Description
Summary:Goal: The goal of this study is to determine the prevalence of therapeutic failure and the evolution of the biological factors after 6 and 12 months of anti‐retroviral treatment (ART) amongst human immunodefeciency virus (HIV) Patients receiving care through the Ambulatory Treatment Center in Nouakchott. Methods: The study presents a descriptive and retrospective analysis of 479 patients enrolled in ART between January 2015 and January 2019, with focus on treatment failures and related biomarkers. The average age of the patients studied was 37 ± 12.94 years. The majority (52.8%) were males, of whom (52.6%) were married. Results: The average body mass index (BMI) of the patients progressively increased after 6 and 12 months on ART. The average BMI increased from 20.3 ± 5.1 kg/m2, before treatment, to 21.7 ± 5.0 kg/m2 and 22.7 ± 5.4 kg/m2, after 6 and 12 months of treatment, respectively. Of the 479 patients, 97.3% were on 2 NRTIs + NNRTI. During the first 6 months of treatment, the clinical, immunological, and virological therapeutic failures were 0.6%, 34.10%, and 9%, respectively. After 6 and 12 months of ART, the TCD4, Hemoglobin, platelets, glycemia, creatinemia, and transaminase remained normal during the entire monitoring period. Conclusion: study demonstrated effective HIV treatment amongst the study patients. It showed clearance of virus and immune restoration can be attained after 6 and 12 months of ART. The number of patients who received the tests did decrease during the treatment period, which highlights the importance of adherence to patient management protocols, including clinical and biological monitoring.
