The PROACTIVE study was a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study of 4,336 (4,147 adults, 189 children) HIV-positive individuals enrolled between January 2018 and June 2020. Participants were observed every six months for up to three years as they received medical care according to the Indonesian HIV/AIDS Treatment Guidelines and/or the standard of care at their local clinic. Additional study-specific testing included CD4+ cell count, HIV plasma viral load, hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, and syphilis antibody. During each study visit, blood samples, extensive demographic information, and clinical data were collected, including medical histories, routine laboratory results, and antiretroviral treatment regimens.
Most adults were between 30 and 39 years old at enrollment (42.6%), were suspected of acquiring HIV by heterosexual transmission (53.3%), had undetectable viral loads (72.4%), and had taken antiretroviral regimens for more than 12 months (66.1%). Limited targeted sequencing of specimens identified CRF01_AE as the dominant circulating strain, as well as a variety of drug resistance mutations, including tenofovir-associated K65R mutations.
