Abstract
Although third-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) is available in South Africa's public sector, its cost is substantially higher than first and second line. Identifying risk factors for failure on second-line treatment remains crucial to reduce the need for third-line drugs. We conducted a case–control study including 194 adult patients (≥18 years; 70 cases and 124 controls) who initiated second-line ART in Johannesburg, South Africa. Unconditional logistic regression was used to assess predictors of virologic failure (defined as 2 consecutive viral load measures ≥1000 copies/mL, ≥3 months after switching to second line). Variables included a social instability index, ART adherence, self-reported as well as diagnosed adverse drug reactions (ADRs), HIV disclosure, depression, and factors affecting access to HIV clinics. Overall 60.0% of cases and 54.0% of controls were female. Mean ages of cases and controls were 41.8 ± 9.6 and 43.3 ± 8.0, respectively. Virologic failure was predicted by ART adherence <90% [odds ratio (OR) 4.7; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 2.1–10.5], younger age (<40 years of age; OR 0.6; 95% CI: 0.3–1.1), high social instability (OR 3.8; 95% CI: 1.30–11.5), self-reported ADR (OR 1.9; 95% CI: 1.0–3.5), disclosure to friends/colleagues rather than partner/relatives (OR 3.4; 95% CI: 1.3–9.1), and medium/high depression compared to low/no depression (OR 4.4; 95% CI: 1.5–13.4). Our results suggest complex socioeconomic factors contributing to risk of virologic failure, possibly by impacting ART adherence, among patients on second-line therapy in South Africa. Identifying patients with possible indicators of nonadherence could facilitate targeted interventions to reduce the risk of second-line treatment failure and mitigate the demand for third-line regimens.

A multi-center analysis found that patients with an adherence index of <80% reported twice higher treatment failure rates compared with those with an adherence index of at least 95%<sup><xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>,<xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref></sup> on second-line therapy. In addition, a study from Malawi also found that patients on second-line therapy who had “ever missed a dose” were less likely to achieve virologic suppression (<400 copies/mL) compared to patients who had never missed a dose.<sup><xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref></sup></p><p>In addition to nonadherence, virologic failure was associated with younger age, social instability, self-reported ADRs, HIV status disclosure to people other than close family members and sexual partner, alcohol consumption, and depression. Younger age, low social support, and internalized HIV stigma have been previously cited as important predictors of ART failure.<sup><xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref></sup> HIV-related stigma could also be a predictor of social instability, nondisclosure, and depression by affecting patients' abilities to access social support (sexual partnerships and supportive home) as well as economic well-being (employability and food security).<sup><xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>,<xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref></sup> While interventions focusing on patients' personal abilities to overcome barriers to adherence have had promising results; continued efforts to normalize HIV are needed and the involvement of social services may be required to support socially unstable patients.<sup><xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>,<xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref></sup></p><p>The risk of virologic failure among those who were employed was slightly lower than among unemployed patients. While transportation cost could be a contributing factor among unemployed patients, among patients who worked all day, inability to secure paid leave for clinic visits and unfavorable clinic operating hours may also hinder regular attendance.</p><p>We also found that self-reported ADRs, but not clinically confirmed ADRs were associated with higher risk of virologic failure. The recording of ADRs is generally poor, with even less data on ADR among patients on second-line ART.<sup><xref rid="B37" ref-type="bibr">37</xref></sup> This could partly explain the disparity between the proportions of patients with clinically diagnosed ADR compared to self-reported data. However, patient complaints of ADR, including low-grade ADRs, could be regarded as important early warning indicators of nonadherence.</p><p>Our findings should be considered within the following limitations. The small sample size and weak statistical power limited our ability to adjust for potential confounders and, therefore, make stronger inferences based on the results, and further studies with larger sample sizes are needed. In addition, unlike controls, cases were asked to recall events that occurred up to 12 months before the interview. Although the date of virologic failure was provided to assist cases with recall, differential recall between cases and controls may have affected our estimates. In addition, patients were aware of their study assignment and health condition that could have affected their responses. Moreover, the study sample was restricted to patients from one large HIV clinic in Johannesburg who spoke and understood English, which may not be representative of patients from other settings. Finally, our cases were not confirmed to have had resistance to second-line therapy, but rather used the definition of failure used in practice based on repeated elevated VL measures.</p><p>Nevertheless, our results highlight the complex interplay between socioeconomic and drug-related factors contributing to ART adherence and subsequent risk of virologic failure among patients on second-line ART in South Africa. Adherence counseling should take into consideration patients' self-reported experiences of ADRs as well as their social circumstances and, whenever possible, include material support and linking to social services. Also, interventions that support easy access to clinics and expedient service among stable patients alongside continued social support programs are needed to improve adherence to second-line ART and curb the need for third-line regimens.</p></sec></body><back><sec id="s013" sec-type="ack"><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>The authors gratefully acknowledge the directors and staff of the Temba Lethu HIV clinic as well as Right to Care, the Non-Governmental Organization supporting the study site through a partnership of the South African National and Gauteng provincial Department of Health with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
