Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of proviral DNA as a source of viral genetic material for genotypic coreceptor tropism testing (GTT). METHODS: GTT consisted of bulk V3 sequencing followed by geno2pheno interpretation with the interpretative cut-off [false positive rate (FPR)] set at 5 and 10%. GTT was performed for 165 patients with a viral load of >500 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL on...
