Abstract excerpt
Background: Standard genotypic tests performed on HIV DNA from patients on suppressive ART, with previous resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) detected in their plasma, underestimate resistance. We thus compared ultra-deep sequencing (UDS) with bulk sequencing of DNA to detect RAMs previously identified in plasma. Methods: We sequenced the DNA of 169 highly treatment experienced patients with suppressed...
