Trends in transmitted HIV drug resistance in Iran from 2010 to 2011

Prevalence of Transmitted HIV Drug Resistance in Iran between 2010 and 2011

OBJECTIVE Drug-resistant (DR) HIV emerges during combined antiretroviral treatment (cART), creating concern about widespread transmission of DR-HIV as cART is expanded in resource-limited countries. The aim of this study was to determine the predominant HIV-1 subtypes and prevalence of transmitted DR mutations among antiretroviral-naïve patients in Iran. DESIGN To monitor transmission of DR H...

Transmitted antiretroviral drug resistance in treatment naïve HIV-infected persons in London in 2011 to 2013

INTRODUCTION Previously published UK data on HIV transmitted drug resistance (TDR) shows that it ranges between 3 and 9.4% [1,2]. However, there are no recent data from populations where HIV transmission rates are increasing. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of TDR in untreated HIV-infected individuals attending three HIV specialist clinics under the HIV Directorate, Chelsea a...

Recent trends and patterns in HIV‐1 transmitted drug resistance in the United Kingdom

OBJECTIVES Transmission of drug-resistant HIV-1 has decreased in the UK since the early 2000s. This analysis reports recent trends and characteristics of transmitted drug resistance (TDR) in the UK from 2010 to 2013. METHODS Resistance tests conducted in antiretroviral treatment (ART)-naïve individuals between 2010 and 2013 were analysed for the presence of transmitted drug resistance mutatio...

Time trends in HIV-1 transmitted drug resistance mutation frequency in Poland

INTRODUCTION In Poland, the HIV epidemic has shifted recently from being predominantly related to injection drug use (IDU) to being driven by transmissions among men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM). The number of new HIV cases has increased in the recent years, while no current data on the transmitted drug resistance associated mutations (tDRM) frequency trend over time are available from 2010. In ...
