Abstract: Based on univariate analysis, a high CD4(+) cell count before antiretroviral treatment, homosexual behavior as a risk factor for
HIV infection, reduced drug exposure to
nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, low replicative capacity of HIV isolates, and more frequent detection of HIV isolates with a non-B subtype, an R5 biological phenotype, and
M184V and
T215Y/F mutations were factors associated with a discordant response to HAART.
