Abstract: As expected, discriminatory DRMs such as
K65R,
L74I, and
Y115F were noted in Tenofovir (TDF) containing regimens while the Thymidine Analogue Mutations (TAMs
) L210W and T215 mutations were in Zidovudine (AZT)-based regimens.
Result: K65R (95.2%, p = 0.00005),
Y115F (85%, p = 0.005) and
L74I (82.6%, p= 0.005) mutations appeared more in the TDF/3TC/EFV group as
Result: However, comparisons for individual mutations within the
NRTI class of drugs indicated that mutations
K65R,
L74I,
Y115F,
L210W and T215 mutations differed significantly among the two regimens.
