Primary resistance mutations to second generation HIV non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors are rare in HIV-infected persons in the US (estimated at 1.8%). We report an antiretroviral treatment (ART)-naïve patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (CD4 cell count 20 cells/mm3, viral load 8439 copies/mL), who was infected with HIV-1 sub-type B virus containing a reverse transcriptase...
