Resistance to HIV drugs is high in the UK
The prevalence of primary resistance to HIV drugs in the United Kingdom is one of the highest reported in the world. In a multicentre observational study that included more than 2300 HIV positive people, the UK Group on Transmitted HIV Drug Resistance (p 1368) found that the prevalence of resistance was almost 15% and has increased markedly over time. The risk of being resistant was only weakly related to demographic and clinical factors such as ethnicity and viral subtype.
