To evaluate the clinical impact and cost-effectiveness of HLA-B*5701 testing to guide selection of first-line HIV regimens in the United States. Cost-effectiveness analysis using a simulation model of HIV disease. The prevalence of HLA-B*5701 and the probabilities of confirmed and unconfirmed severe systemic hypersensitivity reaction (HSR) among patients taking abacavir testing HLA-B*5701 positive and negative were from the PREDICT-1 trial. The monthly costs of abacavir and tenofovir-based regimens were $1,135 and $1,139; similar virologic efficacy was assumed and this assumption was varied in sensitivity analysis. Simulated cohort of patients initiating HIV therapy. 1) first-line abacavir, lamivudine, and efavirenz without pre-treatment HLA-B*5701 testing; 2) the same regimen with HLA-B*5701 testing; 3) first-line tenofovir, emtricitabine, and efavirenz. Quality-adjusted life expectancy (QALYs) and lifetime medical costs discounted at 3% p.a., cost-effectiveness ratios ($/QALY). Abacavir-based treatment without HLA-B*5701 testing resulted in a projected 30.93 years life expectancy, 16.23 discounted QALYs, and $472,200 discounted lifetime cost per person. HLA-B*5701 testing added 0.04 quality-adjusted months at an incremental cost of $110, resulting in a cost-effectiveness ratio of $36,700/QALY compared to no testing. Initiating treatment with a tenofovir-based regimen increased costs without improving QALYs. HLA-B*5701 testing remained the preferred strategy only if abacavir-based treatment had equal efficacy and cost less per month than tenofovir-based treatment. Results were also sensitive to the cost of HLA-B*5701 testing and the prevalence of HLA*B5701. Pharmacogenetic testing for HLA-B*5701 is cost-effective only if abacavir-based treatment is as effective and costs less than tenofovir-based treatment.
