Abstract excerpt
Raltegravir (RAL) resistance is associated with the selection of integrase mutations at positions 92, 143, 148, and/or 155. A substantial proportion of RAL failures, however, occurs in the absence of these changes. An examination of RAL plasma concentrations may help in interpreting this observation. All early RAL virological failures seen at 22 clinics in Spain during 2009 were identified. HIV integrase...
