Abstract:
There is no guideline concerning choice of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV-infected patients after unplanned interruption. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of HIV-infected patients reintroduced to first-line ART after having unplanned interruption for at least 1 month. Viral load was evaluated at 6 to 18 months after the reintroduction. There were 100 patients included in our study, and 55 of them achieved virological success. History of single interruption (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 5.51%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.82-16.68, P = .003) and CD4 count ≥200 cell/mm3 at the time of reintroduction (aOR 4.33, 95% CI 1.14-16.39, P = .031) increased likelihood to achieve virological success.
