Abstract
Immunoblots remain the gold standard for HIV-1/HIV-2 infection confirmation. However, their ability to differentiate HIV-1 from HIV-2 infection on an antigenically diversified HIV-1 and HIV-2 panel remain uncommon. We performed a multicenter study on 116 serum samples accounting for most of the diversity of HIV-1 (9 different subtypes in group M, 17 circulating recombinant forms (CRFs), and 3 group O) and HIV-2 (groups A and B), evaluating seven confirmatory assays (six commercially available assays and one in-house assay) with genotyping as the reference. The assays were INNO-LIA HIV I/II score, HIV-2 blot 1.2, HIV blot 2.2, New Lav blot I and II, Geenius, and an in-house serotyping enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Among the HIV-1 samples, INNO-LIA, HIV blot 2.2, New Lav blot I, Geenius, and serotyping had comparable high sensitivities, from 98% to 100%, whereas HIV-2 blot 1.2 and New Lav blot II had high rates of "undetermined" results (85% and 95%, respectively). HIV-2 blot 1.2 and New Lav blot II misclassified 7% and 5% of HIV-1 samples as HIV-2, respectively, and HIV-2 blot 1.2 had an 8% false-negative rate. Among the HIV-2 samples, INNO-LIA, New Lav blot II, HIV-2 blot 1.2, and serotyping had high sensitivities, from 96% to 100%. HIV blot 2.2 misclassified 17% of HIV-2 samples as HIV-1/HIV-2 dual infections. New Lav blot I misclassified 19% of HIV-2 samples as HIV-1 with a high (81%) undetermined rate, and Geenius misclassified 2% as HIV-1 and 7% as untypeable HIV positive. For HIV-1/HIV-2 dual infection, the results were less sensitive, with at most 87.5% for INNO-LIA and Geenius and 75% for HIV blot 2.2 and serotyping. Overall, confirmatory assays remain useful for most cases, with the exception of HIV-1/HIV-2 dual-infection suspicion.

High Instantaneous Inhibitory Potential of Bictegravir and the New Spiro-β-Lactam BSS-730A for HIV-2 Isolates from RAL-Naïve and RAL-Failing Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214300. [PMID: 36430777 PMCID: PMC9695772 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232214300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Integrase inhibitors (INIs) are an important class of drugs for treating HIV-2 infection, given the limited number of drugs active against this virus. While the clinical efficacy of raltegravir and dolutegravir is well established, the clinical efficacy of bictegravir for treating HIV-2 infected patients has not been determined. Little information is available regarding the activity of bictegravir against HIV-2 isolates from patients failing raltegravir-based therapy. In this study, we examined the phenotypic and matched genotypic susceptibility of HIV-2 primary isolates from raltegravir-naïve and raltegravir-failing patients to raltegravir, dolutegravir, and bictegravir, and to the new spiro-β-lactam BSS-730A. The instantaneous inhibitory potential (IIP) was calculated to help predict the clinical activity of bictegravir and BSS-730A. Isolates from raltegravir-naïve patients were highly sensitive to all INIs and BSS-730A. Combined integrase mutations E92A and Q148K conferred high-level resistance to raltegravir, and E92Q and T97A conferred resistance to raltegravir and dolutegravir. The antiviral activity of bictegravir and BSS-730A was not affected by these mutations. BSS-730A displayed strong antiviral synergism with raltegravir. Mean IIP values at Cmax were similar for all INIs and were not significantly affected by resistance mutations. IIP values were significantly higher for BSS-730A than for INIs. The high IIP values of bictegravir and BSS-730A for raltegravir-naïve and raltegravir-resistant HIV-2 isolates highlight their potential value for treating HIV-2 infection. Overall, the results are consistent with the high clinical efficacy of raltegravir and dolutegravir for HIV-2 infection and suggest a promising clinical profile for bictegravir and BSS-730A.

HIV / AIDS as a model for emerging infectious disease: origin, dating and circumstances of an emblematic epidemiological success. Presse Med 2022; 51:104128.

Abstract
In June 1981, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) "Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report" described the first cases of what was to be known as the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Two years later, the agent responsible for the disease, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), was identified. Since then, according to the World Health Organization an estimated 40 million people have died from the disease. Where does this virus come from, and why such an emergence in the late 20th century? These are the questions that it is now possible to answer in large part thanks to the numerous studies published over a little more than three decades. As with other emerging infectious diseases, initial cross-species transmission from an animal reservoir and subsequent favorable sociological factors associated with the evolution of human societies have led to the spread of a dramatic disease, for which no vaccine is presently available.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe lymphoma in HIV-2-infected patients and compare their characteristics with lymphoma in HIV-1-infected patients. DESIGN Ancillary analysis from a single center prospective cohort of HIV-lymphoma. METHODS We report on 16 patients with HIV-2-lymphoma diagnosed after 1996 and included in a prospective cohort of HIV lymphoma. Five additional HIV-2-infected patients coinfected with HIV-1 or/and HTLV-I (6 lymphomas) are separately reported. The incidence of lymphoma in HIV-2-infected patients was evaluated in the French multicentric HIV-2 cohort. RESULTS Incidence of lymphoma in the French HIV-2 cohort was estimated as 0.6/1000 patient-years. In our series, the median CD4+ cell count was 166 × 106/l at the time of lymphoma diagnosis and 50% of patients had undetectable plasma HIV-2-RNA. Lymphomas were non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 12) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 4). Similarly to HIV-1-lymphoma, clinical presentation was aggressive in most cases. All but one patient received intensive chemotherapy. Complete remission was achieved in 13 cases and 1 patient relapsed. The overall survival was not statistically different from that observed in patients with HIV-1 lymphoma. The six additional lymphomas observed in five HIV-2-infected patients coinfected with HIV-1 or/and HTLV-I presented with similar clinical presentation but worse prognosis. CONCLUSION Despite the lower pathogenicity of HIV-2, the risk of developing lymphoma seems to be close to that observed in HIV-1 population with similar lymphoma characteristics. Compared with HIV-1, HIV-2-infected patients developed lymphoma later in their life but at a similar CD4+ cell count level.

Abstract
A detailed computational study was performed to investigate the conformational changes of flap region and the mechanism underlying the binding of the inhibitor TMC-126 to HIV-1 protease (PR1) and its mutant variants through molecular dynamics simulations in conjunction with the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann (MM-PBSA) free energy calculation. Further, we have studied the effectiveness of the inhibitor against HIV-2 protease (PR2). The MM-PBSA calculation suggests that TMC-126 loses its potency against mutant variants and PR2 compared to wild-type PR1 mainly due to the loss in intermolecular electrostatic interactions. The potency of the inhibitor decreases in the order: wild type PR1 > M46L > MDR20 > I50V > PR2 > V32I > A28S. Our study reveals that the flap of PR1 adopts a semi-open conformation due to the mutation I50V or MDR20. The dissimilar nature of the movement of the flap tip of both monomers is evident from the dynamic cross-correlation map. The protein structural network analysis displays that mutation causes structural rearrangements and changes the communication path between residues. Overall, we believe our study may help explore and accelerate the development of novel HIV-1/HIV-2 protease inhibitors with better potency.

Abstract
Background To obtain reliable clinical data of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 group O (HIV-1/O) infection, and immunovirological responses to combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), in a large series of 101 patients. Methods Piecewise linear models were used to estimate CD4 count before and after cART initiation. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate time to reach clinical stage C before antiretroviral therapy (ART) and to analyze time to achieve a plasma viral load (pVL) <40 copies/mL following cART initiation. Immunovirological response was assessed at the most recent visit in patients on active follow-up. Results Data showed a 16.6% cumulative probability of reaching stage C within 5 years following diagnosis, and a mean CD4 decrease of -30.5 cells/μL/year. cART initiation in ART-naive patients led to a mean CD4 gain of 147 cells/μL after 12 months, and to a median pVL of <40 copies/mL after 3.8 months for 89.3%. Initiation with a nonrecommended nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-based vs a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor-based regimen resulted in a much smaller gain of around 100 CD4 cells/μL after 1 year. Patients on follow-up since 2007 had a median CD4 count of 498 cells/μL, and 87% had a pVL <40 copies/mL at the most recent follow-up visit. Conclusions This work provides unique data on HIV-1/O infection, in favor of a milder natural evolution than HIV-1 group M (HIV-1/M) and of a highly efficient current management, based on HIV-1/M guidelines, despite genetic divergence. Studies of comparable HIV-1/M and HIV-1/O populations are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
In this study, the differences of binding patterns between two type HIV (HIV-1 and HIV-2) protease and two inhibitors (darunavir and amprenavir) are analyzed and compared using the newly developed interaction entropy (IE) method for the entropy change calculation combined with the polarized force field. The functional role of protonation states in the two HIV-2 complexes is investigated and our study finds that the protonated OD1 atom of Asp25' in B chain is the optimal choice. Those calculated binding free energies obtained from the polarized force field combined with IE method are significantly consistent with the experimental observed. The bridging water W301 is favorable to the binding of HIV-1 complexes; however, it is unfavorable to the HIV-2 complexes in current study. The volume of pocket, B-factor of Cα atoms and the distance of flap tip in HIV-2 complexes are smaller than that of HIV-1 consistently. These changes may cause localized rearrangement of residues lining their surface and finally result in the different binding mode for the two types HIV. Predicated hot-spot residues (Ala28/Ala28', Ile50/Ile50', and Ile84/Ile84') are nearly same in the four systems. However, the contribution to the free energy of Asp30 residue is more favorable in HIV-1 system than in HIV-2 system. Current study, to some extent, reveals the origin for the decrease in binding affinity of inhibitors against HIV-2 compared with HIV-1 and will provides theoretical guidance for future design of potent dual inhibitors targeting two type HIV protease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The broad genetic divergence of HIV-1/O relative to HIV-1/M has important implications for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment. Despite this divergence, some HIV-1/M+O dual infections and HIV-1/MO recombinant forms have been reported, mostly in Cameroon, where both groups are prevalent. Here, we describe the characteristics of such infections detected in France in 10 new patients, and discuss their implications for biological and clinical practice, owing to the presence of group O species. METHODS The French National Reference Centre for HIV received samples within the framework of mandatory notification of HIV infections, and for expert analysis. A strategy combining serotyping, viral quantification, group-specific molecular amplification and whole-genome sequencing was used for strain characterization and complementary investigations. RESULTS We identified one patient with M+O infection, three patients with M+O infection associated with an MO recombinant, and six patients with only an MO recombinant. These atypical infections were detected upon strain characterization (n = 4) or because of anomalies during patient monitoring (n = 6). We identified eight new URF_MO, all but one originating from Cameroon. Interestingly, two distinct recombinant strains were found in two unrelated patients, representing possible precursors of a CRF_MO. CONCLUSION Our work highlights the fact that the continuous evolution of HIV can hinder diagnosis and complicate clinical practice. We stress that unexpected results during diagnosis or monitoring necessitate further serological and molecular exploration, these atypical infections influence biological and therapeutic management and necessitate appropriate tools, and specific surveillance is necessary, especially as the frequency of such infections may be underestimated.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) has already spread to different regions worldwide, and currently about 1 to 2 million people have been infected, calling for new antiviral agents that are effective on both HIV-1 and HIV-2 isolates. T20 (enfuvirtide), a 36-mer peptide derived from the C-terminal heptad repeat region (CHR) of gp41, is the only clinically approved HIV-1 fusion inhibitor, but it easily induces drug resistance and is not active on HIV-2. In this study, we first demonstrated that the M-T hook structure was also vital to enhancing the binding stability and inhibitory activity of diverse CHR-based peptide inhibitors. We then designed a novel short peptide (23-mer), termed 2P23, by introducing the M-T hook structure, HIV-2 sequences, and salt bridge-forming residues. Promisingly, 2P23 was a highly stable helical peptide with high binding to the surrogate targets derived from HIV-1, HIV-2, and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). Consistent with this, 2P23 exhibited potent activity in inhibiting diverse subtypes of HIV-1 isolates, T20-resistant HIV-1 mutants, and a panel of primary HIV-2 isolates, HIV-2 mutants, and SIV isolates. Therefore, we conclude that 2P23 has high potential to be further developed for clinical use, and it is also an ideal tool for exploring the mechanisms of HIV-1/2- and SIV-mediated membrane fusion. IMPORTANCE The peptide drug T20 is the only approved HIV-1 fusion inhibitor, but it is not active on HIV-2 isolates, which have currently infected 1 to 2 million people and continue to spread worldwide. Recent studies have demonstrated that the M-T hook structure can greatly enhance the binding and antiviral activities of gp41 CHR-derived inhibitors, especially for short peptides that are otherwise inactive. By combining the hook structure, HIV-2 sequence, and salt bridge-based strategies, the short peptide 2P23 has been successfully designed. 2P23 exhibits prominent advantages over many other peptide fusion inhibitors, including its potent and broad activity on HIV-1, HIV-2, and even SIV isolates, its stability as a helical, oligomeric peptide, and its high binding to diverse targets. The small size of 2P23 would benefit its synthesis and significantly reduce production cost. Therefore, 2P23 is an ideal candidate for further development, and it also provides a novel tool for studying HIV-1/2- and SIV-mediated cell fusion.

Abstract
Data regarding the efficacy of Rapid HIV tests (RHTs) in detecting non-B subtype HIV-1 are limited. We evaluated the sensitivity of the INSTI® test for the detection of HIV-1 antibodies for the diagnosis of HIV-1 non-B subtypes and recombinant variants. We identified adults with HIV-1 infection due to non-B subtypes and recombinant variants. The participants were re-tested with INSTI® test. We included 258 patients. Overall, the INSTI® test sensitivity was 98.4% (95%CI: 96.9-99.9%). For the major CRF_02AG subtype, the sensitivity was 99.0% (95%CI: 97.1-100%). The HIV INSTI® test is reliable for the detection of various non-B HIV-1 antibodies.

Abstract
HIV-1 is the most prevalent retrovirus, with over 30 million people infected worldwide. Nevertheless, infection caused by other human retroviruses like HIV-2, HTLV-1, HTLV-2, HTLV-3 and HTLV-4 is gaining importance. Initially confined to specific geographical areas, HIV-2, HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 are becoming a major concern in non-endemic countries due to international migration flows. Clinical manifestations of retroviruses range from asymptomatic carriers to life-threatening conditions, such as AIDS in HIV-2 infection or adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia or tropical spastic paraparesis in HTLV-1 infection. HIV-2 is naturally resistant to some antiretrovirals frequently used to treat HIV-1 infection, but it does have effective antiretroviral therapy options. Unfortunately, HTLV still has limited therapeutic options. In this article, we will review the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, pathogenic and therapeutic aspects of infections caused by these human retroviruses.

Abstract
Major differences exist between HIV-1 and HIV-2 in terms of epidemiology, pathogenicity, sensitivity to antiretrovirals. Determining the type of HIV infecting a patient is essential for management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of simple/rapid tests to differentiate between HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infections. We analyzed 116 samples from patients infected with HIV-1 (n = 61), HIV-2 (n = 47), or HIV-1+HIV-2 (n = 8) at the chronic stage of infection. Each sample was tested with SD Bioline HIV-1/2 3.0, ImmunoFlow HIV1-HIV2, ImmunoFlow HIV1-HIV2 (WB), Genie III HIV-1/HIV-2, ImmunoComb HIV1&2 BiSpot. HIV-1, or HIV-2 single infection was identified with a sensitivity ranging from 90% to 100%. The ability to detect dual infection was less sensitive (12.5-100%). SD Bioline HIV-1/2 3.0, ImmunoFlow HIV1-HIV2, and Genie III were unable to detect HIV-1 group O infection in one, one and two cases, respectively. The specificity of detection of HIV-1, HIV-2, or HIV-1+HIV-2 antibodies differed greatly (36-100%). ImmunoComb BiSpot had the highest sensitivity values (99-100% for HIV-1, 98% for HIV-2, and 75-87.5% for dual infection) and specificity values (94-100% for HIV-1, 100% for HIV-2, and 97-100% for dual infection). In conclusion, this study showed that no single rapid test had a perfect sensitivity/specificity ratio, particularly in the case of the double infections.

Dolutegravir in HIV-2-Infected Patients With Resistant Virus to First-line Integrase Inhibitors From the French Named Patient Program. Clin Infect Dis 2015; 60:1521-7. [PMID: 25690598 DOI: 10.1093/cid/civ124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2014] [Accepted: 02/09/2015] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dolutegravir has shown in vitro activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2). We report safety and efficacy data of regimens containing dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) in antiretroviral-experienced, HIV-2-infected patients. METHODS HIV-2-infected patients experiencing virological failure to raltegravir received dolutegravir with optimized background antiretroviral combinations within the French Named Patient Program (NPP). Plasma HIV-2 RNA (pVL) was assessed at time of dolutegravir initiation (baseline), month 3, and month 6. Antiretroviral trough plasma concentrations (C12h) were determined using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS Thirteen HIV-2-infected-patients, with a median duration of 15 years' infection and given 16 previous antiretroviral regimens, were included in NPP. Median follow-up was 9 months (min-max, 3-15 months). Median baseline pVL and CD4 cell count were 9544 copies/mL (inter quartile range [IQR], 3096-23 120 copies/mL) and 100 cells/µL (IQR, 77-171 cells/µL), respectively. Available integrase genotypic resistance patterns were Y143C/G/H/R (n = 5), Q148R/K (n = 2), and N155H (n = 4). Optimized background antiretroviral regimens conferring a genotypic sensitivity score ≤2 in 10 patients included nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors associated with darunavir/ritonavir (n = 12), saquinavir/ritonavir (n = 2), and maraviroc (n = 3). At months 3 and 6, pVL was undetectable in 6 of 13 and 4 of 12 patients, respectively, and median CD4 count was 161 (101-188) cells/µL and 167 (135-1353) cells/µL, respectively. Median dolutegravir C12h was 4086 (1756-5717 ng/mL) ng/mL in 9 patients. No serious events were notified except 1 death from progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy at month 4. CONCLUSIONS Optimized dolutegravir-containing antiretroviral regimens supported by good plasma exposure provide a substantial initial efficacy rate for salvage therapy in heavily antiretroviral-experienced HIV-2-infected patients with virus harboring resistance to first-generation integrase inhibitors. Larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease is a homodimeric aspartyl protease that is crucial for the viral life-cycle, cleaving proviral polyproteins, hence creating mature protein components that are required for the formation of an infectious virus. With diagnostic measures and clinically used protease inhibitors focusing on HIV-1, due to its higher virulence and prevalence, studies of the efficacy of those inhibitors on HIV-2 protease remain widely lacking. Utilizing a wild-type HIV-2 vector backbone and cloning techniques we have developed a cassette system where the efficacy of clinically used protease inhibitors can be studied for various serotypes of HIV-2 protease both in enzymatic and cell culture assays. In our experiments, optimization of the expression protocol led to a relatively stable enzyme, for cell culture assays, the efficiency of transfection and transduction capability of the modified vector was tested and was not found to differ from that of the wild-type, moreover, a 2nd generation protease inhibitor was used to demonstrate the usefulness of the system. The combination of assays performed with our cassette system is expected to provide an accurate measure of the efficacy of currently used; as well as experimental protease inhibitors on HIV-2.

Abstract
Clinical inhibitors Darunavir (DRV) and Amprenavir (APV) are less effective on HIV-2 protease (PR2) than on HIV-1 protease (PR1). To identify molecular basis associated with the lower inhibition, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) calculations were performed to investigate the effectiveness of the PR1 inhibitors DRV and APV against PR1/PR2. The rank of predicted binding free energies agrees with the experimental determined one. Moreover, our results show that two inhibitors bind less strongly to PR2 than to PR1, again in agreement with the experimental findings. The decrease in binding free energies for PR2 relative to PR1 is found to arise from the reduction of the van der Waals interactions induced by the structural adjustment of the triple mutant V32I, I47V and V82I. This result is further supported by the difference between the van der Waals interactions of inhibitors with each residue in PR2 and in PR1. The results from the principle component analysis suggest that inhibitor binding tends to make the flaps of PR2 close and the one of PR1 open. We expect that this study can theoretically provide significant guidance and dynamics information for the design of potent dual inhibitors targeting PR1/PR2.

Abstract
We analyzed genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among 124 HIV-1 and 19 HIV-2 strains in sera collected in 1986 from patients of the state hospital in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Phylogenetic analysis of the HIV-1 env gp41 region of 65 sequences characterized 37 (56.9%) as CRF06_cpx strains, 25 (38.5%) as CRF02_AG, 2 (3.1%) as CRF09_cpx, and 1 (1.5%) as subtype A. Similarly, phylogenetic analysis of the protease (PR) gene region of 73 sequences identified 52 (71.2%) as CRF06_cpx, 15 (20.5%) as CRF02_AG, 5 (6.8%) as subtype A, and 1 (1.4%) was a unique strain that clustered along the B/D lineage but basal to the node connecting the two lineages. HIV-2 PR or integrase (INT) groups A (n = 17 [89.5%]) and B (n = 2 [10.5%]) were found in both monotypic (n = 11) and heterotypic HIV-1/HIV-2 (n = 8) infections, with few HIV-2 group B infections. Based on limited available sampling, evidence suggests two recombinant viruses, CRF06_cpx and CRF02_AG, appear to have driven the beginning of the mid-1980s HIV-1 epidemic in Burkina Faso.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The first case of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) seropositivity in Austria was confirmed in 1993 in a dually human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)- and HIV-2-infected patient from Ghana, who died in 2001. Before this investigation, no further HIV-2 infection was published. METHODS The aim of this study was to describe HIV-2 epidemiology in Austria, using serological and molecular techniques, and to perform a sequence analysis of the circulating viral strains. RESULTS Six additional cases of HIV-2 were identified from 2000 to 2009. All patients originated from high-prevalence areas. In one patient, the HIV-2 infection was revealed 11 years after initial HIV-1 diagnosis, and further analysis confirmed a dual infection. CONCLUSION The HIV-2 epidemic has its epicentre in West Africa, but sociocultural issues, especially migration, are contributing to the low but continuous worldwide spread of HIV-2. Diagnosis of HIV-2 implies a different therapeutical management to avoid treatment failure and clinical progression. Differential diagnosis of HIV-1 and HIV-2 is complicated due to antibody cross-reactivity, and paradoxical findings (e.g. declining CD4 cell count despite HIV-1 suppression) may require careful reassessment, especially in patients from endemic countries.

Abstract
The AIDS pandemic that started in the early 1980s is due to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group M (HIV-M), but apart from this major group, many divergent variants have been described (HIV-1 groups N, O, and P and HIV-2). The four HIV-1 groups arose from independent cross-species transmission of the simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) SIVcpz, infecting chimpanzees, and SIVgor, infecting gorillas. This, together with human adaptation, accounts for their genomic, phylogenetic, and virological specificities. Nevertheless, the natural course of non-M HIV infection seems similar to that of HIV-M. The virological monitoring of infected patients is now possible with commercial kits, but their therapeutic management remains complex. All non-M variants were principally described for patients linked to Cameroon, where HIV-O accounts for 1% of all HIV infections; only 15 cases of HIV-N infection and 2 HIV-P infections have been reported. Despite improvements in our knowledge, many fascinating questions remain concerning the origin, genetic evolution, and slow spread of these variants. Other variants may already exist or may arise in the future, calling for close surveillance. This review provides a comprehensive, up-to-date summary of the current knowledge on these pathogens, including the historical background of their discovery; the latest advances in the comprehension of their origin and spread; and clinical, therapeutic, and laboratory aspects that may be useful for the management and the treatment of patients infected with these divergent viruses.

Abstract
One to two million people worldwide are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2), with highest prevalences in West African countries, but also present in Western Europe, Asia and North America. Compared to HIV-1, HIV-2 infection undergoes a longer asymptomatic phase and progresses to AIDS more slowly. In addition, HIV-2 shows lower transmission rates, probably due to its lower viremia in infected individuals. There is limited experience in the treatment of HIV-2 infection and several antiretroviral drugs used to fight HIV-1 are not effective against HIV-2. Effective drugs against HIV-2 include nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (e.g. zidovudine, tenofovir, lamivudine, emtricitabine, abacavir, stavudine and didanosine), protease inhibitors (saquinavir, lopinavir and darunavir), and integrase inhibitors (raltegravir, elvitegravir and dolutegravir). Maraviroc, a CCR5 antagonist blocking coreceptor binding during HIV entry, is active in vitro against CCR5-tropic HIV-2 but more studies are needed to validate its use in therapeutic treatments against HIV-2 infection. HIV-2 strains are naturally resistant to a few antiretroviral drugs developed to suppress HIV-1 propagation such as nonnucleoside RT inhibitors, several protease inhibitors and the fusion inhibitor enfuvirtide. Resistance selection in HIV-2 appears to be faster than in HIV-1. In this scenario, the development of novel drugs specific for HIV-2 is an important priority. In this review, we discuss current anti-HIV-2 therapies and mutational pathways leading to drug resistance.

Abstract
In recent years, the increase of migration from countries where human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) is endemic to industrialized countries has facilitated the spread of the virus in individuals previously unexposed to this threat. In this report, we performed a phylogenetic analysis on pol and env sequences of HIV-2 strains identified in foreigners and native citizens to trace the origin of infection. All but one of the 17 pol gene sequences were classified as group A. HIV-2 strains were aggregated in several clusters depending by the country of origin and/or infection. One patient (1AA) was classified as being infected with a recombinant between HIV-2 group A and HIV-2 group B, because the pol gene sequence was clearly in the group A, but an env V3 region sequence from this patient was more similar to group B viruses. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the surveillance and use adequate molecular virological tools to diagnose and monitor HIV-2 infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE HIV-1 has been classified into four groups: M, N, O and P. The aim of this study was to revisit the cross-group neutralization using a highly diverse panel of primary isolates. DESIGN The panel of viruses included nine HIV-1 group O primary isolates, one recombinant M/O primary isolate, one group N primary isolates, one group P primary isolate, two group M (subtype B) primary isolates and the HIV-1 group M adapted strain MN. METHODS All the viruses were tested for neutralization in TZM-bl cells, using sera issued from patients infected by viruses of group M (n = 11), O (n = 12) and P (n = 1), and a panel of nine human monoclonal broadly neutralizing antibodies (HuMo bNAbs). RESULTS Although the primary isolates displayed a wide spectrum of sensitivity to neutralization by the human sera, cross-group neutralization was clearly observed. In contrast, the bNAbs did not show any cross-group neutralization, except PG9 and PG16. Interestingly, the group N prototype strain YBF30 was highly sensitive to neutralization by PG9 (IC50: 0.28 μg/ml) and PG16 (IC50: < 0.12 μg/ml). The interaction between PG9 and key residues of YBF30 was confirmed by molecular modeling. CONCLUSION The conservation of the PG9 and PG16 epitopes within groups M and N provides an argument for their relevance as components of a potentially efficient HIV vaccine immunogen.

Abstract
Clinical inhibitor amprenavir (APV) is less effective on HIV-2 protease (PR₂) than on HIV-1 protease (PR₁). We solved the crystal structure of PR₂ with APV at 1.5 Å resolution to identify structural changes associated with the lowered inhibition. Furthermore, we analyzed the PR₁ mutant (PR(1M) ) with substitutions V32I, I47V, and V82I that mimic the inhibitor binding site of PR₂. PR(1M) more closely resembled PR₂ than PR₁ in catalytic efficiency on four substrate peptides and inhibition by APV, whereas few differences were seen for two other substrates and inhibition by saquinavir (SQV) and darunavir (DRV). High resolution crystal structures of PR(1M) with APV, DRV, and SQV were compared with available PR₁ and PR₂ complexes. Val/Ile32 and Ile/Val47 showed compensating interactions with SQV in PR(1M) and PR₁, however, Ile82 interacted with a second SQV bound in an extension of the active site cavity of PR(1M). Residues 32 and 82 maintained similar interactions with DRV and APV in all the enzymes, whereas Val47 and Ile47 had opposing effects in the two subunits. Significantly diminished interactions were seen for the aniline of APV bound in PR₁ (M) and PR₂ relative to the strong hydrogen bonds observed in PR₁, consistent with 15- and 19-fold weaker inhibition, respectively. Overall, PR(1M) partially replicates the specificity of PR₂ and gives insight into drug resistant mutations at residues 32, 47, and 82. Moreover, this analysis provides a structural explanation for the weaker antiviral effects of APV on HIV-2.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2), originally restricted to Western Africa, is now spreading to Western European countries because of migration from endemic areas. Therefore, it is mandatory to enforce the surveillance and improve the diagnostics of this neglected infection. In this report, we describe a case of HIV-2 infection affecting an Italian citizen along with three cases from India. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the viral strain identified in the Italian patient clustered with a strain isolated from an immigrant living in France. Of the three Indian strains, two clustered together and were statistically supported, whereas one clustered with a strain from Guinea Bissau. The description of the first case of HIV-2 infection in an Italian citizen indicates that the virus is spreading from endemic areas to countries involved in migration. A strict monitoring and improvement of the diagnostic molecular tools are necessary to avoid misdiagnosis with relevant clinical consequences.

Abstract
Infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) occurs mainly in West Africa, but an increasing number of cases have been recognized in Europe, India, and the United States. In this era of global integration, clinicians must be aware of when to consider the diagnosis of HIV-2 infection and how to test for this virus. Although there is debate regarding when therapy should be initiated and which regimen should be chosen, recent trials have provided important information on treatment options for HIV-2 infection. In this review, we present information on recent clinical advances in our understanding of HIV-2 infection and highlight remaining diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Impact of HIV-1 group O genetic diversity on genotypic resistance interpretation by algorithms designed for HIV-1 group M. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 2011; 56:139-45.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HIV-1 group O (HIV-O) is characterized by a high genetic divergence from HIV-1 group M viruses. Little is known about the therapeutic impact of this diversity. The aim of this study was to assess in a large series of samples (1) the genotypic impact of natural polymorphism of the HIV-O reverse transcriptase and protease genes; and (2) the predictive value of resistance interpretation algorithms developed for HIV-1 group M when used for highly mutated HIV-O viruses. METHODS Sixty-eight antiretroviral-naive and 9 highly antiretroviral-experienced HIV-O-infected patients were included. The viruses were sequenced and resistance-associated mutations were identified using 3 different algorithms (Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le SIDA et les hépatites virales, Rega, Stanford). RESULTS All HIV-O samples naturally exhibited the A98G and V179E resistance mutations in the reverse transcriptase region; 54% of samples presented the Y181C mutation, conferring resistance to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Twelve minor resistance mutations, present in more than 75% of the protease sequences, led to the different algorithms giving discrepant results for nelfinavir and saquinavir susceptibility. A marked virological response was observed in 8 of the 9 antiretroviral-experienced patients, despite the prediction of limited activity of the combination for 5 to 8 patients according to the algorithm used. CONCLUSIONS The high level of natural polymorphism in HIV-O genes, and the important discrepancies between genotypic resistance interpretation and the virological response, emphasize the need for resistance algorithm rules better adapted to HIV-O.

Abstract
Background Health authorities in several countries recently recommended the expansion of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody testing, including the use of rapid tests. Several HIV rapid tests are now licensed in Europe but their sensitivity on total blood and/or oral fluid in routine healthcare settings is not known. Methods and Findings 200 adults with documented HIV-1 (n = 194) or HIV-2 infection (n = 6) were prospectively screened with five HIV rapid tests using either oral fluid (OF) or finger-stick whole blood (FSB). The OraQuick Advance rapid HIV1/2® was first applied to OF and then to FSB, while the other tests were applied to FSB, in the following order: Vikia HIV 1/2®, Determine HIV 1–2®, Determine® HIV-1/2 Ag/Ab Combo® and INSTI HIV-1/HIV-2®. Tests negative on FSB were repeated on paired serum samples. Twenty randomly selected HIV-seronegative subjects served as controls, and the results were read blindly. Most patients had HIV-1 subtype B infection (63.3%) and most were on antiretroviral therapy (68.5%). Sensitivity was 86.5%, 94.5%, 98.5%, 94.9%, 95.8% and 99% respectively, with OraQuick OF, OraQuick FSB, Vikia, Determine, Determine Ag/Ab Combo and INSTI (p<0.0001). OraQuick was less sensitive on OF than on FSB (p = 0.008). Among the six patients with three or more negative tests, two had recent HIV infection and four patients on antiretroviral therapy had undetectable plasma viral load. When patients positive in all the tests were compared with patients who had at least one negative test, only a plasma HIV RNA level <200 cp/ml was significantly associated with a false-negative result (p = 0.009). When the 33 rapid tests negative on FSB were repeated on serum, all but six (5 negative with OraQuick, 1 with INSTI) were positive. The sensitivity of OraQuick, Determine and Determine Ag/Ab Combo was significantly better on serum than on FSB (97.5%, p = 0.04; 100%, p = 0.004; and 100%, p = 0.02, respectively). Conclusion When evaluated in a healthcare setting, rapid HIV tests were less sensitive on oral fluid than on finger-stick whole blood and less sensitive on finger-stick whole blood than on serum.

Abstract
The ability to detect HIV-2 and to discriminate between HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections was evaluated in 46 serum samples from Guinea-Bissau (GB) and Guinea-Conakry (GC) using serological tests and commercial (HIV-1) and in-house (HIV-2) real-time PCR assays. Samples were first identified as HIV-2 positive by Genie I/II assay in GB and GC. HIV positivity was detected in 44 of 46 samples by all screening and confirmatory assays. A diagnostic strategy based on Inno-LIA and HIV-1/2 RNA detection assays allowed accurate discrimination between HIV-1 and HIV-2 in 84% of single infections and confirmed 32% of double infections. In samples with double reactivity in the Inno-LIA test and no detection of both genomes, cross-reactivity likely hampered the identification of true double infections. In conclusion, the implementation of a diagnostic strategy, based on multiple specific serological tests and highly sensitive quantitative PCR assays, is recommended to ensure accurate HIV-2 diagnosis and appropriate therapy for individuals from areas in which the virus is endemic.

Abstract
HIV-1 and HIV-2 are two related retroviruses and, in regions where both infections are endemic, HIV-1/2 dual infection can occur. Several important questions arise about the interplay between these two viruses in a single host, including: what is the potential for HIV-1–HIV-2 recombinants to form, are there synergistic or inhibitory mechanisms that result in distinct viral replication dynamics when compared with HIV-1 or HIV-2 monoinfected individuals and what are the factors to consider when choosing antiretroviral regimes in HIV-1/2 dual-infected individuals? We summarize the relevant evidence to answer these questions, as well as indentify trends in prevalence and how the natural history of HIV-1/2 dual infection differs from that of HIV-1 or HIV-2 monoinfection. The epidemiological and in vitro evidence pertaining to the question of whether HIV-2 infection may protect against HIV-1 superinfection will also be addressed.

Abstract
Real-time RT-PCR has become the method of choice for automated detection of viral RNA target sequences in the clinical laboratory. Besides commercially available certified test systems, a variety of so-called in-house methods have been described in the literature. Generally, appropriate validation and continuous quality control are mandatory if these in-house-developed assays are used in clinical diagnostics. In this chapter, an in-house HIV-1 real-time RT-PCR assay for blood donor screening is described. The procedure includes the pooling of plasma samples, viral RNA isolation, and subsequent detection of amplification in real-time one-step RT-PCR. The validation considers the specificity, the sensitivity on HIV-1 genomic variants, and the robustness of the assay.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group M viruses have achieved a global distribution, while HIV-1 group O viruses are endemic only in particular regions of Africa. Here, we evaluated biological characteristics of group O and group M viruses in ex vivo models of HIV-1 infection. The replicative capacity and ability to induce CD4 T-cell depletion of eight group O and seven group M primary isolates were monitored in cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and tonsil explants. Comparative and longitudinal infection studies revealed HIV-1 group-specific activity patterns: CCR5-using (R5) viruses from group M varied considerably in their replicative capacity but showed similar levels of cytopathicity. In contrast, R5 isolates from group O were relatively uniform in their replicative fitness but displayed a high and unprecedented variability in their potential to deplete CD4 T cells. Two R5 group O isolates were identified that cause massive depletion of CD4 T cells, to an extent comparable to CXCR4-using viruses and not documented for any R5 isolate from group M. Intergroup comparisons found a five- to eightfold lower replicative fitness of isolates from group O than for isolates from group M yet a similar overall intrinsic pathogenicity in tonsil cultures. This study establishes biological ex vivo characteristics of HIV-1 group O primary isolates. The current findings challenge the belief that a grossly reduced replicative fitness or inherently impaired cytopathicity of viruses from this group underlies their low global prevalence.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) have a high level of genetic diversity. The outlier variants of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) group O are distantly related to HIV-1 group M. Their divergence has an impact on serological diagnosis, with a risk of false-negative results. In this study, we report 20 failure cases, involving patients with primary or chronic infection, in France and Cameroon between 2001 and 2008. Our results indicate that some assays detected group O infection much less efficiently than others. Two major reasons for these false-negative results were identified: the presence or absence of a group O-specific antigen (and the designed sequence) for the detection of antibodies and the greater envelope variability of group O than of group M strains. This study highlights the complexity of screening for these divergent variants and the need to evaluate test performance with a large panel of strains, due to the extensive diversity of group O variants.

Abstract
Specific, effective and rapid neutralization assays are crucial for the development of an HIV vaccine based on the stimulation of neutralizing antibodies and the development of such an assay for the human immunodeficiency virus-2 (HIV-2) is described. Virus neutralization was measured as the reduction of provirus integration using a duplex real-time PCR with high efficiency (99.4%). This PCR uses primers and a probe specific for the proviral LTR. Amplification and quantitative analysis of the cellular GAPDH gene was carried out in parallel to control for toxic or growth-inhibitory components in the sera. The neutralization assay was used to screen sera from 23 HIV-2 infected patients. 21 sera were able to neutralize HIV-2(60415K), 20 sera neutralized HIV-2(7312A) and 7 sera cross-neutralized HIV-1 IIIB. In contrast, when 14 of these sera were tested in parallel with a conventional neutralization assay based on a p27Gag capture ELISA, only one was found to neutralize HIV-2(60415K) and 11 to neutralize HIV-2(7312A) compared with 12 and 13 sera respectively using the PCR-based assay.

Abstract
Among the 3700 HIV-infected patients followed in our institution, 17 with regular clinical, immunological and virological follow-up and identified as being dually seropositive for HIV-1 and HIV-2 were included in this study. Antiretroviral therapy seemed to be as effective, in terms of virological and immunological response, as in patients infected by HIV-1 alone. Nevertheless, the observed selection of HIV-2 protease resistance mutations in two cases underlines the importance of selecting drugs that are active on both viruses.

Multi-target QSAR modeling and comparative multi-distance study of the giant components of antiviral drug-drug complex networks. Bioorg Med Chem 2008; 17:569-75.

Abstract
One limitation of almost all antiviral Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) models is that they predict the biological activity of drugs against only one species of virus. Consequently, the development of multi-tasking QSAR models (mt-QSAR) to predict drugs activity against different species of virus is of the major vitally important. These mt-QSARs offer also a good opportunity to construct drug-drug Complex Networks (CNs) that can be used to explore large and complex drug-viral species databases. It is known that in very large CNs we can use the Giant Component (GC) as a representative sub-set of nodes (drugs) and but the drug-drug similarity function selected may strongly determines the final network obtained. In the three previous works of the present series we reported mt-QSAR models to predict the antimicrobial activity against different fungi [Gonzalez-Diaz, H.; Prado-Prado, F. J.; Santana, L.; Uriarte, E. Bioorg.Med.Chem.2006, 14, 5973], bacteria [Prado-Prado, F. J.; Gonzalez-Diaz, H.; Santana, L.; Uriarte E. Bioorg.Med.Chem.2007, 15, 897] or parasite species [Prado-Prado, F.J.; González-Díaz, H.; Martinez de la Vega, O.; Ubeira, F.M.; Chou K.C. Bioorg.Med.Chem.2008, 16, 5871]. However, including these works, we do not found any report of mt-QSAR models for antivirals drug, or a comparative study of the different GC extracted from drug-drug CNs based on different similarity functions. In this work, we used Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to fit a mt-QSAR model that classify 600 drugs as active or non-active against the 41 different tested species of virus. The model correctly classifies 143 of 169 active compounds (specificity=84.62%) and 119 of 139 non-active compounds (sensitivity=85.61%) and presents overall training accuracy of 85.1% (262 of 308 cases). Validation of the model was carried out by means of external predicting series, classifying the model 466 of 514, 90.7% of compounds. In order to illustrate the performance of the model in practice, we develop a virtual screening recognizing the model as active 92.7%, 102 of 110 antivirus compounds. These compounds were never use in training or predicting series. Next, we obtained and compared the topology of the CNs and their respective GCs based on Euclidean, Manhattan, Chebychey, Pearson and other similarity measures. The GC of the Manhattan network showed the more interesting features for drug-drug similarity search. We also give the procedure for the construction of Back-Projection Maps for the contribution of each drug sub-structure to the antiviral activity against different species.

Abstract
No drug has been targeted specifically for HIV-2 (human immunodeficiency virus type 2) infection despite its increasing prevalence worldwide. The antiviral HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus type 1) protease (PR) inhibitor darunavir and the chemically related GRL98065 and GRL06579A were designed with the same chemical scaffold and different substituents at P2 and P2' to optimize polar interactions for HIV-1 PR (PR1). These inhibitors are also effective antiviral agents for HIV-2-infected cells. Therefore, crystal structures of HIV-2 PR (PR2) complexes with the three inhibitors have been solved at 1.2-A resolution to analyze the molecular basis for their antiviral potency. Unusually, the crystals were grown in imidazole and zinc acetate buffer, which formed interactions with the PR2 and the inhibitors. Overall, the structures were very similar to the corresponding inhibitor complexes of PR1 with an RMSD of 1.1 A on main-chain atoms. Most hydrogen-bond and weaker C-H...O interactions with inhibitors were conserved in the PR2 and PR1 complexes, except for small changes in interactions with water or disordered side chains. Small differences were observed in the hydrophobic contacts for the darunavir complexes, in agreement with relative inhibition of the two PRs. These near-atomic-resolution crystal structures verify the inhibitor potency for PR1 and PR2 and will provide the basis for the development of antiviral inhibitors targeting PR2.
