New treatment strategies in HIV/AIDS infection and the impact of treatment adherence on the quality of life of people living with HIV

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was the assessment of adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) treatment in a population of people living with HIV (PWH), improving the awareness of PWH, drawing attention to the risk of developing HIV drug resistance and subsequent treatment failure. METHODS: The basic cohort consisted of PWH followed up long-term at the HIV centre of the University Hospital Pilsen. Adherence to treatment was assessed by ARV levels. Nucleoside analogs were determined in urine by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), in relation to clinical data, viral load (HIV RNA), and absolute CD4 and CD8 T cell counts. To assess mental and physical state of the patients, a modified SF-36 questionnaire was used to measure social relationships, education and ability to relax. RESULTS: From a group of 131 PWH, 18 (13.7%) with zero levels and 113 (86.3%) with any detectable ARV levels were followed for 6-12 months. A statistically significant lower viral load was demonstrated in patients who adhered to the treatment at the time of the test as indicated by ARV levels in the urine. CD4 T lymphocyte values in adherent patients were, as expected, statistically significantly higher. A significant difference for CD8 T lymphocyte was not demonstrated. A survey assessed subjective factors influencing the degree of adherence. PWH consider important: quality care enabling trust, low risk of developing opportunistic infections, self-sufficiency, quality of sleep, managing leisure activities, and good family relationships. Quality of life evaluation and satisfaction in the monitored areas were similar in both groups of PWH. CONCLUSIONS: Non-adherence leads to deterioration of CD4 and viral load levels and may be the cause of the development of HIV drug resistance and treatment failure on the part of the patient. PWH with zero or low urinary nucleoside levels were repeatedly instructed about the need for regular and sustained medication use. Regular checks with a laboratory examination service are needed to detect early emergence of resistance and side effects of the treatment, which are initially only detectable in the laboratory.
