted meds (1 patient twice) • All had rapid increase in CD4+ cellcounts on restart • STI patients spent 12.1% of time on meds • Nadir CD4+ cell count only predictor of rate of decline of CD4 cells • Nadir T-cell countTime to restart < 200 6.9 mo 200-350 14.1 mo 350-500 17.8 mo > 500 No restarts Abstract H-448
