We determined pretreatment and acquired human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drug resistance among children with HIV type 1 (HIV-1) in Jos, Nigeria. The majority (71%) of those who failed first-line antiretroviral therapy were on a nevirapine-containing regimen. The prevalence of pretreatment (48%) and acquired (76%) HIV drug resistance mutations was high in our study. Wider access to HIV drug resistance testing after treatment failure is necessary to optimize second-line treatment options among children with HIV in Nigeria.
我们确定了尼日利亚乔斯市1型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)感染儿童的治疗前及获得性人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)耐药情况。一线抗逆转录病毒治疗失败的患者中,大多数(71%)采用了含奈韦拉平的治疗方案。在我们的研究中,治疗前HIV耐药突变的患病率(48%)和获得性HIV耐药突变的患病率(76%)都很高。治疗失败后更广泛地开展HIV耐药检测,对于优化尼日利亚HIV感染儿童的二线治疗方案很有必要。
