Abstract excerpt
Transmission of drug-resistant HIV has been widely documented. We generated tenofovir (TFV)- and emtricitabine (FTC)-resistant SHIV162P3 mutants that can be used to investigate the transmission efficiency of drug-resistant viruses and their impact on the efficacy of pre-exposure prophylaxis. Both SHIV162p3(M184V) and SHIV162p3(K65R) replicated in vitro at high titers. Drug resistance profiles were similar to...
