Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 622: Applying Next-Generation Sequencing to Track HIV-1 Drug Resistance Mutations Circulating in Portugal
Conclusions: We present the first evidence on TDR and ADR to INSTI regimens in followed up patients presenting for healthcare in Portugal. We observed low levels of TDR to INSTIs among ART-na&iuml;ve and moderate levels in ART-exposed patients. Regimens containing PIs could be an alternative second line in patients with intermediate or high-level drug resistance, especially against second-generation INSTIs (dolutegravir, bictegravir, and cabotegravir).
