Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of highly active antiretroviral therapy resistance mutations in the viral pol gene of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) genotypes that circulate in Hong Kong, by means of an in-house HIV-1 genotyping system. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: Two HIV clinics in Hong Kong. PATIENTS: A modified in-house genotyping resistance test was used to sequence the partial pol...
