Abstract excerpt
The pattern of HIV-1 subtype distribution and prevalence of transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRM) is heterogeneous across different Brazilian regions. Little information is available about the molecular epidemiologic profile in Northern Brazil. HIV-1 protease (PR) and reverse transcriptase (RT) sequences were obtained from 97 drug-naive HIV-1-infected individuals from Amapá, one of the most isolated...
