Abstract excerpt
This study reports on the drug resistance profiles for HIV-infected adults in Jamaica using genotypic methods. The genetic diversity of HIV-1 found in these patients was also determined using phylogenetic analysis. Epidemiological data were documented for each patient, blood was collected by venous puncture, and plasma was separated and stored. Viral RNA was extracted and analyzed for mutations in the viral...
