Progression of antiretroviral therapy resistance early warning indicator in Burkina Faso between 2014 and 2017.

early warning indicators, resistance to ART, Burkina FasoAbstract
The widespread use of antiretrovirals (ARVs) to people living with HIV (PLHIV) is accompanied by the development of HIV resistance (R-ARV). We determined the performance of three early warning indicators (EWIs) associated with a high risk of R-ARV emergence in Burkina Faso through a repeated cross-sectional study between 2014 and 2017. We analyzed the evolution of the DPIs of R-ARV emergence over this period. These were DPI1 (Timely withdrawal of ARVs), DPI2 (Retention on ARV treatment "TARV" at 12 months) and DPI4 (ARV prescription practices). A total of 27 sites were evaluated. The median number of patients who withdrew ART on time changed from 61% in 2015, 60% in 2016 and 58% in 2017, respectively. No site reached the threshold of at least 95% in the 2014 and 2015 cohorts. The medians of retention on ART at 12 months for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 cohorts were 70%, 69% and 65% respectively. The 12-month ART retention threshold of at least 85% was only reached at two sites. Although ARV prescribing is in line with national guidelines, the quality of care offered to PLHIV regressed from 2014 to 2017 with a high risk of R-ARV emergence. To minimize this risk, therapeutic patient education and the system for tracking lost patients need to be strengthened.
