Objective. To carry out the molecular-genetic analysis of HIV-1 variants circulated in Kyrgyzstan in 2017–2018 among patients with failure of antiretroviral therapy.
Materials and methods. Рlasma samples (n = 100) was collected, HIV-1 pol-gene nucleotide sequences were studied, the subtype of the virus in the samples was determined, as well as the structure and level of drug resistance of HIV-1.
Results. It was determinate the domination of HIV-1 recombinant variant CRF63_02A1 (in 56% of samples) and sub-subtype A6 ((in 56% of samples) in Kyrgyzstan. At the same time, there were revealed the cases of infection with a rare genetic form of HIV-1, close to CRF94_cpx and CRF95_02B. It was found a high frequency of resistance mutations to drugs included in the main treatment regimens used in the country: to EFV and NVP (in 48 and 50% of samples, respectively) and to FTC and 3TC (in 39% of samples).
Conclusion. The high drug resistance frequency to the main ART regimen drugs in patients with high treatment adherence indicates the need for further drug resistance monitoring in the country, including among patients without treatment experience and who are just starting it.
