We assessed risk factors for viremia and drug resistance (DR) among long-term recipients of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in South Africa. In 2008, we conducted a cross-sectional study among patients receiving ART for ≥12 months. Genotypic resistance testing was performed on individuals with a viral load >400 RNA copies/ml. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess associations. Of 998 subjects, 75% were women with a median age of 41. Most (64%) had been on treatment for >3 years. The prevalence of viremia was 14% (n=139); 12% (102/883) on first-line (i.e. NNRTI based regimen) and 33% (37/115) on second-line (i.e. PI based regimen) ART. Of viremic patients, 78% had DR mutations. For NRTIs, NNRTIs and PIs the prevalence of mutations was 64%, 81% and 2% among first-line and 29%, 54% and 6% among second-line failures respectively. M184V/I, K103N and V106A/M were the most common mutations. Significant risk factors associated with viremia on first-line included concurrent tuberculosis treatment (OR 6.4, 2.2-18.8, p<0.01) and a recent history of poor adherence (OR 2.7, 1.3-5.6, p=0.01). Among second-line failures, attending a public clinic (OR 4.6, 1.8-11.3, p<0.01) and not having a refrigerator at home (OR 6.7, 1.2-37.5, p=0.03) were risk factors for virological failure. Risk factors for viral failure were line-regimen dependent. Second-line ART recipients had a higher rate of viremia, albeit with infrequent PI DR mutations. Measures to maintain effective virologic suppression should include increased adherence counseling, attention to concomitant tuberculosis treatment and heat-stable formulations of second-line ART regimens.
