Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genotypic resistance testing (GRT) is routinely performed upon diagnosis of HIV-1 infection or during virological failure using plasma viral RNA. An alternative source for GRT could be cellular HIV-1 DNA. OBJECTIVES: A substantial number of participants in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study (SHCS) never received GRT. We applied a method that enables access to the near full-length proviral HIV-1 genome without...
