Özet

Background and Objective: Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are currently the standard of practice for first-line HIV therapy for most patients. We evaluated the mutations associated with INSTI resistance in naive HIV-1 infected patients and treated them with antiretrovirals (ART). Methods: The study, conducted in the 2018 - 2020 period, included 50 ART-naive patients, 69 INSTI free ART-experienced patients, and 82 INSTI-experienced patients. INSTI resistance mutations were interpreted using the Stanford University HIVdb Program algorithm. Results: INSTI resistance was not detected in ART naive patients. At least one INSTI resistance mutation was detected in 10% of the INSTI-free patients and 29% of the INSTI-treated patients. Major INSTI-mutations E138K, Y143R, S147G, Q148R, N155H, and E157Q were found in raltegravir. Additional mutations, E92Q, E138K, G140A, S147G, and Q148R were found in elvitegravir; E192Q, E138K/T, G140A/S, S147G, Q148H/R, N155H, E157Q were found in dolutegravir (DTG) experienced patients. According to all drug classes, drug resistance mutation prevalences were determined at the rate of 60%, 46%, and 46% in the RAL, EVG, and DTG groups, respectively. Conclusion: Our findings provide data for treatment and resistance management of INSTIs and may provide feedback for INSTIs resistance surveillance consensus-building efforts. In viral rebound under INSTI treatment, INSTI-resistant mutations follow typical INSTI resistance pathways and high resistance rates. INSTI resistance genotypic analysis should be considered before any DTG-based regimes can be initiated in the future, and reduced DTG susceptibility should be carefully monitored and investigated.
