HIV-2 EU—Supporting Standardized HIV-2 Drug Resistance Interpretation: An Update
Abstract Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) is an attenuated retroviral infection characterized by specific natural susceptibility to antiretroviral drugs and acquired resistance profiles. Based on the latest knowledge of phenotypic data and clinical follow-up, HIV-2 resistance interpretation rules have been updated and ...
