Abstract
The global HIV epidemic remains a major public health challenge, with DTG playing a key role in ART regimens due to its efficacy and tolerability. This study evaluated virological outcomes and resistance mutations in patients on DTG in Mozambique through a retrospective cohort study in seven DREAM centers. Data from 29,601 patients (98.1% on DTG) revealed a virological suppression rate of 95% (27,622/29,051). Factors positively associated with suppression included age > 50, longer ART duration, and being female. Of 17 resistance tests, 8 showed major mutations, including G118R and E138K. Results highlight DTG's effectiveness and the need for resistance surveillance.
期刊介绍:
AIDS Research and Therapy publishes articles on basic science, translational, clinical, social, epidemiological, behavioral and educational sciences articles focused on the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS, and the search for the cure. The Journal publishes articles on novel and developing treatment strategies for AIDS as well as on the outcomes of established treatment strategies. Original research articles on animal models that form an essential part of the AIDS treatment research are also considered
