Result: Because patients in our cohort were exclusively treated with indinavir during the study, we focused on HIV-2
PR mutations
K7R,
I54M,
V62A,
I82F,
L90M, and
L99F, which have been associated with phenotypic
PI resistance to indinavir in previous, albeit limited, studies.
Result: Eight of 23 patients had virus strains with
PI mutations (
K7R,
I54M,
V62A,
I82F,
L90M, and
L99F) suggestive of indinavir resistance; 4 of these patients had virus strains that harbored multiple
