Minority Variants Associated with Transmitted and Acquired HIV-1 Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor Resistance: Implications for the Use of Second-Generation Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors

Abstract

In treatment-naive patients, UDPS did not detect additional major NNRTI-resistant mutations suggesting that etravirine may be effective in patients with transmitted K103N. In NNRTI-experienced patients, UDPS often detected additional major NNRTI-resistant mutations suggesting that etravirine may not be fully active in patients with acquired K103N.
