Abstract excerpt
A major concern in the antiretroviral (ARV) treatment of HIV infections with protease inhibitors (PI) is the emergence of resistance, which results from the selection of distinct mutations within the viral protease (PR) gene. Among patients who do not respond to treatment with the PI nelfinavir (NFV), the D30N mutation is often observed. However, several reports have shown that D30N emerges with different...
