Prevalence of HIV drug resistance is increasing
The prevalence of HIV variants resistant to antiretroviral drugs is
increasing in the United Kingdom. The UK Collaborative Group on
Monitoring the Transmission of HIV Drug Resistance (p 1087) studied
the prevalence of such viruses in primary infections reported to the UK
register of HIV seroconverters and found that it exceeded 20% in 2000 (10 out of 69 new converters). This finding reflects the continuation
of unsafe sexual practices in some sectors of the population. People
infected with resistant virus variants may respond suboptimally to treatment.
