The effect of peer support on virologic and immunologic treatment outcomes among HIVinfected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) was assessed in a cluster randomized controlled trial in Vietnam.
Seventy-one clusters (communes) were randomized in intervention or control, and a total of 640 patients initiating ART were enrolled. The intervention group received peer support with weekly home-visits. Both groups received first-line ART regimens according to the National Treatment Guidelines. Viral load (VL) (ExaVir™ Load) and CD4 counts were analyzed every 6 months. The primary endpoint was virologic failure (VL >1000 copies/ml). Patients were followed up for 24 months. Intention-to-treat analysis was used. Cluster longitudinal and survival analyses were used to study time to virologic failure and CD4 trends.
Of 640 patients, 71% were males, mean age 32 years, 83% started with stavudine/lamivudine/nevirapine regimen. After a mean of 20.8 months, 78% completed the study, and the median CD4 increase was 286 cells/μl. Cumulative virologic failure risk was 7.2%. There was no significant difference between intervention and control groups in risk for and time to virologic failure and in CD4 trends. Risk factors for virologic failure were ART-non-naïve status [aHR 6.9;(95% CI 3.2-14.6); p < 0.01]; baseline VL ≥100,000 copies/ml [aHR 2.3;(95% CI 1.2-4.3); p < 0.05] and incomplete adherence (self-reported missing more than one dose during 24 months) [aHR 3.1;(95% CI 1.1-8.9); p < 0.05]. Risk factors associated with slower increase of CD4 counts were: baseline VL ≥100,000 copies/ml [adj.sq.Coeff (95% CI): -0.9 (-1.5;-0.3); p < 0.01] and baseline CD4 count <100 cells/μl [adj.sq.Coeff (95% CI): -5.7 (-6.3;-5.4); p < 0.01]. Having an HIV-infected family member was also significantly associated with gain in CD4 counts [adj.sq.Coeff (95% CI): 1.3 (0.8;1.9); p < 0.01].
There was a low virologic failure risk during the first 2 years of ART follow-up in a rural low-income setting in Vietnam. Peer support did not show any impact on virologic and immunologic outcomes after 2 years of follow up.

在越南开展的一项整群随机对照试验中,评估了同伴支持对接受抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)的HIV感染患者病毒学和免疫学治疗结局的影响。
71个整群(公社)被随机分为干预组或对照组,共纳入640例开始接受ART治疗的患者。干预组接受同伴支持及每周一次的家访。两组均根据国家治疗指南接受一线ART方案。每6个月分析病毒载量(VL)(ExaVir™ Load)和CD4细胞计数。主要终点为病毒学失败(VL>1000拷贝/ml)。对患者进行24个月的随访。采用意向性分析。使用整群纵向分析和生存分析来研究病毒学失败时间和CD4细胞计数趋势。
640例患者中,71%为男性,平均年龄32岁,83%开始使用司他夫定/拉米夫定/奈韦拉平方案。平均20.8个月后,78%的患者完成研究,CD4细胞计数的中位数增加为286个/μl。累积病毒学失败风险为7.2%。干预组和对照组在病毒学失败风险、病毒学失败时间及CD4细胞计数趋势方面无显著差异。病毒学失败的危险因素为:非初治ART状态[aHR 6.9;(95%CI 3.2 - 14.6);p<0.01];基线VL≥100,000拷贝/ml[aHR 2.3;(95%CI 1.2 - 4.3);p<0.05]以及依从性不完全(自我报告在24个月内漏服超过一剂)[aHR 3.1;(95%CI 1.1 - 8.9);p<0.05]。与CD4细胞计数增加较慢相关的危险因素为:基线VL≥100,000拷贝/ml[调整后平方系数(95%CI):-0.9(-1.5;-0.3);p<0.01]和基线CD4细胞计数<100个/μl[调整后平方系数(95%CI):-5.7(-6.3;-5.4);p<0.01]。有HIV感染家庭成员也与CD4细胞计数增加显著相关[调整后平方系数(95%CI):1.3(0.8;1.9);p<0.01]。
在越南农村低收入地区,ART随访的前2年病毒学失败风险较低。随访2年后,同伴支持对病毒学和免疫学结局未显示出任何影响。
