Abstract excerpt
There are conflicting data on the impact of low frequency HIV-1 drug-resistant mutants on the response of first-line highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), more specifically containing a NNRTI. As population sequencing does not detect resistant viruses representing less than 15-25% of the viral population, more sensitive techniques have been developed but still need clinical validation. We evaluated...
