Abstract excerpt
The protease (PR) and reverse transcriptase (RT) regions of HIV-1 isolates from 21 antiretroviral (ARV)-naive Malawian adults were sequenced and analyzed to determine the prevalence of drug resistance-associated mutations in this population. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that all isolates grouped with HIV-1 subtype C, the predominant subtype in Malawi. No major mutations associated with resistance to PR...
