INTRODUCTION: Proviral HIV DNA integrated within CD4 T-cells maintains an archive of viral variants that replicate during the course of the infection, including variants with reduced drug susceptibility. We considered studies that investigated archived drug resistance, with a focus on virologically suppressed patients and highlighted interpretative caveats and gaps in knowledge. RESULTS: Either Sanger or deep sequencing can be used to investigate resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) in HIV DNA recovered from peripheral blood. Neither technique is free of limitations. Furthermore, evidence regarding the establishment, maintenance, expression and clinical significance of archived drug-resistant variants is conflicting. This in part reflects the complexity of the HIV proviral landscape and its dynamics during therapy. Clinically, detection of RAMs in cellular HIV DNA has a variable impact on treatment outcomes, modulated by the drugs affected, treatment duration and additional determinants of virological failure, including those leading to suboptimal drug exposure. CONCLUSIONS: Sequencing cellular HIV DNA can provide helpful complementary information in treatment-experienced patients with suppressed plasma HIV RNA who require a change of regimen. However, care should be taken when interpreting the results. Presence of RAMs is not necessarily a barrier to treatment success. Conversely, even the most sensitive sequencing techniques will fail to provide a comprehensive view of the HIV DNA archive. To inform treatment decisions appropriately, the overall clinical and treatment history of a patient must always be considered alongside the results of resistance testing. Prospective controlled studies are needed to validate the utility of drug resistance testing using cellular HIV DNA.
