Abstract

The emergence of drug-resistant variants of HIV continues to be of prime interest in the fields of HIV disease pathogenesis and antiretroviral chemotherapy. Drug resistance is the inevitable conse-quence of incomplete suppression of HIV replication. The rapid replication rate of HIV and its inherent genetic variation lead to the generation of a seemingly limitless number of viral variants that exhibit
