2013 Update: DHHS Guidelines on ART for
HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents
 ART is recommended for all HIV-infected, ART-naive pts to reduce
risk of disease progression and transmission
– Strength of recommendation varies by CD4+ cell count and risk group
(perinatal, heterosexual, other)
– Pts should be ready to commit to ART and understand benefits and risks
of therapy and importance of adherence; individual pts may elect to defer
ART
 Regarding alternative regimens for ART-naive patients
– RPV-based regimens recommended alternatives only for patients with
baseline HIV-1 RNA ≤ 100,000 copies/mL
– Fixed-dose EVG/COBI/TDF/FTC recommended for patients with CrCl >
70 mL/min
– 3-NRTI regimens no longer recommended
DHHS Guidelines. February 2013.

2013 Update: DHHS Guidelines on ART for
HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents
 Pts failing INSTI-based regimens should undergo genotypic
assay for INSTI resistance to determine future utility of class
 Genotypic tropism assay now available as potential alternative
test prior to initiating CCR5 antagonist regimens
 Patients with early infection should be offered ART
– “Early” HIV infection now refers to acute (after infection, prior to
seroconversion) and recent (< 6 mos) infections
 EFV may be continued in pregnant women with virologic
suppression
 New data on roles/mechanisms of RTV and COBI as
pharmacokinetic enhancers
DHHS Guidelines. February 2013.

Very Early Triple-Drug ART Elicits
“Functional Cure” in HIV-Infected Child
 Infant born to untreated HIV-infected mother at 35 wks’
gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery[1]
– Maternal HIV infection identified during labor via ELISA and
Western blot
– Infant HIV infection confirmed via HIV-1 DNA PCR, HIV-1 RNA
analysis of 2 separate samples at 30 and 31 hrs of age[2]
– ZDV/3TC + NVP (at therapeutic dose) initiated at 31 hrs of age,
continued for 7 days
– ZDV/3TC + LPV/RTV continued from 7 days to 18 mos of age
– HIV-1 RNA undetectable by Day 30
– Mother removed patient from care at 18 mos of age
1. Persaud D, et al. CROI 2013. Abstract 48LB. 2. DHHS Pediatric Guidelines. 2012.

“Functional Cure” Child: Standard HIV-1
Assays Undetectable to Age 26 Mos
 Assessments at Mos 24 and 26
– Western blot negative
– No HIV-specific CD8+ or CD4+
T-cell responses
– Standard HIV-1 RNA and HIV-1
DNA undetectable
– By ultrasensitive assays
– Mo 24: HIV-1 RNA 1 c/mL;
HIV-1 DNA < 2.7 c/million
PBMCs
– Mo 26: HIV-1 DNA 4 c/million
PBMCs
 Clinical trials of exposed infants
treated with ART recommended
Persaud D, et al. CROI 2013. Abstract 48LB.
 ART regimens: ZDV/3TC + NVP
(31 hours – 7 days)
 ZDV/3TC + LPV/RTV (7 days –
18 months)
 Plasma VL on ART displayed
typical biphasic decay from
baseline VL 19,812 c/mL
– VL undetectable by < 30d of
age
– VL remained undetectable
though > 80d of age

Early Treatment of Pts With Acute HIV
Infection Restricts Seeding of Reservoirs
 RV254/SEARCH 010: ongoing, prospective, open-label study of subjects
seeking voluntary HIV testing (n = 75 with Fiebig stage I-III acute infection)
 Before ART, HIV reservoir seeding limited
– Integrated HIV-1 DNA undetectable in PBMCs (92%) and sigmoid colon (88%) of
most Fiebig I pts
– Lower infection frequencies of central memory CD4+ T cells vs other memory cells
 After ART, decline in HIV reservoir size
– Integrated HIV-1 DNA undetectable
in PBMCs in 90% of pts at 1 yr
– Reservoir primarily in transitional
and effector memory CD4+ T cells
 Suggests very early ART may
prevent seeding of reservoirs
Fiebig Stages
Fiebig I: RNA+, p24 neg, 3rd-gen ELISA neg̶
– Would not be detected by 4th-gen ELISA
Fiebig II: RNA+, p24+, 3rd-gen ELISA neg
Fiebig III: 3rd-gen ELISA+, WB neg
Ananworanich J, et al. CROI 2013. Abstract 47.

Vorinostat Activates HIV Transcription in
Latently Infected CD4+ T Cells
 Vorinostat investigated as possible
strategy to eliminate latent HIV
infection in pts on stable ART
– Histone deacetylase inhibitor
approved for cutaneous T-cell
lymphoma
– Single dose ↑ HIV-1 RNA
expression in resting memory
CD4+ cells of HIV-infected patients
– Activation may result in elimination
of latently infected T cells
 Current study is a single-arm trial of
vorinostat 400 mg QD for 14 days
(N = 20) in pts on stable ART,
CD4+ count > 500 cells/mm3
 18/20 pts had significant increase in
cell-associated unspliced HIV-1
RNA on ≥ 2 occasions while on
drug
– Mean 2.65-fold increase
 All AEs mild (grade 1/2)
– Most common: diarrhea, lethargy,
thrombocytopenia, dysgeusia
 No significant changes in HIV-1
DNA in PBMCs or rectal tissue
– Suggests vorinostat alone not likely
to eliminate latent infected cells

 Phase IIB placebo-controlled trial of > 5000 women in South Africa, Uganda,
and Zimbabwe of daily oral TDF, daily oral TDF/FTC, daily vaginal TFV 1% gel
as PrEP
– DSMB stopped daily oral TDF arm in September 2011 and daily vaginal gel arm in

VOICE: Lack of Detectable TFV in Plasma;
High Rate of Infection in Younger Women
 Despite high self-reported
adherence, < 40% of women
had detectable plasma TFV at
first study visit
 TFV detected in mean of ≤ 30%
of samples in each arm
– ≥ 50% of women in each arm
had no TFV detected in any
sample
 TFV detection less likely if
unmarried, younger than 25 yrs,
partner younger than 28 yrs
– Highest rates of HIV acquisition
in unmarried, younger than
25 yrs

Additional Data on PrEP
 GSK1265744, dolutegravir analogue packaged in nanoparticles
(GSK744LAP), permitting monthly or quarterly dosing in humans by IM
injection
– 8/8 macaques injected with GSK744LAP and rectally challenged with SHIV
protected from infection; 8/8 controls became infected (P < .0001)[1]
 Intravaginal rings containing TDF protected against SHIV infection in 6/6
macaques; 11/12 controls became infected (P < .0004)[2]
 Among iPrEX participants stopping PrEP before entry into open-label
extension (iPrEX OLE), incidence of HIV similar among participants originally
on TDF/FTC PrEP and those originally on placebo (P = .43)[3]
– Similarities indicate that although high-risk behaviors continued, there was lack of
compensatory increase in high-risk behavior after PrEP discontinued
– HIV incidence after stopping PrEP remained high

resistance on DTG
– < 2-fold change in IC50 for
both DTG and RAL
– Y143, Q148, and/or N155 at VF
in 9 RAL pts; consistent with
previous studies
– High-level resistance to RAL
 Both regimens well tolerated
with similar AE profiles

Dolutegravir Efficacy in Phase III Studies
in ART-Naive Pts: Subgroup Analyses
 Retrospective analysis of phase III trials in treatment-naive pts[1]
– SPRING-2[2]
: DTG noninferior to RAL at Wk 48, each combined
with investigator-selected NRTIs (TDF/FTC or ABC/3TC)
– SINGLE[3]
: DTG + ABC/3TC superior to TDF/FTC/EFV at Wk 48
 In both trials, activity of DTG-based regimens similar in
subgroup analyses by HIV risk factor, baseline HIV-1 RNA,
CD4+ cell count, sex, age, race
 In SINGLE, higher rates of HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL with
DTG-based therapy across patient subgroups
 In both trials, no apparent subgroup differences in AEs or
discontinuations

ART Initiation Associated With Better
Retention in Care in Zambia
 National ART program at 18
primary care sites in urban Zambia
– ART started when CD4+ cell count
< 200 cells/mm³ or WHO stage IV
or WHO stage III and CD4+ cell
count < 350 cells/mm3
– “Immediate” initiation defined as
within 180 days of eligibility; lost to
follow-up (LTFU) as ≥ 60 days late
 ART started by 75% of 6419
eligible pts with CD4+ 175-225
cells/mm³ and WHO Stage I-II
disease
 Proportion lost to follow-up greater
in those who delayed ART vs those
who started ART immediately,
P < .001
 Pts who started therapy 4x more
likely to be retained in care

Trends in Genotypic Drug Resistance
 Among 1484 ART-naive pts in HOPS cohort, GT testing rate increased from
20.8% in 1999-2002 to 62.8% in 2009-2011[1]
– > 1/3 still not tested in most recent period
 No statistically significant increase in transmitted resistance from 1999-2011
– Increased frequency of resistance in black, Hispanic, pts with CD4+ > 500 cells/mm3
 17.5% of pts had any major IAS-USA mutation in 2009-2011 (similar to CDC
analysis)[2]
– Rates of class resistance: NRTI 10.8%; NNRTI 6.6%; PI 1.8%
 Separate study showed major INSTI mutations in 1/5 of pts tested since
availability of INSTI GT assay[3]
 Additional study showed low rates of DRV resistance among all isolates tested
that declined over time[4]

ART and Birth Defects in ANRS French
Perinatal Cohort
 French national prospective
multicenter cohort studying PMTCT
strategies in HIV-positive women[1]
– N = 17,000 (~ 70% of HIV-positive
women in France)
– 13,124 live births exposed to ART
in utero
 In EFV first trimester-exposed
infants, ↑ risk for neurologic (but
not neural tube) defects but not for
overall birth defects
 In ZDV first-trimester-exposed
infants, ↑ risk for both overall birth
defects and heart defects
 Findings inconsistent with meta-
analysis of studies of EFV use[2]
in
pregnancy and data from the US
Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry[3]
– Both indicate no ↑ risk of birth
defect with EFV; APR shows no ↑
risk with ZDV
