Abstract:The increasing prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drug resistance mutations (HIVDRM) in untreated seropositive persons has consequences for future treatment options. This is extremely important in key populations such as female sex workers (FSWs), where the prevalence of pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) and associated risk factors are unknown. In this study, we analyzed PDR and associated risk factors in recently diagnosed and treatment-naive FSWs in Nairobi, Kenya. In this cross-sectional stud… Show more
