Abstract: The longest mean survival times were calculated for the
NNRTI mutations
K103N (5.3 years, 95% CI 4.2-5.6) and
E138A/G/K (8.0 years, 95% CI 5.8-10.2 / 7.9 years, 95% CI 5.4-10.3 / 6.7 years, 95% CI 6.7-6.7) and for the
NRTI mutation
M41L (6.4 years, 95% CI 6.0-6.7).The long persistence of single TDRMs indicates that onward transmission from ART-naive individuals is the main cause for TDR in Germany.
Introduction: However, the landscape of antiretrovirals is changing continuously and new mutations such as
E138A/G/K/Q/R (that confers resistance to the
NNRTI rilpivirine (RPV), approved in 2011) are therefore not covered by this list.
