In 2011, Malawi launched Option B+, a program of universal ART treatment for pregnant and lactating women to optimize maternal health and prevent pediatric HIV infection. For optimal outcomes, women need to achieve HIVRNA suppression. We report 6 month HIVRNA suppression and HIV drug resistance in the PURE study. PURE study was a cluster-randomized controlled trial evaluating three strategies for promoting uptake and retention; Arm 1: Standard of Care, Arm 2: Facility Peer Support and Arm 3: Community Peer support. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers were enrolled and followed according to Malawi ART guidelines. Dried blood spots for HIVRNA testing were collected at 6 months. Samples with ART failure (HIVRNA ≥1000 copies/ml) had resistance testing. We calculated odds ratios for ART failure using generalized estimating equations with a logit link and binomial distribution. We enrolled 1269 women across 21 sites in Southern and Central Malawi. Most enrolled while pregnant(86%) and were WHO Stage 1(95%). At 6 months, 950/1269 (75%) were retained; 833/950 (88%) had HIVRNA testing conducted and 699/833(84%) were suppressed. Among those with HIVRNA ≥1000 copies/ml with successful amplification (N=55, 41% of all VL> 1000 copies/ml), confirmed HIV resistance was found in 35% (19/55), primarily to the Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NNRTI) class of drugs. ART failure was associated with treatment default but not study arm, age, WHO stage, or breastfeeding status. Virologic suppression at 6 months was <90% targets, but the observed confirmed resistance rates suggest adherence support should be the primary approach for early failure in Option B+.
