Discussion: Notably,
K103N/S, which was previously described as DRM with transmission fitness similar to wild-type virus with the ability to persist for years in the infected host, was found mainly in clustered sequences (6.2%) then outside clusters (2.8%).
Discussion: The predominant
NNRTI DRMs included
E138A/G, which is the natural polymorphic mutation for sub-subtype A6, was previously shown to have a prevalence of 7% frequency in Russian
HIV-infected patients, and is associated with low-level DR to rilpivirine, which is not taken into account in the assessment of PDR;
V106I, which alone causes a minimal reduction in
