Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 genotype assay using plasma viruses has been widely applied for detection of resistant viruses in infected individuals, whereas there are only a few reports about proviral genotype in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). To determine which sample, plasma or PBMC, should be used for early detection of drug-resistant viruses during antiretroviral treatment, we analyzed 275 plasma-derived and 211...
