Objectiveand population: Characterize virologicand immunologic responses among HIV-1 infected women with acute HIV-1 in pregnancy or postpartum initiating ART Study design and site: Prospective cohort study; Western Kenya Laboratory methods: Serial HIV-1 RNA nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATS); CD4 Statistical methods: Linear mixed effects models to measure changes in HIV-1 RNA • HIV-1 incidence 1.9% (25/1304); incidence rate 2.35 per 100 PY • 12 (48%) infections detected during pregnancy Clinical and virologic characteristics post HIV-1 infection *< 2.17 log10 copies/mL (150 copies/mL)
HIV-1 RNA levels post-ART initiation HIV-1 RNA levels by pregnancy status* -0.62 -0.2 Monthly rate of change** * Among 18 women with ≥2 plasma samples ** Infected during pregnancy vs. infected postpartum; p=0.06 Lower limit of detection • HIV-1 RNA levels ~0.4 log10 higher in acute infection compared to other chronically infected cohorts • ART acceptable, resulted in rapid viral decline • Prompt ART in acute infection important for PMTCT • Long-term follow-up needed to assess durability of viral suppression Conclusions
