Abstract excerpt
Antiretroviral combination therapy is a major advance in the treatment of HIV infection, but development of antiretroviral resistance is still an important cause of treatment failure. Therefore, resistance testing was recommended recently for follow-up of HIV-1 infected individuals. The aim of this study was to develop a new genotypic resistance assay because simple and affordable assays with sufficient...
