Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic variation in the HIV-1 pol gene, which encodes the main targets for anti-HIV drugs, may favors different susceptibility and resistance pathways to antiretroviral agents. Several amino acid substitutions occur frequently in some non-B viruses at positions associated with drug resistance in clade B viruses. The clinical relevance of those polymorphisms is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the...
