Abstract:

The objective of this study was to determine the factors influencing low-level residual replication in patients infected with HIV-1 treated with TLD followed at the Center Polyvalent AL-Nadjma in N’Djamena, Chad. This was a retrospective and prospective study with an analytical aim which took place at the Polyvalent Al-Nadjma center from April 2022 to December 2023 in the city of N’Djamena. The study began with the interview of 135 patients, 108 of whom signed informed consent to participate in this study. Patients infected with HIV 1 on ART based on the combination of Tenofovir, Lamivudine and Dolutegravir (TLD) for at least 2 years with a load of 999 copies/mL were included. A total of 108 plasmas were collected and analyzed by the RT-PCR technique. The data from the interviews as well as the RT-PCR results were analyzed with R Studio software. 70% (76/108) of the participants were female with a M/F sex ratio of 0.42. The average age of the patients was 40.58 ± 9.58 years. Factors influencing residual replication were related to age with a prevalence of 27.27% of patients in the age group of 40 to 50 years, to initial HIV VL with 18.66% in patients who had an initial VL between 40 – 200 copies/ml and 22.22% in those with a baseline VL between 501 - 999 copies/ml, at prior ART, most patients were on prior ART consisting of (Viraday®). A prevalence of 23.95% of low-level residual viremia was observed in these patients and also non-compliance with a prevalence of 7.40% of residual viremia. Thus, it was found that factors influencing residual replication were linked to a higher risk of virological failure and poor immune reconstitution. A better understanding of the influencing factors and adverse effects in various states of residual viremia is expected to provide important guidance for HIV treatment.
