Abstract

Objective: To survey the prevalence of drug resistant HIV-1 in Shandong province in 2013-2015. Methods: WHO truncated sequential sampling technique was adopted by using 77 and 53 samples of newly diagnosed as HIV-1 positive and aged 16-25 years in Shandong province in 2013 and 2015. RNA was prepared and HIV-1 pol region was amplified by RT-PCR and nested PCR. Pol genetic mutation associated with drug resistance was analyzed. Results: The success rates for sequence acquisition of the survey were 100% (77/77) and 94% (50/53) in 2013 and 2015, and the main subtype was CRF01_AE. A total of 2 surveillance drug-resistance mutation(SDRMs) and 3 SDRMs were found by analyzing the 47 sequences each year, sampled in 2013 and 2015, indicating that the prevalence of drug resistant HIV-1 stains was low in 2013, and moderate in 2015. A total of 5 individuals with drug resistant HIV-1 stains found in this study were mainly infected by homosexual transmission (3 cases), and the other two samples were different: one was infected by heterosexual transmission, the other was infected by IDU. The subtype was CRF01_AE (2 cases) , CRF07_BC (2 cases) and B (1 case) . SDRMs for protease inhibitor (PIs), nucleotide HIV-reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTIs) and non-NRTI (NNRTIs) were all found in the individuals with drug resistant HIV-1 stains. Conclusion: CRF01_AE were the main HIV-1 subtypes of recently reported HIV-infected individuals in Shandong province, and the HIV-1 drug resistant strains transmission was catalogued as at low and moderate prevalence level in 2013 and 2015.

目的: 调查山东省2013—2015年新发现未治疗HIV-1感染者耐药毒株传播警戒线。 方法: 按照《全国艾滋病病毒耐药性监测指南》中耐药警戒线调查的要求,以2013和2015年新报告的年龄为16~25岁的HIV-1感染者为调查对象,抽取4~8 ml静脉血,用EDTA抗凝,立即混匀,颠倒8~10次,24 h内取0.5 ml全血标本进行CD(4+)T淋巴细胞计数,并提取HIV-1病毒RNA。采用RT-PCR和巢氏PCR方法扩增HIV-1的pol区蛋白酶(PR)和逆转录酶(RT)基因区,PCR扩增产物经电泳并纯化后进行测序。根据WHO的HIV-1耐药警戒线调查方案,采用二项顺序抽样法进行抽样,最大样本量随着抽样和检测的进展而确定,按年度分别将获得有效序列的样本按确证时间先后进行排序,并结合"HIV-1耐药警戒线监测抽样表"进行耐药株传播水平分析。 结果: 2013和2015年调查人数分别为77和53例,调查对象的序列成功获得率分别为100%(77/77)、94%(50/53),亚型均以CRF01_AE为主,分别为53.2%(41/77)、68.0%(34/50)。2次调查分别抽取了47个样本序列,其中发现2份和3份样本存在监测性耐药突变,对应的HIV-1耐药株传播水平分别为低流行(4.3%)和中流行(6.4%)。5例耐药个体的感染方式主要为同性传播(3例)、异性传播(1例)和静脉吸毒传播(1例),亚型分别为CRF01_AE(2例)、CRF07_BC(2例)和B(1例)。5例耐药个体中有1例出现了对蛋白酶抑制剂(PIs)类药物的耐药突变、3例出现了对核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂(NRTIs)、2例出现了对非核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂(NNRTIs)、1例出现了同时对NRTIs、NNRTIs类药物的耐药突变。 结论: 山东省新报告未治疗的HIV-1感染者亚型以CRF01_AE为主,出现了对3类艾滋病抗病毒药物的耐药毒株,耐药传播处于低、中度流行水平,应引起高度重视。.
