ABSTRACT: Objective
Concentrations of tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) and lamivudine triphosphate (3TC-TP) in cells are correlates of medication adherence and antiviral activity. However, studies have yet to characterize the simultaneous relationship between TFV-DP and 3TC-TP concentrations with HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) suppression.Methods
Individuals with HIV/HBV coinfection on tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-containing antiretroviral therapy (ART) were enrolled. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and dried blood spots (DBS) samples were collected and steady-state TFV-DP and 3TC-TP concentrations quantified using validated methods. The relationship between patient factors, TFV-DP, and 3TC-TP concentrations in PBMCs and DBS with HBV and HIV viral suppression were examined.Results
Of 138 participants on TDF-containing ART for a median duration (range) of 6 (0.75-15) years, the median age was 43 years and 64% were women. Overall, 128 (92.8%) and 129 (93.5%) had suppressed HIV and HBV viral loads, respectively. Of the 128 participants with suppressed HIV, 122 (95.3%) had suppressed HBV. Self-reported ART adherence, recent change to dolutegravir-based ART, TFV-DP, and 3TC-TP concentrations in PBMCs and DBS were associated with HIV RNA suppression, while HBe antigen positivity, HIV suppression, and TFV-DP concentrations in DBS were associated with HBV DNA suppression (including six persons with HBV nonsuppression and HIV suppression).Conclusion
Long-term TDF/3TC-conatining ART was highly efficacious in individuals with HIV/HBV coinfection. Higher TFV-DP concentrations were predictive of suppression for both viruses. Persistent HBV viremia on TDF/3TC-containg ART requires additional research, but may represent poor adherence and the need for adherence interventions or novel antivirals.
