Abstract excerpt
The development of mutations conferring drug resistance was investigated in 49 antiretroviral-naive asymptomatic HIV-1 subjects with CD4+ cell counts of 250-500/mm3 given intermittent (6-week courses, 6 weeks apart) or continuous treatment with zidovudine (AZT) plus zalcitabine (ddC) over 54 weeks.
