Here we explore phenotypic drug resistance in such patients in order to better understand this phenomenon. Patients (n = 71) failing a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based regimen, but who subsequently re-suppressed on the same regimen, were assessed for HIV-1 genotypic drug resistance through Sanger sequencing. A subset (n =23) of these samples, as well as genotypically matched samples from patients who did not re-suppress (n = 19), were further assessed for phenotypic drug resistance in an in vitro single cycle assay. Half of the patients (n = 36/71, 51%) harboured genotypic drug resistance, with M184V(n=18/36,50%)andK103N(n=16/36,44%)being the most prevalent mutations. No significant difference in the median time to re-suppression (31–39 weeks) were observed for either group (p = 0.41). However, re-suppressors with mutant virus rebounded significantly earlier than those with wild-type virus (16 vs. 33 weeks; p = 0.014). Similar phenotypic drug resistance profiles were observed between patients who re-suppressed and patients who failed to re-suppress. While most remained susceptible to stavudine (d4T) and zidovudine (AZT), both groups showed a reduced susceptibility to 3TC and NNRTIs. HIV- 1 infected patients on an NNRTI-based regimen can achieve viral re-suppression on the same regimen despite harbouring viruses with genotypic and phenotypic drug resistance. However, re-suppression was less durable in those with resistance, reinforcing the importance of appropriate regimen choices, ongoing viral load monitoring and adherence counselling.Item HIV1 resupression on a firstline regimen despite the prescence of phenotypic drug resistanceAdriaan Basson; Salome Charalambous; Christopher Hoffmann; Lynn MorrisItem Human resource time commitments and associated costs of Community Caregiver outreach team operations in South Africa(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE) Rachel Mukora; R R Thompson; P Hippner; R Pelusa; M Mothibi; Salome Charalambous; E et alItem Impact of youth lay health workers on HIV service delivery in South Africa A pragmatic cluster randomized trial of the Youth Health Africa program(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE) D Tollefson; S Dasgupta; G Setswe; S Reeves; Salome Charalambous; Ann DuerrItem Its about time they taught us a qualitative study evaluating the barriers to finding and screening child contacts under five at risk for TB in Gauteng Province South Africa from the provider and caregiver perspectives(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD) Fadzai Munedzimwe; Candice Chetty-Makkan; Rachel Mukora; Salome Charalambous; K Turner; Violet ChihotaItem Lung outcomes and related risk factors in patients after SARSCoV2 infection a hospitalised singlecentre cohort from Johannesburg South AfricaN Glover; O Ivanova; F Sathar; F Riess; Colin Menezes; Sarah Van Blydenstein; Ismail Kalla; Salome Charalambous; E et alItem Qualitative study exploring the feasibility of using medication monitors and a differentiated care approach to support adherence among people receiving TB treatment in South Africa(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP) Rachel Mukora; N Maraba; C Orrell; L Jennings; P Naidoo; E et al; Salome Charalambous; Candice Chetty-MakkanItem TB sequel incidence pathogenesis and risk factors of longterm medical and social sequelae of pulmonary TB a study protocolAndrea Rachow; Olena Ivanova; R Wallis; Salome Charalambous; I Jani; Denis Evans; Ian Sanne; Gavin Churchyard; E et alItem Youth Preferences for HIV Testing in South Africa Findings from the Youth Action for Health YA4H Study Using a Discrete Choice ExperimentCandice Chetty-Makkan; C Hoffmann; Salome Charalambous; C Botha; S Ntshuntshe; Nolwazi Nkosi; Hae-Young Kim
