Viral fitness can be modified upon development of antiretroviral drug resistance, usually by selection of compensatory mutations. In this study, we have used HIV-1 isolates from individuals receiving a protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimen to analyze the impact of basal genetic background on viral fitness evolution. Paired plasma samples and HIV-1 isolates were obtained from 10 PI-naive HIV-infected individuals...
