Result: TAMS were infrequent (1%) and
Q151M was not observed (Figure 1).
Discussion: Furthermore, only one participant in this study harbored TAMs, in complete contrast to all other published studies from the region which report levels of 23% to 56% and the
Q151M mutation was not observed.
Discussion: The mutations
K65R and TAMs were observed infrequently, and the
Q151M was not present at all, thereby preserving the use of AZT, ddI or TNF used in second-line regimens.
