Risk of Replication of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) of >400 Copies/mL by Average Percent and Patterns of Adherence

Variable HIV controla (n = 56) HIV replication (n = 16) ORb (95% CI) P
Adherence rate,c mean ± SD, % 89.2 (11.6) 36.8 (19.4) 0.27 (0.14–0.53) <.001
No. of days without dose,d mean ± SD 8 (10) 38 (27) 1.08 (1.04–1.12) <.001
No. of TIs,e mean ± SD 3.2 (5.1) 11.7 (5.8) 1.24 (1.09–1.39) .001
Duration of longer TIs, mean ± SD, days 4.9 (5.6) 20.0 (14.9) 1.22 (1.10–1.36) .002

NOTE. CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; SD, standard deviation; TIs, treatment interruptions.

a

HIV RNA level of <400 copies/mL at the end of adherence monitoring; results were similar with an HIV RNA level of <50 copies/mL.

b

Computed by use of logistic regression. An OR of >1 means an increased probability of HIV replication.

c

OR and 95% CI are provided for a 10% increase in adherence rate.

d

Defined as discontinuation of drugs for >24 h and <48 h.

e

Defined as discontinuation of drugs for >48 h.
