Abstract
Previously, we reported a T69S insertion in the circulating recombinant form 06_cpx in a patient infected with HIV-1 during the perinatal period. Through this study, we found that the T69S insertion in our previous report was actually an S68S insertion. The patient was treated with zidovudine and didanosine, followed by combination antiretroviral therapy. The introduction of Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) completely suppressed plasma viral RNA to <20 copies/mL and reverted the S68S insertion to wild-type; there was no evidence of an S68S insertion for 3 years. Here, we report the impact of integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) treatment on drug resistance mutations (DRMs) over a further 10 years. The S68S insertion disappeared after 3 months of INSTI therapy, and the number of DRMs decreased. There were no major DRMs to INSTI in either the patient or her parents. These data highlight the utility of combination therapy with INSTI and KRG.
期刊介绍:
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses was the very first AIDS publication in the field over 30 years ago, and today it is still the critical resource advancing research in retroviruses, including AIDS. The Journal provides the broadest coverage from molecular biology to clinical studies and outcomes research, focusing on developments in prevention science, novel therapeutics, and immune-restorative approaches. Cutting-edge papers on the latest progress and research advances through clinical trials and examination of targeted antiretroviral agents lead to improvements in translational medicine for optimal treatment outcomes.
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses coverage includes:
HIV cure research
HIV prevention science
- Vaccine research
- Systemic and Topical PreP
Molecular and cell biology of HIV and SIV
Developments in HIV pathogenesis and comorbidities
Molecular biology, immunology, and epidemiology of HTLV
Pharmacology of HIV therapy
Social and behavioral science
Rapid publication of emerging sequence information.
