In HIV-1-infected men who are receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy and who have no detectable levels of viral RNA in plasma the virus may be present in seminal cells and therefore may be capable of being transmitted sexually.
Simeprevir treatment failure was usually associated with emerging high-level resistance mutations, which became undetectable over time in half of the patients.
After failure to achieve SVR with TVR-based treatment, resistant variants are observed in most patients. However, presumably due to the lower fitness of those variants, they tend to be replaced with wild-type virus over time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
