Abstract excerpt
Background: Fostemsavir belongs to the new class of attachment inhibitors (AIs); it inhibits the entry of HIV into CD4+ T-lymphocytes by blocking conformational changes in gp120. This is a promising AI, but previous phenotypic data showed that genetically divergent HIV-1 group O could present natural resistance to this drug. These data were obtained from only two strains, which are not representative of the high...
