Background: ART for children in sub-Saharan Africa
2.3 million children with HIV
Treatment coverage estimated at 26% for Africa; 32% for Eastern and Southern Africa

HIVDR: Predisposing factors in children
– Exposure to antiretroviral medication for PMTCT Extended Nevirapine/Zidovudine Single dose nevirapine
• Higher baseline viral loads, longer time to suppression – Inappropriate dosing because of limited paediatric
formulations and weight changes – Limited training of HCW in pediatric management
• Adherence issues Reliance on adult caretakers Poorly palatable formulations (esp. liquids) 3

Pediatric HIVDR: extra challenges
• Life-long treatment with very
limited number of regimens
available
• HIVDR monitoring initiatives in
Africa have limited pediatric
cohorts

Resistance studies in HIV-1-infected paediatric populations over time including naive and pretreated
patients
Rojas Sánchez P , and Holguín A J. Antimicrob. Chemother. 2014;jac.dku104
Although majority of HIV infected children live in Sub Saharan Africa, HIVDR data in children only available in 11 (20.7%) of the 53 African countries

HIVDR after treatment
• Monitoring initiatives in Africa have limited pediatric cohorts and mainly small numbers
– Published data • Uganda(4), Mozambique (2), Camerron, Senegal, Kenya (2), South
Africa, Ivory Coast, Malawi and Mali
• High proportion of children with drug-resistant HIV-1 infections after first-line ART failure in resource-limited settings (Sigaloff, Lancet Inf Dis 2011)
– Prevalence rates – very variable • NRTI – 0-100%, NNRTI – 0-100%, PI – 0-37%, NRTI & NNRTI – 0-100%
• NNRTI resistance most common: K103N, Y181C • NRTI: M184V en TAMs • PI: only in certain regions (South America, South Africa)

Monitoring Emerging HIVDR and Associated Factors in Sentinel ART Sites • Cohorts of approximately 130 ART-naive individuals
beginning ART followed for 12 months
• Baseline assessment of HIVDR: Genotyping, ARV history
• 12-month assessment of HIVDR:
– Status (lost to follow-up, stop, switch, still on first-line ART)
– Viral load + genotyping at 12 months if still on first-line ART, or at regimen switch

Single-dose NVP
When prophylaxis fails, NNRTI resistance in up to 60% of infants < 6m (Hunt, AIDS 2011)
Children with NVP exposure are less likely to achieve virological suppression on NNRTI-based regimens (Musiime AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses 2009)

Treatment after PMTCT
• Virological failure after 24 weeks of AZT, 3TC, LPV/r vs. AZT,
3TC, NVP: 21.7% vs. 39.6%
(Palumbo, N Eng J Med 2010)
• Baseline resistance to nevirapine was predictive of treatment
failure
• Protease inhibitor preferred to nevirapine in children with
exposure to single dose nevirapine

Conclusions
• Important barriers to care remain for children, accounting for< 35% ART coverage in most African regions
• Even among reportedly ARV-naïve children, drug-resistant virus was present in 8% (MARCH)
• Besides PMTCT exposure, maternal ART use and breastfeeding may be important risk factors for baseline HIVDR
• The PMTCT practices of the last decade (non-use of Maternal HAART) have contributed to early virologic failure. The use of Maternal HAART scale up needs to be monitored for pediatric HIVDR

Conclusions
• Extensive resistance at switch (46% multiple TAMs) due to delayed switching fear of exhausting treatment options in children?
• These high HIVDR rates necessitate continued national surveillance programs to monitor trends. Affordable viral load & drug resistance testing and improved access to alternative combinations of ARVs are urgently needed
