Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine if a history of injection drug use influences genotypic protease inhibitor (PI) resistance to antiretroviral agents. METHODS: We assessed the presence of resistance mutations in PI-naive injection drug users (IDUs) and non-IDUs participating in the Women's Interagency HIV Study. Eighteen HIV-infected participants who reported injection drug use before study enrollment and 32 HIV-infected...
