Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Drug resistance mutations (DRMs) can serve as distinct, nonpolymorphic markers for evaluating diversity of expressed HIV-1. We screened for DRMs during early-acute viremia and examined the diversity in reverse transcriptase (RT) relative to envelope (env) in cases of transmitted drug resistance. METHODS: We evaluated 111 longitudinal plasma samples collected every 2-7 days from 15 individuals who...
