Introduction: Nevertheless, the few reported data establish that i) the natural nucleotide polymorphism of the HIV-2
Protease includes amino acid substitutions that are associated with drug resistance in HIV-1, and ii) comparison between the
Protease sequences of treated and untreated HIV-2 infected individuals reveals a number of mutations under some
PI-selective pressure such as
K7R,
V20I/A,
I36V,
V46I,
I54L/M,
V62A/T,
V71L,
I82F,
I84V/L, 90LM, and
L99F.
