Background  Pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) can limit the effectiveness of HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART). The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of PDR among HIV-positive individuals that initiated antiretroviral therapy in 2014–2020 in southwestern China.    Methods  Consecutive cross-sectional surveys were conducted in Qinzhou, Guangxi. We obtained blood samples from individuals who were newly diagnosed with HIV in 2014–2020. PDR and genetic networks analyses were performed by HIV-1 pol sequences using the Stanford HIV-database algorithm and HIV-TRACE, respectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to explore the potential factors associated with PDR.    Results  In total, 3236 eligible HIV-positive individuals were included. The overall prevalence of PDR was 6.0% (194/3236). The PDR frequency to NNRTI (3.3%) was much higher than that of NRTI (1.7%, p < 0.001) and PI (1.2%, p < 0.001). A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that PDR was significantly higher among individuals aged 18–29 (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.79, 95% CI 1.28–2.50) or 30–49 (aOR: 2.82, 95% CI 1.73–4.82), and harboring CRF08_BC (aOR: 3.23, 95% CI 1.58–6.59). A total of 1429 (43.8%) sequences were linked forming transmission clusters ranging in size from 2 to 119 individuals. Twenty-two individuals in 10 clusters had the same drug resistant mutations (DRMs), mostly to NNRTIs (50%, 5/10).    Conclusions  The overall prevalence of PDR was medium, numerous cases of the same DRMs among genetically linked individuals in networks further illustrated the importance of surveillance studies for mitigating PDR.
