Result: For a number of TDRMs, no loss could be observed during the observation period (S1 Table) and, according to their maximal duration of observation, the following TDRMs seem to survive for lengthy periods in the absence of ART: the
NRTI resistance mutations
D67N (5.9 years),
K70R (6.9 years),
F77L (10.2 years),
T215E (5.9 years) and
K219Q (5.9 years), the
NNRTI resistance mutations
A98G (6.5 years) and
Y188L (5.9 years) as well as the
PI mutations
I54L (5.9 years) and
L90M (8.4 years) (S1 Table).
