Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 coreceptor usage plays a critical role for virus tropism and pathogenesis. A switch from CCR5 to CXCR4-using viruses can occur in the natural course of infection and correlates with subsequent disease progression. To investigate whether HIV-1 genetic evolution might lead to changes in virus coreceptor usage during highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), a longitudinal genotypic analysis of the virus...
