What this trial studies

This observational study involves a cohort-based prospective monitoring of HIV drug resistance as new anti-HIV drugs are introduced in Russia and Ukraine. It collects viral sequences and clinical data to investigate the spread of drug resistance mutations (DRM) and their impact on treatment efficacy. The study aims to explore the temporal dynamics of HIV-1 subtypes and to support the implementation of a pre-treatment drug resistance surveillance plan in accordance with WHO guidelines. Long-term follow-up will help identify changing patterns of pre-treatment drug resistance (PDR).

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of HIV drug resistance and improve treatment strategies for patients in Eastern Europe and Russia.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in monitoring HIV drug resistance, making this approach both relevant and necessary.
