Abstract
BACKGROUND: HIV populations often diversify in response to selective pressures, such as the immune response and antiretroviral drug use. We analyzed HIV diversity in Black men who have sex with men who were enrolled in the HIV Prevention Trials Network 061 study.Entities:

Fig 1Study cohort.
The high resolution melting (HRM) diversity assay was performed for a subset of men in HPTN 061. Data was analyzed for men who had HRM scores determined for all six regions in the HIV genome (shaded boxes).
Summary of study participants.
| Subset | Total | Age (years) | CD4 cell count (cells/mm3) | HIV viral load (log10) | ARV drug(s) detected | HIV drug resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HIV infected at enrollment | 146 | 39 (28, 45) | 356 (196, 519) | 4.36 (3.75, 4.82) | 48 (33%) | 42 (29%) |
| Acute or recent infection | 16 | 25 (20, 36) | 525 (381, 804) | 4.64 (4.24, 5.29) | 10 (63%) | 4 (25%) |
| Non-recent infection | 130 | 41 (31, 46) | 321 (193, 499) | 4.32 (3.73, 4.81) | 38 (29%) | 38 (29%) |
| HIV seroconverters | 21 | 23 (20, 28) | 576 (324, 707) | 4.90 (4.29, 5.22) | 0 | 5 (24%) |
Abbreviations: ARV: antiretroviral.
a The median (interquartile range) for age, CD4 cell count, and HIV viral load are shown.
b The ARV drug assay was used to detect 15 antiretroviral drugs, including nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), and nine protease inhibitors (PIs, see Methods). NRTIs, NNRTIs, and PIs were detected in 30, 8, and 29 HIV-infected men at enrollment, respectively.
c Resistance to ARV drugs was assessed using the ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping System (see Methods). HIV drug resistance to NRTIs, NNRTIs, and PIs were detected in 20, 35, and 6 HIV-infected men at enrollment, respectively. Four of the seroconverters had HIV resistance to NNRTIs, and one seroconverter had resistance to PIs.
Fig 2HRM scores for men who were HIV infected at enrollment and men who seroconverted during the HPTN 061 study.
Box and whisker plots show the distribution of high resolution melting (HRM) scores for six regions in the HIV genome. Data are shown for men in different subgroups (acute infection at enrollment, recent infection at enrollment, non-recent infection at enrollment; seroconverters; see text). Symbols show the median (inner line), interquartile range (box), lower inner and upper outer fences (whiskers), and outliers (circles) for HRM scores. Univariate median regression analyses were used to compare HRM scores between the indicated groups; p-values for these comparisons are shown (*p<0.05; **p<0.01).

HIV diversification was defined as the change in HRM scores over 12 months. Results were obtained for 62 men in HPTN 061 (see Fig 1). Median regression analysis was used to analyze the association of HIV diversification with various factors. The table shows p-values for these analyses; p-values <0.05 are bolded. Abbreviations: ARV: antiretroviral.
