How HIV Drug Resistance arises Viral factors Viral subtype/clade e.g. NVP resistance in D vs A TAM pathways different in C More K65R s in C etc. Replicative capacity Genetic mutations Patient Factors Poor adherence Stigma Substance abuse ARV treatment access barriers Drugs Low potency Drug-drug interactions Low genetic barrier to resistance Side effects ART Clinic Site Issues Inadequate staffing Poor retention rates Poor support to treatment adherence Delays in switching National ART programme issues Suboptimal drug procurement Poorly managed programmes Limited Human resources Hostile Political climates WHO, Global action plan on HIV drug resistance 2016-2021.

Types of HIV Drug Resistance Transmitted Drug Resistance (TDR) Patients are newly infected with a virus with drug resistant mutations Acquired Drug Resistance (ADR) Patients on ART develop mutations due to errors in viral replication or inadequate ARV pressures etc. Pre-treatment HIVDR (PDR) Detected in ARV naïve patients initiating ART or those with prior ART exposure e.g. sdnvp being reinitiated. Can be TDR,ADR or both WHO, Global action plan on HIV drug resistance 2016-2021. Geneva: World Health Organization; 2017. Licence: CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO, no. February. 2016.
What do we know about HIV DR in Botswana? 2007 TDR rates in Gaborone Botswana; 0/33 = None 2014/2015 TDR Rates in Gaborone Botswana; 6/62=9.7%
Case Report Conducted as part of the Botswana Epidemiological ART Treatment Cohort Study Retrospective chart review September 2003 -August 2017 Genotypic Resistance testing (GRT) at Reverse Transcriptase (RT), Protease and Integrase genes was done as per National ART Guidelines Raw sequences were edited using Sequencher 5.0 Stanford University HIV Drug resistance database used to asses for drug resistance mutations

Discussion Over the course of his treatment, the patient was seen by over 24 Doctors highlighting the critical importance of continuity of care and expertise when managing highly treatment experienced patients received inadequate psycho-social support To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of four-class HIV-1C drug resistance in a patient exposed to DTG cart in SSA
What should we do? Rilpivirine(RPV) based cart remains unattractive because; Patient has prior RAMs to NNRTI s, NRTI s and is not Virologicaly suppressed S. Gallien et al.,. E. Wilson and J. E. Gallant., Etravirine (ETR) has some activity against NNRTI resistant virus with an OBR; But it s a CYP3A4 inhibitor with many contraindications, needs bid dosing, side effects... E. Wilson and J. E. Gallant., Potential benefit from continuation of DTG at bid BUT with optimization of OBR; Viking-3 Benefit from being motivated for Maraviroc ( MVC) with an OBR? data is lacking on an R5-1C virus with an Integrase Q148 + 2 major mutations as in this case MVC is bid Enfuvirtide (T-20) might be a better option; Its Efficacious and durable in Rx experienced Pts with OBR But needs time consuming reconstitution, can cause painful reaction site reactions, its very costly
Challenges MVC, RPV,Etravirine (ETR)and Enfuvirtide (T-20) are not available in the national public ART programme A potential public health concern is the introduction of a multidrug resistant HIV-1C virus into the circulating pool as despite extensive counselling the patient is still condomlessly sexually active with one partner and virologicaly unsuppressed.
Conclusion We need to proactively address the rising levels of resistance to HIV drugs if we are to achieve the global target of ending AIDS by 2030. Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus WHO Director-General http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2017/hiv-drug-resistance/en/ (accessed 22 Oct 2017)
