Abstract

The article aims to analyze and evaluate the effect of ARV resistance treatment in An Giang province. A crosssectional study of 126 patients in a total of 217 patients who acquired ARV drug resistance in An Giang province was conducted. The results showed that time from the beginning of ARV treatment to drug resistance for patients in compliance group is longer than patients in non-compliance group (average resistance time for patients in compliance group is 6,03 (years) and for patients in non-compliance group is 2,2 (years)). The CD4 cells increase from 129 cell/mm after resistance treatment (P - value < 0,0001). After receiving ARV drug resistance treatment, patients have virus load from 0 to 200 copies/mL accounted for 93,3% and from 200 to 1000 copies/mL accounted for 6,7%. The patients highly valued the support of the medical center for treatment and health care services. Finally, recommendations for avoiding drug resistance of HIV patients are also presented in this article.
